I have found a star wars 1992 in driving distance of me. The machine is in rough shape (outside cab, translite, and some broke play pieces). The pinball works like it is and the guy has put time into rescuing it from a bar, cleaning and finding a few replacement pieces. He is asking 1899 which is no way in as bad of shape as it is.
Issues,
Cabinet is the worst I have seen besides that it appears to have no cracks in it; it is peeling and paint chipping off every where
Coin mech needs cleaning and painting unless you want it to match the cab lol
Playfield seems in ok shape- wear around drop pits but he installed a protecter on both now that covers some of it.
Ramp has a break by the weld and drop down targets are chipped but still work- he has a replacement ramp and drop downs as replacements that will be included
Translite has burned through spots sue to the bar never turning it off -CoinTaker Super Brite LED kit was installed and new rubbers
Chipped top plastic by death star entrance on boba fett, ig88 but does not interfer with play
2 slingshot plastics were warped from old bulb heat but he repalced with 2 more
Knowing you do not have pictures and it's a bit of a shot in the dark, what is a realistic value here;(keeping in mind he has done some work and the game plays)? Secondly how hard is to find some replacement parts for this if I want to get into good condition? Any suggestions on cabinet graphics or solutions to as bad as it is?
Opinions? For $1900 I don't think its worth it especially for what I would want to change out on it.
Thanks for any suggestions guys star_wars_playfield.jpg starwars_cab.jpg sw_playfield.jpg
