I'm going to look at these two machines in about an hour to make an offer. I'm familiar with the WPC95 games but the Data East machine is new to me. Any advice on what to look for as far as common issues? Both have been home use only for at least 5 years. He's a buddy I have known for 20 years but he knows nothing about his own machines.

R&B: Check to see if the original Launch button housing is intact. Make sure the hat trick system in the back box is intact with all three plates (although these can be easily replaced now at Marco). Check to make sure the Nell log table has all the parts (motor can at least be replaced, but you still need the large plastic gear and pully wheel).

Beyond that, look for typical wear & tear that might devalue the machine like broken plastics, especially the lower lane guard rails. Those are often in sad shape on used machine, and you can't replace the original design of them (though newer ones by Stern are still made and work in place of them).

Lastly, make DAMNED sure the plastic ramps are in good working order. Those are almost impossible to replace. Once in a great while, one or two ramps will show up, but it takes about once a year, and some people know this and try to charge a ridiculous amount like $500 for them. I got lucky in that I found a pristine NOS full set for 50 bucks each in Norway, but that's obviously the exception to the norm.

Haha! Point taken.

FirebrandX Thanks so much for the info! I will do my best. I've had plenty of SS games from the 80s and I have an AFM but the data east stuff is new to me.

Both machines looked great! The No Fear was just about perfect except I think it has a bad opto on the right flipper. it was intermittent and the eos and coil *looked* fine. The R&B was in great condition, dirty playfield, minor cab and backbox damage, ramps and plastics near perfect, hat trick cards all worked and there was even an extra 2 new cards and a broken lion card in the cabinet. It also has a topper! I made him an offer. I'll call him tomorrow and see if I can go pick them up if the weather cooperates.

Take photographs of the playfield if you get a chance and I can point out anything of note.
