Considering cutting loose my Whirlwind.

I have been told by many who have seen it that it's a very nice example. Apart from a scratch on the head, the cabinet is very nice. Play field is also very nice - just the tiniest (very typical) wear above the spinners. I have a decal to cover it, but its really not that bad so I haven't used it. I purchased a brand new translite for it. It has a brand new plastic set installed, along with pinbits and cliffys.

It works 100%, and I know I'll miss it in June after a long hot day at work when I would deliberately miss the ball-lock shots to keep the topper going.

I brought it in from the States after pestering the previous owner for months to sell it to me, and I'm eating the cost of taxes, gas and the translite at this price. I'm as firm as the Hulk's arms. $2500

I have cellphone pics available on request, and will get more when I finish setting my virus-infested computer back up and can get decent pics off my camera.

Re: Whirlwind

Walt is a great guy, and this is a great pin. We have been friends for over 20 years. We played this pin today, and I had to let "dibs" on this one go.
I have too many pins still, and I just don't have the room to set this one up. Whomever buys this pin, will be pleased with it. It is a nice machine.
Happy sale and happy buyer I am sure.

My autofocus went all wonky on the cab pics. I'll try again later today, but these'll have to do for now.

Re: Whirlwind - some good pics added

I've played this game @ Walt's place a bunch, and it is an excellent example of this title. (they are usually beyond beat) Walt, you know I would be taking this off your hands if I hadn't bought 2 container games... (yes I'll be kicking myself I'm sure)

Deal with confidence on this one.

Re: Whirlwind - some good pics added

I have played this game many times since he bought it last year and it plays great even on 5 BALL and if it had a DMD I would be all over it :lol: Good luck on the sale Walt and buy with confidence guys.

Re: Whirlwind - some good pics added

Thanks gents! I do love it, just time for something else.

It was on Buffalo 5 ball, Mike, but is a standard 3 now. Probably why I can't get GC on it. :)

Why isn't this gone.

I am tempted and it would only go into storage! CPR is releasing a playfield soon too.

Re: Whirlwind - some good pics added

Cause it "sold" once already and then anyone who was interested went out and bought other things :cry:

I would have bought it by now as well, but I just bought 2 other machines so I'm tapped out on money and space (I don't even have room for the 2 machines I bought

Re: Whirlwind - some good pics added

Honestly everyone, Vengeance, Menace and Warlock have all passed on this pin due to other commitments only! All three of us have bought other pins and are already monetarily fully committed. In a few months, any of the 3 of us would buy this back for the same price. Buy it and play it until September. Sell it for the same price to one of us then. I don't want to speak for Adam or Doug, but I guarantee one of us would buy this back in the fall. It is a win/win.

Re: Whirlwind - some good pics added

You know I will assist with so many folded pins curently when the time comes Vengeance.
Sounds like Williams Fan will as well from his recent post. What more can you ask? (WW!)

It will be an awesome destination once it is done Adam.

Re: Whirlwind - some good pics added

I probably shouldn't right now but if Scott is willing to deliver this when he picks up the JM I just might take it.

Brewmanager I'll send you pm sometime today.
