Thanks for reading...  I mainly like to buy, Fix than Play pinballs i buy from Ebay.  This is more of a hobby for me since i have limited space at the house.  I will play a pin for a while than sell to rotate the collection.  All pins that i have sold on Ebay worked when they arrived to the buyer.  Most of the Pins i have received have not worked as advertised.

I'm not sure what the definition of shopping a pinball is, however this is what i do after i've received a Pinball from Ebay.  Complete tear down of playfield,  a good cleaning to remove all dirt,  3-4 good coats of Carnuba Wax is applied, hand wash all plastics,  polish all metal parts, re-assemble Playfield components, replace most of the Screws, Nuts, washers etc, broken Plasitcs are replaced if available,  switches are cleaned,  GI Connector replaced if necessary, Power Board will have been re-bridged and capped if necessary, New Display if necessary, Display board re-built if necessary.
