Here is your chance to own a top 10 pin. AC/DC has only gone up in value over the last three years! I purchased this game from a non-pinhead after about a four month chase. This pin was bought with a true 98 plays on it just this summer and had been just sitting down in his basement since he bought it new. He had gotten busy with family and young children and just didn’t play it. There it sat, perfect (glass was a bit dirty, un-played and not updated) so I brought her home. Honestly, I guess I just never got into the game. I’ve put maybe 200 plays on it and I just did the most recent software update 30 days ago and still just can’t get into it. Please take a look at the pictures, you'll be hard pressed to find one out there that hasn't been played. This is about as close as you can get to NIB without the box. Seriously! If you're buying to own for a long time, condition is everything and you must come take a look at this one. There is a scratch on the topper pictured, but you’ll be hard pressed to find anything else.

Here is what is included:

Shoot to Trill Cannon mod,
Rail Road Track mod
Plastic Protectors
Red encased Lighting bolts (with extra bolts)with two extras
Laserriffic Topper with remote control
Cliffy's- installed shooter lane and Jukebox..have rest just not installed -zero damage underneath them when they were installed.

*Helen Package is sold and not included
*Sub-woofer not included

Even If you were to find a heavily played Ac/DC for a few bucks less, you’ll end with one that has been ridden hard and by the time you put some mods on it you’ll end up with less mods at a higher price with 5 times the plays and wear if not more. That’s my sales pitch. Looking for a straight purchase local preferred

Thanks for looking!

Any way that you'd be willing to sell the helen playfield stickers since they can't be used with the machine? Pretty, pretty please?

They can and they look fantastic on the mini playfield I posted some pics in the Helen thread.

OP - just want to throw this out. I HATED my AC/DC for nearly the first 6 months of owning it. Never could get into it and couldn't understand the hype it had and almost sold it a handful of times. Friends talked me out of it each time and I'm glad they did as I really love it now. Wish you the best with your sell but if you are even remotely on the fence give it a couple more months and it may click for you like it did for me.

Ah, so now we know why you sold Spiderman!

Yes just couldn't get into it. Hope you enjoy it, it's a beauty.

Minn. to Mass. and you are saying shipping is killing it for you? On a 7K plus purchase? It is like sales tax...Too stupid to even be mentioning! Commenting, just to see your name in print...Asinine....

Yes 7k plus is already a stretch and tacking another $500 ish for shipping is just too much. I have to draw the line somewhere. Again if this was closer ( meaning shorter distance so driving was an option, for those that may not understand that) I would be sending a PM and speaking to the op in private. Since distance IS a factor I'm just providing a free bump to the top for what looks like a fantastic pin that shouldn't last long , and I will continue my search locally

Dang they do look great on the mini playfield! My mistake. Definitely get those in there!

So I'm on the fence as to keeping the game a while more. I've got to ask, what changed that you ended up liking it so much now? I have less than 20 games since the software and maybe I haven't given it a fair chance. I was going to drop it one more time, but I'm thinking I can play it a bunch or at least try to get into it a bit more and get the same money later or more either way.

Has any one else not enjoyed a pin initially and ended up loving it much later(software updates excluded)

I did not like my acdc for the first few months. It was just draining on me and I was not hitting my shots to build my jackpots to cash in. Then one day things seemed to start clicking. My shots came together and I started to really hit the bell shots for 2x and 3x scoring. I played all the songs for variety of gameplay and started to really enjoy the tough shots that some of them have. I started to put off jackpots or at least made sure to get 2x scoring once I cashed them in. Risk = Reward!

What really got me hooked is the time I had multiball going and I loaded the cannon for a jackpot and just happened to cradle the other two balls at the same time, one on each flipper. Since I had no free hand to hit the fire button I thought quick and leaned down to hit the fire button with my chin for a 40 million point jackpot! I have since made that same shot one more time and have not missed yet.

Acdc is a tough game. Dont give up on it to quickly. It will click for you and once you get rolling on it you will understand why it is such a great game. If you give it a few more months you should be able to get the same amount of money you could get today anyway, so fwhy not give it one more shot? I was glad I did. Good luck.

You're right, if it doesn't go well I can sell it later for the same money. Hearing the same thing from two people is what I needed. Honestly figured if I wasn't into the game after a few months I never will be. I went through so much trouble to get the perfect condition game in my basement and picking out the right mods it would be a shame to sell it without giving it one more try. I'm going to mark it pending, sleep on it and likely take it off the market tomorrow a give it another go..Thanks for the advise

This is one of my all time favorite pins, I've had mine since Thanksgiving. I think you're making a good move holding off for a bit. The price you're asking for you'll have no problem unloading this beauty.

ACDC pinball seems like a nice machine.
