AFM fs: $5000 NYC SOLD

Attack From Mars that needs lots of love. Boots up fine, plays. Inserts have serious clearcoat wear issues, hole is gaping, cab is faded. Answers to "Lucky."

On the plus side, comes with a manual! And it's an AFM.

Original intention was to patch this up as a player but someone else here may want to do better things with it.

Game is located in NYC zip 10001, shipping is possible via NAVL.

Have space issues so not interested in 2 for 1 trades but 1 for 1 or 1 + cash may be possible.

It's not the pride of the fleet but it's still an AFM so any proposed trades keep in the WPC universe please.

Everyone loves AFM. I Love AFM.

But who could love this AFM? It's own mother? Even she turned her back on this ugly duckling. It has endured many long nights at the pinball orphanage, weeping itself to sleep every night, shunned by even the rusty old No Fear in a Giligan's Island cab in the corner.

It's a sad tale, but one that may yet have a happy ending, for a buyer with the determination to take this base game and bring it to fully restored heights, and for a seller who wants nothing more than a whole lot of cash.

Maybe it's the cold medicine talking, but the anticipation is taking me to strange, dizzying places.

Now that's completely unfair. What's wrong with the coin door that some paint couldn't fix?

Wonder if this was at a pool? Looks like in addition to the fade that type of insert damage had to be from the sun. It's a good base game though. For someone wanting a full restore (new playfield, decals, parts, etc.) their might need to be a little wiggle room price wise in this market, but if you just scraped and put down some laser cut insert decals and patched the scoop hole and did a "lite restore" could have a decent player's game under $5500k. Buddy's AFM sold at auction in Winston last month for $6800. It was BEAUTIFUL, no fade, new micro playfield, ship mod, full LEDs.

Not to be that guy, but paint wont cover up the fact the door is rusted and would need to be totally stripped and refinished, Also there appears to be A LOT of rust in the stroke of luck VUK. Also the fact it is garage kept next to a 'rusty' No Fear and the potential for under lying problems is there. Shots of the inside of the cabinet may help your cause.

That was a joke.

It wasn't ACTUALLY in a pinball orphanage where it cried nightly.

Pinball machines can't cry.

I don't actually know anything about the history of this game - emotional or otherwise - except that it's fresh off route, and that's the only thing fresh about it.

This machine needs a lot more than you have listed above. The inserts are not going to be fixed for $100. And with this many cosmetic and rust issues, there will be other issues to work through.

Man, $5k? I wouldn't say this this until now, but seemed overpriced for its condition in the current climate. I know AFM still holds people's attention, but I wonder what it goes for if AFMr is made/priced at $6k.

Then again, I doubt it sold for $5k.
