Geocache Description:


I'm a Pinball Wizard there has to be a cache..

The above co-ordinates are for the starting point only, this is NOT where the cache is hidden.
Please DO NOT take any photos of the final location or give away any clues, tips or spoilers in the logs, so others have fun solving the puzzle.



Some facts and information.
Being a pinball fan and growing up in that era, this is a cache for those pinball fans out there.

There are additional items in the cache that are NOT for trade, so please leave these where they are, its purely to theme the cache, but they are parts from a real pinball table.

You will need to solve this puzzle to locate the actual cache, I plan to do some more 'Pinball' themed ones in the near future.
The cache itself is a small clip-lock container, which has room for the small log book, pencil, the small non-tradeable items, trackables and other small items. It would be great if you can add other pinball key-rings or pinball related things

Question:
The exact date Williams announced the closing of the pinball division:  
AB/CD/EF

(The date is in DD/MM/YY format)
You can get this information by researching the web.

N 5C° DE.(B-C)(F-B)(6+D)
E 000° 5(A+C).(B-C)(B+C)B



Good luck to all!!!

Cache location is fairly busy, so please be careful, use stealth and make sure its re-hidden properly!
There are several ways to get to the cache location by public footpaths, you DO NOT need to cross fences, hedges or any form of residential property. When you get near the cache, your GPS or Geocache application, may try and take you a way to it that is not passable.
Remember: Stay on footpaths, there are 3 ways to the cache using normal public paths.

The cache at date of hide (14/09/2012), had non-swappable items, log book, pencil, FTF Keyring and a TB.

Congrats to BigJam and JustB4U for the FTF!!
