Might put my Embryon up for sale, was hoping for input on the pricing? Everything works, sound board was gone through, rest of the boards are ok, displays are good, backglass had lifting that was taped over, plastics are ok, probem is the playfield is worn to wood in middle & near upper drop bank however the entire playfield was mylared over after it wore to wood so it actually plays fine. Was debating waiting for a donor playfield to surface but now I'm not sure if I want to wait it out. Any input is appreciated!

Quoted from rjsoeps:

well, as you know embryon is a well sougt after pinball machine.
you might regret selling for a low price.
you could considder keeping it, and restoring the pf (look at my pf, it was very bad to.. )
or wait fot cpr to do it in the future.
good luck

Yes that is the debate for me. It is a very cool machine with a lot of neat features that in nice condition would normally be out of my price range. Unfortunately I do not have your impressive skills so I'd be waiting for a donor playfield or if CPR would eventually do them.

Edit: Added some pics, the playfield surface is aesthetically terrible but fully functional so I think people would have to see it to gauge correctly. As I said, any input on the value would be appreciated.

Quoted from meSz:

I seen you were in PA and was but unfortunately without a new playfield/backglass and no one with current plans to reproduce them this one is a tough sell unless you get someone with the skill to restore the current playfield!

We'll see I guess, playfields come up every now & then. This is never going to be a restored museum piece but rather a player. There was a line of people looking to purchase this when I got it but unfortunately the gameplay hasn't grown on me.
