congrats!!!. The machine looks very nicely packed but wouldn't it be better to ship without legs?...would just be a little concerned about cabinet damage that way. Not to hijack thread, but do many people here ship with legs on?

By the way...you are becoming one of OCs finest pinball collections. Awesome.

Quoted from o-din:

I would be concerned about shipping damage with or without the legs, but those two guy's are professionals, so I won't worry.

Yes I get that, but the additional risk of shifting of contents and the legs rippping out of the sockets worry me. Hopefully, since they are experienced as you say, they strap it down or pack so it won't shift and put strain on the legs. These things are built tough enough to withstand houligans in arcades so they are pretty sturdy so I am certain it will be ok. I haven't done it yet, but I assume many are shipping with legs on when they use NAVL and getting by. When I tranport in a pickup or other vehicle, I always take the legs off (Not that anyone cares what I do since I am not as famous as Lloyd nor as experienced).

plus you have bought and sold more machines than me which makes your word more highly qualified than mine!!! Again congrats on the game. I have never played one but have heard great things about it.

Quoted from Mr68:

This was much more than luck. Although Brian (o-din) and I had never met, I was an admirer of his posting style here on Pinside. He's funny, seemly honest and stays away from the sniping and shit storms. I've never seen him attack anybody here but if he did I'd trust his judgment.
Long story short: I had other determined suitors to buy my Joker Poker. I held it for o-din and even let him beat me up on price a little bit. *Nothing against the other contenders but I felt comfortable with o-din.
*Food for thought to Troll's and those with a chip on their shoulder.

Nice statement

Quoted from Mr68:

I'm proud to say Chris is a friend of mine. And he is one of the most talented pinball mechanics out there. So much so that he was able to tune this machine *during game play*, with the glass on and the coin door locked.
Through a series of pushes to the left and right flipper buttons and a nudge or two, he repaired the game to perfection. Freak'en magic!

Now maybe I am stating the obvious and either showing my gullibility or my lack of experience...but that has to be a joke...right? You can't tune a machine that way, but if you could I would pay to see that. Please save me the suspense tell me it ain't so.
