Quoted from CollinT:Hi,
This is my first thread. Saw this Rescue 911 pin show up on Craigslist this morning, the price was $1000. After contacting them, they said it's now $1,250 and it was a mistake..
Anyway, after they told me the price was raised, I told them not interested.
Looking at the pics, the playfield looks pretty bad around the flippers. Would this have been a decent deal around $1K if it was working properly? Haven't played this machine before, but the reviews make it seem decent
thanks

Welcome to the site. First, good move on not getting too attached to this game. I personally think Rescue 911 is a turd of a game, and the one you showed is an absolute no-go with that wear. To each their own, Rescue 911 looks ok with some cool gimmicks, but I think the layout is boring as anything and think there are much better Gottlieb's made.
If you're looking at spending around $1000 for a game to complement your Mousin', I'd recommend going with a slightly older Bally/Williams which may not have helicopters flying around and whatnot, but will have much better gameplay and feel more like Mousin'. Depending on condition, you can sometimes find a local Firepower, Cyclone, Space Shuttle, Blackout, or Sorcerer which will provide much more fun IMO and shouldn't break the bank.
