This statement is true. Bob explains that one of Delavigne's laser printers wasn't working and that they "set aside" some money to buy a new one. To "set aside" means to "save" or "reserve". This money was "intended" for the purchase of a new laser printer. Bob then explains that the old printer was not actually broken, so the money "set aside" was then "used" or "spent" on a pinball machine.
