'CYCLONE' PINBALL MACHINE FOR SALE

This Pinball Machine is made by the well-known pinball manufacturer 'Williams' and dates back to 1988. 

This Pinball is an amazing piece of artwork featuring Nancy and Ronald Reagan (a former US president) in the front seats of the roller coaster car on the backglass (score board), with Nancy sporting a 'say no to drugs' t-shirt. 

The Cyclone with its dual ramps and large jackpot skill-shot, it is still considered one of the classic pinball machines of all time.

It has been in my family for 10 years, my father purchased the machine from a jukebox fair due to it being rare as we were told it was the first pinball machine to have a moving ferris wheel.

Machine has previously been in full working order, and at present it powers up, lights are working - including digital scoreboard and the machine sounds are active.  Machine has various marks from wear and usage due to age.  As the years have gone by (and as we are not mechanically minded) the following known faults have arisen:

* Neither flippers are working

* Bumpers are not working

* Ball launching not responding

We have been informed by a professional that the above faults could be purely due to fuses needing replacing or solenoids (we do have spares).
