Pinballs offered, should I bite ? UPDATE: Williams Getaway, The Project begins..
WareWolF:
Firepower can be a pretty hard game unless you are a really good player. You might want to set it up to be pretty easy at first until you get used to it. Suggestion : Set it up for free play, 5 balls, extra ball's instead of specials, and extra ball's instead of replays at 250000, 500000, 750000 & 990000. That makes for a longer more enjoyable game. Get used to hitting the 3 left or 3 right center targets as soon as possible to light the left outlane kicker because it will eat your ball constantly. The right outlane has a post that is adjustable if you use the screw hole to the left it will make it drain less often. If the machine needs any work read the Williams system 3-7 guide at http://marvin3m.com/fix.htm, also there are schematics at http://www.firepowerpinball.com

OK, the latest on the offered pins:
The Firepower is probably not going to happen. The seller apparntly changed his mind, but I'm not in direct contact (via-via-via). I gave up hope on this one.
The other one, I just received a call about and it seems this WILL happen soon !
It's a Williams Getaway. It should be working and it's going to cost me €60,-
My brother in law will even help getting it to me :D
IF this is all true, I will be one happy guy !!!
[Edit] Bit worried. It could also be the old Allied Getaway (http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=999&picno=3625)........BUT,BUT,BUT the very first thing my brother-in-law told me that "there was a flashlight on top". That old Getaway doesn't have one.....
The Williams DOES (hard to be missed:
ChadTower:
Either way, get it for 60 that price. It's a steal for either.
Level42:
Transaction was already done. Even without seeing it :)
It's just a matter of when my bro-in-law will have time....

the later getaway was an excellent pin,we had quite a few of these-good fun and real good earners.in my opinion from the era of greatness of williams.
slightly off topic but my fave pins were addams,gilligans island,star trek next gen,getaway,party zone,bride of pinbot
i am particulary keen on gilligans as it was the first pinball i ever worked on :)
