Re: I'm nervous...going to pick up my machine from FUN

A little high for what you had to do, but not horrible.. I got mine for
2200 from a local dealer, and had to do what you did, came out around
the same price with the monitor and stuff. But I LOVE the game, so I
was happy..

Enjoy it!! And do not waste your time on the Star Wars kit, I put it
in a few days ago, pulled it after 2 days, and said never again..

Sorry to keep you guys waiting...I've been too busy fixing all the #$%@
on my machine.
I've spent about $700.00 already. Here's the list
- new monitor (current one works, but is very dim and lifeless...yes, I
adjusted all the controls)
- new targets
- slingshot plastics
- star posts, bumper caps, rubbers
- black decals for ball catcher
- replaced trough LED PCB
- new coin door (current one does not have a high voltage tripping
bracket mechanism thingy....I had to to use a wood clamp just to play
the game (Steve is sending a switch cover that I can manually take off
and put on....ugh)
- did not ship with any back box keys...had to drill them out (Steve
said he would send a set of replacements
- Upper left cabinet decal (current one all beat to hell)
- skip ramp (Steve actually paid Jason for a replacement after I
complained)
- new rails (current rails are scratched pretty heavily
- the power supply has been nucker rigged...there are live bare wires
every which way just sitting in the bottom of the cab (probably because
it's a reimport)
- I had to buy a new power supply and CPU fan. PS fan was extremely
noisy, and CPU fan was dead
- saucers were taped onto the plastic ramp as the tabs were broken
off...must be replaced to accomodate UFO Pinball mod.
- Treasure cove polish kit (a must)
- new misc. plastics
...the list goes on
The good news is that the machine will be nearly new when finished.
To be honest, I'm just glad the damn thing powered on. He said it was
in good shape, but there is no way he could have looked at this thing
before he sold it to me.

Did I miss the report on how this turned out?

I bought a RFM machine from Steve N. (FUN). I pick it up from the
shipping company tonight. So far his service has been excellent (fast
shipping, good e-mails), but I've read some negative posts about his
pins. Should I be worried?
