[QUOTE="SpiffyRob, post: 84895, member: 450"] My 30th birthday was back in April, and my wife really wanted to do something special for me, so she contacted my friends and family and had them all chip in some cash to go towards a table: [IMG]http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/oy1n7dldemvlt0p/2013-04-16%2019.33.30.jpg[/IMG] This money, combined with some of my own, allowed me to purchase my first table: WWF Royal Rumble! [IMG]http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/rxbqt55zyww4t1r/2013-06-22%2010.30.22%20%281%29.jpg[/IMG] The table is in incredible condition. Only a few nicks on the cabinet, and the playfield and backglass are nearly flawless. There's a tiny bit of wear around the Start Mode holes, but I've got Cliffys on the way to cover/protect them. Most of the bulbs have been replaced with LEDs.
