Herndon, VA
There's a LW3 listed on eBay that's being sold out of Fredericksburg Va. Just a warning to pinside buddies it's not as advertised. If your bidding on it or want to PM me first.

I bought it
Then returned it
luckily at the time he had a 7 day return policy. He had none of those problems listed at the time. Ad read "everything works as it should". It has more problems than listed. Mounting brackets for the DMD are broken, 6 of the 8 bolt holes on the legs are stripped there's many hack jobs in the backbox and under the playfield. The cabinet has far more damage than listed, translite is stuck to the plexiglas perminatly, 2 silonoids are bad, there's more I can't think of at the moment. That's all on top of the things he has listed. I LOVE a good project but that pin is a disaster. It's a reimport also. Oh yea, bad solider joints on the DMD at least. I just didnt want a pinsider to get burned.
I was watching that one. I noticed it disappeared when it was originally listed, then popped back up, seems like it is going for more than it did the first time. At least he let you return it. Hopefully the right people see this.
It wasn't a like it or return it policy. It was a " if you know enough about pins to realize I'm a lying hack you can return it policy". I like LW3. It wasn't awkward for me, you would have to ask him.
Is it at least selling for a low price?Might be worth a hundred or so but I wouldn't pay a whole lot
It's worth what it's going for now if you know what your getting. It wasn't worth the $745 I paid for it. I sat on Marco's site and figured up a very detailed list of every thing I knew it would need to get it working and ship it out. The list came to 300 without shipping and tax.
Quoted from the_pin_family:It's a reimport also.
I do not see that as a negative. All the other items are bad, thanks for giving everybody the heads-up

Agreed. My LW3 is a reimpoirt from Germany. Lol...out of 3 pins I have it ended up being the one with the least amount of issues after purchase. Lil wax on the PF and a couple burnt bulbs and I was good to go for $750 price. Jeesh...didn't even have to change a switch or solder a diode or anything above changing a couple bulbs. Maybe I just got lucky on that one. I dunno. I would buy a reimport again...of course after making sure it all worked before paying like I did on mine. No problem if it passes the initial test/review
