I agree it’s Quicksilver. Silver and black cab. Pink and green bg. You are looking at the left side and can just see the left edge of the coin door.
Quoted from jdoz2:....... looks like a quicksilver to me
3rd that motion. Looks to be a Quicksilver if so that’s some damn good luck!
Quoted from cottonm4:I want ot say Quicksilver. But the black on the cab does not look right to me.
Here is my left side cab.

And my right side.

The back glass is hard to tell. It looks close, but I am not positive.

Yeah. I totally agree. Definitely not a sure thing, but maybe... Whatever it is it will be a fun little adventure.
Looking at it again I think you can see the right side of the coin door. There appears to be a lighter spot that looks like the beehive and the black spot that kinda looks like an arrow pointing to the right just above the right leg.
And I think the machine is at an angle so you are looking across the machine from the right front corner to the left rear corner. That would be consistent with the green on the lower half of the bg and the curvature of the pink at the top where the Stern logo would be.
Do you have the same image but not as zoomed in? Edit: Nevermind, I did my own adjusting.
I dont think it is a Quicksilver.
Quoted from dothedoo:Anybody want to put money on it? I’m 95% sure it’s QS.
What appears to be displays, do not line up with the white orb in the Quicksilver artwork.
I'm not so sure that is even a display in the center, as it doesn't size up to what appears to be a display at the bottom of the headbox.

If not a Quicksilver, then what do you think it is? Just curious if you had another theory or if you are just sure it’s not a Quicksilver.
Quoted from jibmums:Here's a comparison of the relevant areas of the backglass.
Nice work!
Quoted from Krupps4:Most would think you aren’t being serious but you are probably right. I actually considered that before posting.
I am serious. Some guys are ruthless when it comes to pinball. Last year someone posted in the MI forum he had someone that wanted to sell him a WH20. He also said that they were desperate to got it out of the house because they were moving. He couldn't get here for a few days and wondered if anyone could grab it for him. Within an hour some people were spamming CL with "Wanted White Water cash in hand" ads.

I totally get it and agree. I just don’t know how anyone could figure it out.
Oh wait, no ,I have a life.

With the back glass pic caparison, it is looking like you stumbled onto a Quicksilver. I hope it works for you to get it.

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate that. I’m working on it and really love the classic Sterns. Like I said in earlier post, I’ll let everyone know how it turns out.

If you get it, I would like to hear the long story on how you stumbled onto this. Your pic almost make it look like you were playing Peeping Tom 
I'll try not to be jealous 
P.S. you need to add Catacomb to your wishlist.

There’s a guy in town that contacted me with a Catacomb. I tried to buy it from him, but I don’t think he’s really interested in selling. He just wants to dangle it in front on me. However, I’ll be patient with him. You never know.
Quoted from jibmums:Here's a comparison of the relevant areas of the backglass. If it isn't a QS, I don't know what else it could be. Better snatch it up quick!

Thats a good comparison.
I think i was just looking too much into the fact that I can't see the Quicksilver logo where it would typically be, but then again, it is super grainy and is probably just blending in with the red background.
Quoted from cmack750:Stupid question.....but why not just ask the realtor to inquire what the machine is with the homeowner?
Best to ask if it is for sale and play dumb.

Don't show your hand with too much interest. All they need to know is it's in their way and the OP will get that obstructive thing out of their life for good.
So, here’s the update. So close, yet at the same time so far. The pin has been sitting in an unsold house for almost three years. Must have an emotional attachment to it. Anyway, I’ll stay in touch and see if he ever changes his mind. Thanks everyone. On to the next one!
