    Right off I am going to apologize because I know this stuff is always being brought up but I just can't resist. One picture and that pic shows the complete lack of attention to detail. Reconditioned...really?! I have a hard time with this kind of crap and how easily sellers can get away with manipulation. Maybe I shouldn't care but I start to feel for the stupid people...Pinball stupid that is.
    ...and I quote:
    Machine is in very good condition, but please understand it has been used - we do not represent it to be like brand new in the factory box condition! We encourage you to ask questions and request additional pictures prior to bidding or purchasing to ensure that you are satisfied with your purchase."

    Reconditioned - repair something: to bring something back into good condition, especially by repairing it and replacing worn-out parts.

    So because it didn't work right before and now it works that is reconditioned? Rubbish, seems like a play on words to entice the uneducated.

    Sorry for the rant, I am off my soapbox now...I just hate this crap and these kinds of goofs are the reason why the Pinball market is what it is today.

    At least they didn't say restored.
