Moederator deleted it, with my permission, as being too crazy. Harsh words were too much.

Just fyi guys, here's the thread with all the pics of what was done on the MB I had up for sale earlier, showing the restorer's work from start to finish. Though the pf wasn't replaced, I think anyone can see this was above and beyond in terms of a restoration. http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=213097. Frankly, other than the pf not being replaced, I have difficulty believing anyone couldn't see the conscientious care put into the machine restoration, in addition to mirror blades, new plastics, polished metal in the cab, clear flipper buttons, new metal wire work, new plastics, new chrome everywhere, electrical buzzer mod, etc. I personally can't think of anything in the restoration that wasn't done, other than the pf replacement. The pics in the thread tell the story.

Actually, I got an email from you saying the thread was messed up and should probably just be deleted and I said that's fine. I don't care, because I'm selling the MB elsewhere.

Here is the exact pm I got and my response;

Scott,

I think it's probably best to close that thread down. Squeakman took it into a bad direction, and it's a complete mess. You're probably better off just starting another one.

that's fine. just delete. I listed the mb on mrpinball. Thanks.

Okay, I published for all to see, so there was no misunderstanding anywhere. I believe our misunderstanding is semantic here, in that I thought "closing" was the same as "deleting", but now I understand your distinction. I don't really care what happened, as the thread had, as you pointed out, gone in a weird direction. At any rate, I think all have voiced their concerns, upsets, frustrations, etc.

I appreciate your effort to help and mean no disrespect but I felt that showing this conversation would show everyone the sequence.... if anyone was interested.

Things seems to be getting to be much ado about nothing.... There are certainly more captivating topics than this.

So, Brian, thanks for taking the actions you thought best as this thread unraveled.... lol.
