That link has everything about the machine on it. There are different tabs up top to see thousands of posts, fixing tips, ratings, details on parts etc. Pinside is THE pinball forum, nothing else comes close.

A solid players Whirlwind is +/- $3000. Post a pic of the one you're buying and I'll 'Price Police' it for ya.  :wave:

Here is a picture :yes:
(The Covering isn’t original)


I also have one problem: When I bought it, all parts worked.
Than i folded the headport towards the main body. (Transportreasons)
But if I built up the hole machine at home and switched it on, The Displays suddenly showed nothing.


What could be the reason? :EmoticonHelp4:
Can anybody help me?

You got that for a steal I take it? That will be very hard to sell with that odd cabinet. $1000?

You will have to check all harnesses ect in the back box and see if all is connected. Do any connecting back when the machine is off.
