I have to ask because i'm looking so hard for one, will this machine be for sale when you finish with it?

Quoted from swanng:

If the cost is worth it to you, it's worth it, I suppose.

Not only worth it to Alan, but worth it to me too.
This machine is coming to Australia to be the jewel in my collection. My grail pin and the best one i have seen before.
I'm sure i won't see it for 6 months or so but that will make it all the more sweet when i do finally get it.

I owe Alan a debt of gratitude for taking the risk on freighting so far when it must have been much simpler to sell it locally. Thanks again mate.

Thanks mate, already standing at the end of the driveway hopping from one foot to the other holding my dick. Can't wait to see the truck and if you don't mind i'll post a few closing pics as well when it gets here in a few months.

If i can ever do anything for you let me know. Might be able to ship some koalas or something.

Yes mate, the topic is complete for sure now. It was packed very carefully and it survived without a scratch that i can see. A 5 month wait but well worth it for the most beautiful object i own. I wouldn't swap it to save my Harley.

It's up next to my dining table so i can stare at it at the moment, but will go down to it's rightful place after we sort the transformer to accept 240v.

Thank you again mate, i have been given an incredible gift, the nicest thing i've ever had.

Getting the machine ready for Pinfest (hopefully in Sept still) this year at Newcastle. Probably Australia's biggest pinball show and it's been accepted.

Been playing rock solid since i got it and just doing a couple of little touches now. Speaker upgrades, new shooter sleeve and rod, speaker trim being polished if i can get it done and replaced if i can't etc. Hoping to get it perfect for people to play and enjoy, they've never had a Sorcerer there i was told.
Gotta be the loudest knocker in a room full of pinnies too, like a gunshot.

Thanks for the bump. For closure, Alan's machine did go to Pinfest Newcastle (and has the medal to prove it) in November 2020, where it was enjoyed by hundreds of people over the weekend. It was a big hit and the below photo was taken when Peter Watt put a 7m+ GC score on it.
