R.I.P. Mata Hari

[pinballpimp]

Indeed SAD and I feel for you!

I've seen this shit happen many times and have had to FIX many cabinet problems that had forklifts go thru them. I personally ship my RESTORED machines in the back of a family van, white glove to their destination  to avoid anything ever happening to my 150 hour restorations. I would cry if I saw something like this happen to one of my machines!

 Yeah, I was upset, but I can't imagine the feeling for you or your customer if one your restos got ruined! My loss was relatively minor!

well, read this again, and originally, I misread this. was the glass the only thing that suffered?
that thing did ship horizontal. horrible method with that tiny pallet.

settle for $200 and buy a glass. bet the seller would be happy to do that. then he can settle with SAIA and normally, they'd be HAPPY to refund 200 bucks. but you wouldn't have to worry about that.

the dagger glass isn't as rare as people talk about.  and who cares? mata hari is a fun Bally.

they probably didn't damage this while forklifting it. from your description, your machine was probably at the end of a staged aisle, and someone made a poor turn and sideswiped it. we'll never know. could have fallen off 4 other trucks and be on it's fifth pallet.

No idea how bad the damage was, driver didn't want everything unwrapped and glass all over his truck. All I know is that a great dagger backglass was ruined. Shay makes the em glass but not the SS version. I actually looked at that before truck arrived, just has a sense bg would get totalled.
