    Default another E.T.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=013

    Probably saw Rik1138's machine sell, and decided to sell theirs too. Playfield is a lot dirtier than Rik's, and they stole his photo of the back side! For shame, photo thief!

    PS - THEY EVEN STOLE RIK1138's ITEM DESCRIPTION! CUT & PASTE WORD-FOR-WORD!

    Rik1138's (now ended) auction for reference:

    It really annoys me when people do that sort of thing..

    Take the time to write your own listing...

    I think I would make a complaint if someone stole my pics
    and write-up...

    although I doubt mine are ever worth stealing...

    I advised the seller last night to change the description and remove my picture by noon today or I'd report it to eBay for copyright theft...

    It was revised at 12:08 while I was on hold with eBay...

    Gotta give him a point for timing...
    Pachinkos:

    Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Lassen World & Maharaja also (working on the graphics...)

    I wrote a message to him last night, and he just replied:

    "Dear atarigalaxy,

    You stole pictures from rik1138's auction, and EVEN STOLE HIS ITEM DESCRIPTION! SHAME ON YOU!!!"


    Shame on my wife.

    The Playfield that is shown (the dirty one) is that the kind of stuff that can be cleaned up with the Arby Cell Polisher? I notice that kind of "pattern" around the pins with my Star Wars and LOTR. Does the Pica Polisher remove that?

    YES! That's exactly what the Pica cell cleaner was meant to do... All those circles are totally gone on all my machines now, thanks to the Pica cell cleaner from Arby. The playfields look like they've been waxed and polished. Pins are shiny too... I just wish I had more machines to clean now!

    I hear the LA gang typing up PM's inviting me over...
