I've had m CBW for over 10 years now and it's in great shape. I've probably put more than 1600 games on my machine in the time I've owned it; I'm sure it's seen many more prior to me picking it up. For the most part however, CBW is not popular and it tends to be a very affordable DMD game as a result. I wouldn't expect too much of a premium for it and it's been lonely for so long maybe a public place where it can be played would be a good thing for this one.

Maybe bring it to the York show to show it off?

Quoted from Matesamo:

Something about the use of the cue balls just draws people to it.

The cue ball is one of the things I really like about it. It's a randomizer right in the center of everything. I think it's good compared to so many games (e.g., my T2) that have the great randomizer of pinball (the pop bumpers) surrounded with a bunch of crap that only allows for one exit path. T2 isn't the worst example in that the ball sometimes is pushed through the top lanes and if you pay attention you can use those passes to increase your bonus multiplier. Maybe my BoP is a better example - only one exit from the pops on it as well.

And, you can learn to angle the "pinball to cue ball" hits just like in pool. It's certainly possible to hit the moving cue ball at an angle to push it into the jackpot scoring target.
