I'm in southern NJ. I'm selling a beautiful Flight 2000 that I restored last year. It's a stunning example and probably the nicest you will ever find, except for the one I restored in 2011. PM me for details and pics, I have over 200 pics. I will ship it NAVL at buyer's expense.
Thanks, Rich

Whether i want to buy or not i have to pretend im interested to see pics? There are a lot of free hosting sites and by all means no one is forcing you to post pics, i just think fellow hobbyists would like to admire. So yes, I think posting pics is good for the hobby, whether one is interested to buy or not.

Thanks Lovef2k - this will be a tremendous help with the project F2K I just picked up. I cannot wait to give it a play, but mice have eaten some wires, some all the way thru. It will be a while...

Absolutely beautiful game. Wish I had the space. Thanks for sharing the pics and good luck with your sale

Did I miss the price? One of those Pinside details

Like the tire and appliance ads; "PRICED TOO LOW TO ADVERTISE".

Sorry guys, I didn't put a price because sometimes it's negotiated or scares people off. I restored one exactly like this in 2011 and sold early 2012 for $6500. That's huge $ for an early stern game. The only difference was that one had a CPR repro pf and chrome side rails. Obviously if you are paying such a premium for a game, you are a collector of high restorations. If you looked at all the pics and explanations I added, you can see that countless hours went into this game. I'm very detai loriented. Heck even the coinbox is restored. So I would be happy with $5K for this machine. And at that price, there's no profit.

Thanks Jeff. I'm also ding a Flash Gordon, should be done in a month or so.

Thanks for the offer, Lovef2k, but at this point, I'm just splicing in from what I have on hand. If I get All the wires that are chewed are on J3 of the Rectifier board. Wonky voltages coming off that sucker, so I'm rebuilding the rectifier this weekend.

Good news is that the cpu booted up in my other classic Stern, so that's one less thing to worry about.

Cheers!!

That F2K is over-the-top beautiful! I really respect your attention to detail.

Chroming the transformer brackets? I love it!!!

Rich probably does the nicest classic stern restorations I have seen. I don't think there is any better. His attention to details is outstanding. Especially the new paperwork he has redone. This stuff is over the top. Looks identical to factory and trust me I know. I have original paper work from 1980 and his stuff is a spot match. Good stuff.

Great job Rich. I would not hesitate to buy a $5k F2k. Hell it is better then most modern games.

Hey thanks Bill and Badbrick! I do my best on these games. Might be some OCD on my part, but it brings out a nice machine. I'm getting close to finishing a Flash Gordon.
