I shared that story with my fiance and made her swear she'd never do anything like that. But then again....we only have one pin now with another on the way and room for up to six....

Quoted from Toasterdog:Well, Barrywnj is a notorious seller on Ebay. He has quite the history (mostly bad, but some okay) on Pinside. Many bought their first pin from him. Mine was advertised as 100% working, you won't be dissappointed, great shape, etc. Needless to say it had a ton of problems, although it worked for about a day.
I don't have any pictures I can find, except the boards in the backbox. The white wire was run to some type of arcade power switching box proping up the voltages I think?. The GI harness was soldered directly to the board too. Significant water damage on the back of the head, old acid damage on board, sunken and cracked inserts. Inside of cabinet absolutely as filthy as anything could be. To top it off, he had bundled leg bolts and hardware into a baggie and just laid it on top of the back box under cardboard. I had to lift the head to remove the cardboard and when I did the bundle of hardware (small, but heavy) fell from under the cardboard and crashed through the 1/4" plate (not tempered glass).
Needless to say it was a rough introduction to pinball and a lesson learned.

Wow....that sucks. Please tell me there was at least one thing held together with duct tape in the game?
