I'm going to look at a Bally Elektra. Great condition in the pics.

What is this pin worth?

THanks

$1500 - 2000
The upper playfield is usually has the most wear.

Cool game with lots of rules and difficult to get multiball.

Agree.

I think 1800 gets a decent one.

Cool pin.

Thank you.

A visual inspection confirms a bit of wear and some planking on the upper play field.

Lights up. Will not credit a game. Many lights not working.

Cab is solid with some planking. Needs some Pinball Pimp stencil work.

Back glass: I can see no evidence of flaking or cracking. Looks mint.

Coin door in great shape.

Has the keys.

sounds like a project. work your negotiation skills.
I would shoot for $1000 or less with that description.

I would expect fully working with minimal wear for top dollar.

It is selling at an auction . It is not on my list of keepers.

I have a friend who is a pinballer who was at the auction. We both looked at and talked about the Elektra. I did not want to get in a bidding war with Dan so I said, " you bid on it and if you get it bought we can flip for it".

There were only two others bidders for the pin. Dan got it bought for $300.00. And then I lost the coin toss.

The keys were there so we opened up the back box and there was an early model Alltek MPU with batteries installed. The MPU looks great and as Dan said, he can send that one in to Alltek and will be sent a new one in return. So, basically he got this pin for $100.00.

Thanks to all of you who advised me on pricing.

So close! One of my least favorite classic bally's though, so not a big lose.

Yes. I played one at TPF 2-3 years ago. It did not make my grail list.

And the positive side is I will not be able to flip it and therefore my reputation will remain intact
