This is disappointing. Just like Cosmo, I to defended Choggard on his F-14 for sale thread thinking that he was turning over a new leaf. But after reading over and over again how he is not truthful in his ways of doing business leaving people with remorse and bad experience's, I guess some people live without having a shame bone in their body.

Choggard is digging his own grave. For a good pinball machine, condition is king. For a quality person to deal with, reputation is. My condolences to the OP for the bad experience and hoping that the enjoyment of your pin can help forget your misfortunes.
