Picked up a Diner today for $300. Routed from an Op, but cabinet in really nice shape, translite awesome, CpU working well, plastics, etc. Looks like I've got a Zener diode to replace in HV power supply or the alpha numeric one, haven't even gotten off the truck yet to test that. Worst thing about machine is a rough playfield. Likely want to buy a repro, NOS or used playfield in better shape, but even addressing all that will still be half what machine is worth. Try to get pics up if any are interested this afternoon.

I'm looking forward to cleaning her up and keeping in the collection awhile. However, there's a good chance after I enjoy it for awhile that it might get listed on here one day. Kind of outed what I got it for, but had to brag to someone

Some quick iPhone pics. Really happy with everything but playfield. Looks like someone did a shoddy job tearing mylar off and ripped a lot of paint up in the middle. Hoping between some decals and touch up though, it might be OK. Willing to switch p/fs if I could find one, but man what a job that is...

You definitely got a steal.

Diner is a great system 11 machine.

I doubt mine will ever leave my collection.

Keep the pics coming as you clean her up.

Funny you should mention, I've already shaken hands on a WW as my next machine. Actually shook well before I even knew about this one, but planning to pick up near end of February.

I think it looked a little worse at his place. Once we got it off the truck and situated it looked a little better than first impressions. gave me I'm going to try to clean and go the decal set way followed by a clear coat and it actually might turn out pretty darn nice for a lot less than switching out the p/f which was my first thought.

Nice deal playfield looks like you can work with it and make it a decent players game. I have had two and love the game. My current one I bought out of a warehouse in Las Vegas for $250.00 and it looks GREAT! Of course that was 10 years ago but their are some deals still to be found!

Just figured I'd through a quick update picture here. Here's the current progress on tear down. I'm still cleaning ramps, but p/f has been cleaned thoroughly, touched up in some small spots and re-decaled heavily. All the decals fit perfectly outside of the two big ones -- "Diner" and "People", but they aren't off enough to matter on a player's machine.

I'm replacing all the lamps and rubbers (had to order more...damn rubber kits are never right). New display will be in soon from Marcos as well as new "plasic people" for backbox (they were missing on one side). Once she's completely back together I've got one coil to address and some flashers (though I think the new lamps will remedy some of the flasher issues). Hoping to have her back to 100% within about 10 days if I can find the time. Looks like final cost including price of the machine will be right around $750-800.
