I found a BOP that is in player condition. Non-Diamond Plate, very dirty, 4 broken switches, has the sound will not turn down issue, matching boards and batteries are in good condition. A few large scuffs on the outside paint from moving. Everything is there as far as keys, locks, etc. Nothing serious for problems and it plays as is, mostly just a lot of TLC with a complete tear down and rebuild to clean with some new parts and fixing broken switches/lights. Southern California Market. Wondering if you would pay more than $1000 for this project?

Thank you everyone for the advice and votes. I thought it might be a pretty good deal and you guys confirmed it for me. I got it for an even $1000 and it was less than 5 mins from my home. It came with the original operations manual and all the original paperwork from the factory, except the bill of sale. Would love to know what it cost new! It was previously in an arcade in Illinois per the revenue stamps on it. Looks like it was probably owned by John's Vending & Games which shows an address in Highland, IL. It was purchased from there and brought to California several years ago. The guy I got it from took it in trade for A/C work on that guys house and had it for only 3 days. So I am the fourth owner. I knocked some dirt and grime off of it and it actually cleaned up pretty darn nice. Only one broken plastic edge on a ramp. Playfield is pretty decent for being non-diamond plate. It should turn out pretty nice when I get it all cleaned up. Thanks again, its great having good people to rely on here. 4by

The one rigged thing I found on this machine is that they rigged the speakers with speaker wire and wired it to a volume control. I think there is a problem somewhere in the board or ?? that causes the sound to be very loud. Even with the new sound control turned all the way down, and the volume on the machine down. It does only go 1/2 way down though on the volume that is adjusted with the test button. That is when I turn it down as far as I can, there are still 1/2 of the bars shown on the screen. Are you saying there is another way to adjust it lower in one of the menus?

The pics below show 2 speaker wires on the top board speaker, one wire runs to the tweeter, and one runs to the volume control--nothing has been changed on the woofer. I am not sure what or why it is that way. Thinking I should just cut it out and see where it leaves me and fix whatever comes up.
