Got a guy craigslisting an Earthshaker for $600. Says it lights up but doesn't play; been sitting in his garage for several years.

From what I can see, the playfield looks dirty, but not necessarily beat. Cabinet decals aren't too bad either, a little faded.

What kind of potential cash might I be in for to get it working? Is it that big a crap shoot knowing nothing about a non-working pinball machine for $600? I was thinking if it needed a new board, like an Alltek only, might be another couple hundred, if that was all it needed.

Thoughts? and thanks!

Thanks – I will if it hasn't sold already. Waiting for him to respond to my email (he didn't leave a phone number). Add came out about 3 1/2 hours ago. Most craigslist stuff I'm seeing here is around $2500 for that type of pin. Although I don't know how to work on it myself, I can find someone that does, and think it would be worth it to try.

Thanks for the info guys – new to this and just learning about it all. Looked like a good deal, but I got to it too late. I'm sure you're right – it's gone. I'd emailed to tell him I was interested/wanted it, but haven't heard, so assuming sold. Maybe I'll catch the next one...
