Any estimates on what a good condition bally truck stop goes for?
(Topic ID: 203281)
Fun game. Miss mine. Id get one again in nice shape for 1000-1500. Make sure upper ramp entrance, all 4, are in good shape. Insert wear at lower playfield usually an issue.
I took a chance, drove three hours one way, and added this title about 6 weeks ago.
Very glad I did.
Cool piece of pinball history (first Bally with Williams technology)...good art...and not a bad playing game at all.
Just has to be set up hard to make up for the short ruleset.
Just bough one DOA for $100. Site unseen. Family wanted it out before Saturday for some reason. Going to pick it up tomorrow. Hopefully play field isn’t in bad shape. Hoping to be able to invest $300 or so, cleaning and fixing it up and then flip it. I will post pics if anyone is interested.

So how did it turn out and what did you sell it for?

Turned out great. Sold it for $1500. The picture below is in the basement of the guy I sold it to. Sold him Game Show as well.
Bought TruckStop for $100 and Game Show for $700 Add in another $200 in parts to fix both up. Sold both for $3000. Think he got a great deal on two nice Referb’ed machines.
Second pic is a closeup of playfield after Referb.
I even included the coin door referb I did. I liked the Bally logo on the door and I restored it back. Door closeup doesn’t show it in red, but In the finished pic in his basement you can see it.

I have one (Truck Stop) that I'm redoing now. Unfortunately, the "weigh" spinner is missing. I didn't know that when I bought it. I can't find it anywhere except for one used one in Europe but I haven't been able to communicate with them about buying it. A generic spinner won't work because the wiring is not long enough. I'm still looking.
