From my experience it is tough to get more than a couple hundred out of a nice Playmatic even if it is working 100%. It is really a shame because some of them are pretty decent machines and the playfields are normally super nice. They just don't bring any money for some reason?
Did they put some sort of coating on the playfields like the Sonic machines? The field on this thing looks like it will clean up without a lick of wear. And yes, I agree... this is a neat looking game that won't go for much. It actually has slot machine reels in the backbox.
I don't know what they used for a finish on their playfields but I have never seen one with any wear or planking. I have owned several Playmatic machines and most of the time the cabinets are the worst part of those machines. Backglasses are normally very nice & playfields are always super nice but since cabinets are not all plywood they seem to always be beat up.
When it comes to working on Playmatics I have never found them all that hard to work on but parts are tough to find.
Anyway - Good Luck with your sale and have a Safe & Happy New Year!
