Just trying to figure out what numbericals out of 10 this is generally so when other people say numbers i.e. 8/10, I know what to compare it to.

Are you asking about the lights on the playfield?

Follow up question, what is a players machine? Just one rough around the edges and how would that compare?

Beelzeboob I understand where you are coming from though. There is some wear and knicks here and there. being that this game is 40 years old and if this playfield is a 6, what would be the difference between an 8.5 and a 10 is how I look at it / what is a standard 8 on a 40 year old used machine? And then what is the 9 and up? Someone who bought it brand new and ran the ball down it 15 times and then let it sit for 39 years?

Yeah I think the idea for general picture table would be sweet.

That's the thing I think it's tough, do you rate it based on the current state of the average game left out there, or based off when it was brand new? If so, if you do any touch ups depending on who you are, it can't be a 10 anymore.

That being said and trying not to be biased since it is mine, I think it's around a 7 not using history, and then 8 if taking into consideration history. I was thinking about reaching out and seeing if I could get on the active C37 playfield remake Wade K is doing and just keeping it until the day comes that I want to update backglass.

So are all pins under 3-5 years old over 8 then? Because I don't think they are going to be very worn or have any sort of major issue in general (yes I know you will have the ones that have been hammered but disregard those outliers).

Quoted from Electrocute:

Some sellers only mention the negative things about their machines( I love those types), and others try to give you false impressions on how awesome their machine is(avoid them).
My rule is to buy a good title in decent condition at a fair price and get it looking like I want it to. Seems like that's what your are doing. If you can wait, Wade should have that title out in about 2 years. Just a guess.

What would take so long? I don't really know the process.

Yeah I mean more towards what takes so long to make them rather than the whole being where it is in the queue
