I have that $2500 LOTR in my shop right now. Left flipper was dead, the guy replaced the transistor on the board and the coil, didnt fix it, and was stumped so that's why he sold it. The machine was horribly dirty but no playfield damage. The cabinet is in good shape, no lockdown bars, but there is a lot of wear where the artwork has been rubbed off from so many plays.

I already fixed the flipper problem. (He didnt have connection to ground on the new transistor and probably lifted a trace installing it, which I jumpered. His coil was a direct short also, which may have blown the transistor in the first place. Replaced both, fixed soldering, works now).

Anyways, it'll be nice and is going to a friend.

The game is not mine. It's a friend's and he got it to keep it We looked at it together and brought it here for work. It really was an amazing deal.
