Ok, this isn't mine, or it would be a better brag. But my best friend just bought a home use only Doctor Who pinball machine from the guy who bought it brand new.
The guy had a power surge in his house in 1997, and the game hadn't worked since. So Dave bought it for $300.
I fixed it within minutes of cracking it open (blown varistor shorting across the ac line input filter, and a juiced battery).
The playfield is a bit dirty, but it should clean up to be a nice 9+ condition machine. Dave gets to clean and wax it tommorrow (I fixed it for him, so he can clean it himself).
The best part is that it is one of the 100 prototype units with the factory moving Dalek head installed.
