PINBALL MACHINES and ARCADE GAMES WANTED TO BUY or trade (WORKING or NOT) from almost ANYWHERE in AUSTRALIA

G'day to fellow pinheads of the free world, I am your host Jeff from SOUTH AUSTRALIA
"NEWSFLASH" click here for YAMAHA GX-1 synthesizer photos/info
This is my latest attempt (finally updated after 7 years) at operating a website in the endless quest to penetrate new markets and find that next elusive pinball machine and/or arcade game ,

also a shameless promotion to display some of the pinball machines and arcade games in my collection, because i regularly run wanted adverts for games its also to show i genuinely collect and restore these things, not just buy them to resell.
Brief history about my pinball collecting life is i first started looking for games in october 1992 and the first pinball i actually put a deposit on was a 1969 gottlieb "MIBS" machine, but the first machine i actually owned and brought home was a pair of games, 1966 gottlieb "CROSSTOWN" and a 1967 williams "APOLLO" (still own all 3 pinballs)
Collection started as a result of trying to buy 1 particular game, a gottlieb BUCKAROO and being told by several pinball sellers that games like that werent around anymore
So bought quite a few games before actually finding a BUCKAROO and bought quite a few more before actually striking a deal to own that BUCKAROO
have fond memories of playing other games (BUCKAROO was first) and collection was already out of control by then so have just kept it going and buy them when i find them (and can afford them)
Most of the games are currently in deep storage but i hope to eventually display photos of everything in the collection once the BIG shed is built, and all the games are setup
heres a couple of photos of my old shed setup

I am also very much into classic arcade/video games as was a teenager playing pinball when video games like ASTEROIDS, SPACE INVADERS, LUNAR LANDER etc came on the scene big time and took over the world
There is another game i have been looking for, and have included some pics in case anyone visiting this site knows of this game stashed away somewhere but may have not otherwise recognized without seeing pictures.
its an 8 player driving game made in the mid 1970s by ATARI and/or KEE GAMES and called SPRINT 8
INDY 800 was the other 8 player driving game i was after but was lucky enough to buy one from the states a few years ago with lots of help from my fellow collectors stateside ( photos of games below were close ups taken straight from the original flyers )
So please note I am willing to ship a SPRINT 8 from just about anywhere in the world so dont be put off by the fact im in AUSTRALIA if your in the USA or somewhere else as have done it before with the INDY 800 as well as other games
However i will arrange for game to be inspected prior to sending any money, so if your a scammer, please dont bother wasting my time.
i have fond memories of playing an 8 player driving game as a kid at a city arcade called "DOWNTOWN" so am mainly looking to buy this game for sentimental reasons.
i have also had lots of people contact me with possible sightings of games and/or parts for 8 player games among other things over the years and your help is always sincerely appreciated
will try and add some newer pics as games slowly come out of storage
thanks and enjoy
