Hi Pinball lovers.

A year ago I was cleaning my fathers office (Amsterdam - The Netherlands). Here it is where I found a beautiful pinball machine (Evel Knievel EM). I don't have any knowledge about pinball machines. But I was very happy to come across this beautiful piece. When I plugged in the power, the lights and the sounds came on. The machine worked!!!

The machine was only missing it's glass plate.

I brought the machine by a professional pinball restorator. He was pleased to see such a cool EM piece. He cleaned and restored the machine. I Asked to replace the metal back plate for a glass one, so you can see the moving parts. (I also still have the metal plate).

I am wondering what the machine is worth, and if/where I can find any buyers.

The photo's aren't great, because the machine is still at the restorators place for storage. (The photo's are from before restoration). I'll put new photo's online shortly.

With kind regards,

Zev Klinger

Wow . Do you think that's a realistic price?
There is a big difference between 4000 and 10400.

You found the Holy Grail of EM pinball machines. Not working with poor cosmetics it probably would still fetch at least 4K. The Cosmetic aspect is the most important and it looks like yours is very nice. I would say $7K-$9K in our COVID world.

Also have to factor in the cost of swimming lessons back to the US. Deduct another 1k.

I've been offered $10K for mine on several occasions and that was years ago. Mine is fully working and very nice condition and NO it's not for sale.

8-15k US would be my guess. Less if you needed to sell it quickly, more with patience and the right buyer, as with all oddball rare collectibles.

Extremely rare and very sought after.

What a cool piece to inherit, congrats!

Anybody have any idea how many of these are accounted for? According to the placard on the game at silverball Del Ray it’s about 10.

Pinside shows 13 Pinsiders own this pin and 5 public locations that have a EM EK.
I feel it may not be 100% accurate...

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all the information.
I am happy to see this is a special machine. I would have loved to keep it, but as a starting filmmaker in corona times I am happy I have something to sell.

By your answers I made a price estimation of between 7k to 10K (maybe even a bit more).

Today I will put up some new Photo's of the machine.

Is the market place of Inside the best way too sell this machine? Or do you guys have any tips for me?

Kind regards,

Zev
