Sorry, but you didn't ask a question.

Also, a more descriptive subject might be more likely to draw in people who are able to help.

No problem.

I really don't like Road Kings at all, but I know that some people really seem to enjoy it in a completely non-ironic way.

I think Panthera is actually some amount of fun.

I've never played Hard Bodies. Depending on what's wrong with it and the condition of the boards, this one might be the winner in this group.

I'd be wary about the not working condition on all these, and assume the worst when factoring in what, if anything, I'd offer for them.

His prices seem a bit high for non working machines and a quick look at his descriptions and he seems like a d!<k.
I really hate people that put the word "Firm" ever and or reference other crazy price sales. There was a fully working nice Road Kings by me that was 400-700 for a long.... time. Could be something easy as a fuse is also a duchebag comment. Looks like he is pricing by looks as well. You bought as project and now no time, well then take what you can get and or entertain offers. This guy then threatens to part out. Well fine, then everyone else gets a boost in price as now harder to come by. Oh, but he won't really do that he is to lazy he will just put in storage and pay monthly fees to store his mistakes. LOL

I don't know the games other than Panthera and it is a really good drop target game with memory drops. Good if you like drops, very traditional old school pinball.

RDM, I've just brought a Road Kings as a project but being new to pinball, machine had to have boards and electronics in okay shape. I paid $1600 aud, needs some play field repairs and cabinet work. I think it's a great machine to practice my repairs on before trying on my dearer pins. Game play is simple but fun. Game for the whole family.
I'm one of those people who is not afraid to say I like RK, it might be rated low here but rating are only a guide for me. I am also getting a Wipeout tomorrow so once again poorly rated machine so picking it up for $1200 aud with 100% working just some play field ware which can be easily fixed.
If your not comfortable working on machines you really need to chech out what the issues are with these pins as there are projects which can be fixed and those which will always be a project....if you know what parts you need and there availability, it's a good start.

Hardbody never gets any love lol. It's a fun machine, but $450 is high for non working condition.

Well even if you wanted to buy these games good luck. I emailed him asking if I can come look at the Road Kings on Wednesday and still haven't heard back. Funny the guy puts games up for sale and doesn't respond to potential buyers.

I am the same way, I have a Millionaire that i got doing a trade with a friend and i thought it would be horrid. Well it really is a fun machine with very nice two ball flow. If I remember right Wipeout is Gottlieb "ski theme" with ball chair lift. I like the art on RK and Wipeout. Millionaire not so much.

Yes wipeout is a Gottlieb. I have only been collecting for 8 months and will now have a pin from Bally(TZ), Stern(Met DD), Williams(RK) and Gottlieb(wipeout). Gives great variation in game play Rather than having all from just one manufacturer......that's my strategy moving forward. Homepin Thunderbirds due mid 2015. Would like to get a JJP but the 10K + hear in Oz means I will prob wait a couple of years and see if a decent priced one comes up for sale.

yeah it makes shopping so much more fun as well. AHRG

WHAT??????

I hate Road Kings. Its a horribly boring game! That said, Hardbody looks very interesting and although the art and theme kinda suck, it looks like a pretty fun game with lots to do!

Road Kings is a decent game if you take it at face value for what it is......granted, its no mid-90s DMD....an early system 11 game..mad max motorcycle theme...the last Williams pinball with the classic four pop bumper in top center of playfield....had evolutionary sound at the time it was produced...couple of ramp shots....if you play it, "you'll be back, jack!"

Just came across this thread, I ended up buying all three machines from this guy. He cut me a deal on all three and I didnt think twice to take them. It doesnt seem that project pins come up very often here, and pins in general seem higher priced here.

I started with Panthera because I already know system 80 and it needed barely anything, replaced the cpu daughter board with a new one from Great Plains ($16) and its solid. I'm going through RK now and the game boots and plays. Theres a switch matrix issue and I need to rebuild the high voltage supply for displays, but nothing yet that makes me curse buying it. I'm interested to see how Hard Bodies will go.. while the artwork and theme are cheezy it seems to be pretty feature rich.
