We...we need a video of it, seems no one have ever filmed it in action.

Quoted from frobozz:There was no way to video it. It was disassembled, with physically no good way to reassemble it without cabinet repairs. The head had been separated by pulling EVERY connector off of every board in the backbox and feeding the entire harness down into the body. Admittedly better than the usual clueless old-Stern owner who takes bolt cutters to that last bundle that they can't find a connector for (it snakes down to the power supply) but still, would take some effort to put back together.
He had an offer of $3K. He had a group offer of $5K. He had an offer of "I'll beat that $5K offer." I told him those people were going to be mightily disappointed when they showed up and saw the condition, and he said he wasn't trying to fake anyone out, and I believe him, but he just really doesn't know anything about pinball and doesn't understand the meaning of that. Clay fixed that issue though by posting those pictures!
He saved the thing from a dumpster, literally. He did hit the jackpot. I don't blame him for trying to maximize his jackpot, and use the money to buy a working game, because that's all he really wanted originally, was a pinball to play. It's just that the jackpot isn't as big as he was originally thinking it was, and it may take some time before he sees that. Or who knows, maybe someone with a spare Freefall parts cabinet and more money than sense will give him his payday. For the sake of that rich buyer, I hope the EPROMs have not lost their bits.
Huh, well if i was a rich man i would give him the cash just to get the game into more safer hands, this scenario sounds like "meh im done with this, back into a dumpster it goes" about to happen.
Quoted from vid1900:If I buy it, I'll gladly post what I paid for it.
What reason would I have to keep it a secret?
If I buy it for $2K, and sell it for $1M the buyer will know I made a profit, so what?
If I buy it for $2K and donate it to the PHOF, does Tim care?
Yeah i never understood why people are ashamed of what they paid for stuff.
