Have a chance to buy this. Been shopped out and looks great, Back glass & playfield very good. New rubbers, playfield cleaned and waxed. Due to surgery hasn't been able to finish it. Only issue. The 2 kick outs are not working. Price... $350.00 Good deal for this EM? Would only be my second pin so not much experience in all this.

Thanks Crazy for the reply. Opinions are what I'm looking for. I have room for 7 - 8 pins. Been looking for an inexpensive EM is all. Something to learn on as far as repairs go and enjoy to play also. Also have a chance at a 1970 Gottlieb Jumping Jack, that works but rubbers are shot and needs to be completely shopped for 300.00 which I thought was high.
Here's the link to it.. What you think?

This is the rock n roll that is for sale.

Quoted from EM-PINMAN:I love Williams games for the most part but I am not a fan of just AAB games as I grew up with Replay versions. I would pass on the Williams and grab that Gottlieb Jumping Jack instead if it is in good shape and that cheap.
Just my 2 cents.

Thanks Ken I appreciate your response. I grew up with the replay versions also. The Jumping Jack looks like it has sat and sat. He says it does play though just missing a few rubbers. Even though it is working, looks like it needs a lot of cleaning. Also back glass looks wasted. Did you see the CL link to it? lansing.craigslist.org link
Quoted from EM-PINMAN:I did look at the Williams ad and the machine is in nice shape. I used to own a Williams Stardust so the Rock n Roll Playfield layout is pretty similar and is fun. That left side just kills you for losing balls just like Bally's Eight Ball. I liked the Stardust Center Spinner better as you controlled what you earned as opposed to a random spinner like Rock N Roll. I like single players as opposed to Multiplayers better so that is a plus in your court.
If you could pickup the Rock N Roll for $250.00 I would grab it as it is in good shape and can fill in your collection until you get tired of it or run out of room and sell it for what you got it for easily.

Sorry Ken, meant to send you the Jumping Jack link. I just got the guy to send me close up pics. Jumping Jack playfield is in real nice shape but the back glass is trash, really trash! Probably 40 % paint is gone and rest is wrinkled to pieces. Was told it was hard to fine and a repro is 300.00 He won't come off his 300.00 price on the Jumping Jack
As far as collection? lol I'm just starting and have only one pin. 1980 Firepower and room for at least 6 more.
