    Quoted from Yesh23:

    Wanting some advice on a game I bought sight unseen from a fellow Pinsider. I'm a novice when it comes to machines so I always look for machines from fellow Pinsiders and I have an amazing tech. I've bought about a dozen games sight unseen and have all went flawlessly until my most recent purchase. I should have been alerted when after we struck a deal, he asked for me to not say it was sold on here and I noticed he had placed it was sold elsewhere so I couldn't leave feedback. The game was delivered and set in storage for about 6 weeks until I could pick it up. When I final got it and hooked it up, the game wouldn't function. I thought maybe it was a cold solder connection since it was stored in a home that was 50 degrees so I wrote it off until someone went through the whole game and what was creating an issue was the lower flippers were missing their diodes which made it impossible to play. I reached back out to the fellow Pinsider a few times and he's finally responded back"the game was in players condition" even though during the whole transaction he stated it worked 100 percent but the playfield/ etc. was rough. Just looking for some advice and thanks

    Don't buy games unseen... strike 1
    Buying games second hand when you can't work on them is risky... strike 2
    Storing and moving setup and then expecting no troubles... strike 3

    Really it doesn't matter how many times you got away with something without getting burned... you were playing with fire.
