Do the words in this auction match the pictures?

I'm trying to understand if this is a truthful auction or not. The pf
looks horrible for being clearcoated and waxed (or is it bad pictures
or a bad clearcoat job?). And one line says: "The cabinet was
thoroughly cleaned and the insides was repainted and looks great." It
looks to me like mold is growing in there.

Anyone catch the extra 1/4" screw laying in the bottom of the cabinet?
Man look at the scracthes on the coin door, around the red coin reject
push buttons. Im sorry but this is no treasurecove recondition. The guy
needs to keep on trying. No way for $4500!!!

someone should tell him to put down the photoshop-crack-pipe and stop
pushing his pictures way past where they look good.

if the restoration is done with anywhere near the lack of skill of the
photoshop job on the images i would be really very scared

impossible for me to tell if it's dust on the pf, airbubbles in the
clearcoat or noise in the picture that has been pushed way too far

Not a bad word about the person himself, maybe he tried real hard, but
I really think people doubt, unless he posted some good quality
pictures.
Has a 100 % positive feedback though, real name from seller is Bob
Antelman.
Do a search on RGP and notice that he's not a bad guy.

The pics do seem to indicate a less than stellar clearcoat job but they
may be odd reflections of something. He is starting the game out too
high though.

in his description he states he likes to give fair prices. Had a good
laugh about that one. There isn't a TZ out there worth $4500.

The ramp starts off with no sticker in early pictures and then has a sticker
later ?? WHats up with that . . .??

Voltage number starts with a 2. Must be a reimport

The inside bottom of that cabinet looks rough. I'd probably agree with your
thoughts on the playfield as well. Especially for a $4500 bill.

The coin door is tell-tale that its a re-import too, not that it matters
much if at all....
