might check with syscom or Milt, its supposedly an ok machine but gets very boring very fast. ALot of the machines with a video scren get very boring after playing them alot. You tend to see the same thigns over and over which drags the machine down a bit. I tend to stay away from video screen machines if possible. THe newere one slike Austin Powers and Adams Family have more to them, so i do recommend those!

Here's one in an auction and you'd get the free token deal with it...

nice pic of the machines milt has 3 in scratch and dent for 105 each and im just debating whether the scratches could be fixed and if it is worth it to buy this machine

scratch and dent only gets you 100 tokens and shorter warranty.

i don't know if he would discount shipping on scratch and dent.

If the scratches are in the chrome, let me know if find a way to fix them. I don't know of any. I got a scratch and dent from Valley Gaming (didn't know it at the time of the auction) and I've tried everything short of a new chrome process. I think David tried something similar and it couldn't withstand the heat.

So only buy a scratch and dent if you don't mind the scratches and dents.

Yes, a big caution! I had a Outlaw which is the same case as the Thunder and it CANNOT withstand a dremel for even 10 seconds. I tried very carefully and the 2 mil thickness began to bubble up literally within 10 seconds.

It is plastic chrome. Basically just laminated or vacuum formed. Nothing more than a very fine polish can be used. So any deep scratch is permanent.

If the scratch could be easily fixed, don't you think Milt would fix it and sell the machine at full price? The scratch and dents are scratched and dented, not easily fixed, but if you don't mind a couple of scratches or small dents then go for it.
