Decent players condition. 95% of the time it works 100%. A couple lane switches don't register. But hey, who doesn't want a playfield with Peg Bundy tied to a chair opposite a monkey. Flippers strong enough to make all the shots. Topper missing. $1200 firm, or it burns. Grand Rapids MI areaIf it burns make a video and throw it up on utube

For the record, I have burned a pinball machine before due to a powder post beetle infestation in a "Barn Find" Gotlieb Roller Disco.

After researching here on RGP, and other places for what to do. I ended up stripping all the metal and plastic parts, then burning the wood. I could not risk my house to a pest that could destroy it, and with little kids, I did not want to treat with a toxic substance they might encounter. I eventually drove and got the backglass from the owner. I always thought I might encounter one again someday, and I was so sad I never got a chance to play it. It did teach me a valuable lesson in buyer beware.

VDOJAQ,
I'd be interested in that if I get the machine.
I access RGP through google groups, but when I try send messages to people that option is grayed out, and it says I don't have permission to do that.
Thanks,
Zap
John,
I must be a complete idiot, as I have installed Thunderbird and registered with Eternal-September.org, and I am totally lost on how to configure the settings to get RGP. Tutorils I've been able to find show a much different interface than what I see on my screen. I am a cheap person, so I'm trying to do all of this for free.
If I understand correctly, Thunderbird needs to connect to Eternal-September.org, which allows access to Usenet groups like rec.games.pinball. I think I understand that.
Am I setting up an RSS feed or a Newsgroup? I get prompts asking for a URL, and I'm not sure what URL it wants. Things I have tried entering do not get validated.
Any help would be appreciated, or can you just send me the guy's email address that google won't let me see? Google used to allow for this, but must have changed at some point.
Thanks,
Zap
Kerry,
Nevermind! I got it to work finally.
When I went to the list of servers. I had to de-select it, then re-select it, and a pop up window came up asking for my username and password for Eternal-September.org.
Thanks for making the Wiki!
Zap
Kerry,
I do appreciate the assistance! Thanks for taking the time to help.
No response yet on the email I sent to the OP about the machine.
