Item description
Professionally reconditioned 1980 Alien Poker pinball machine by Williams all the bulbs have been upgraded to LEDs.
The playfield has been completely gone through and every piece has been removed, cleaned, and touched up (if necessary). Absolutely everything on this machine has been inspected meticulously and then rechecked to ensure quality and durability. This machine plays awesome and will continue to for many years!
The original cabinet with original side art is in excellent condition; it has an original backglass in very good condition (see photos for close-ups); the original playfield has been touched up and meticulously cleaned and waxed; the flippers have been rebuilt; the rubbers are new; the original plastics are in very nice shape!
Local pickup is available (my zip code is 91320) or you can make arrangements to have it picked up. The pinball machine can be moved very easily - no stairs. I don't mind storing it (FREE) for a few weeks if you need to make shipping arrangements!
I am readily available to ship it by any means you prefer and will facilitate in any way I can. I can even help your shipper disassemble and load it.
I've used uship.com (easy and free to post ads with no commitment required) and found that if you post with a couple weeks lead time you'll get very good bids for transport and that the shippers take very good care of the items they ship. Make sure you explicitly state that you want them to ship a pinball machine and that they need to remove the legs and the head and blanket wrap (shrink wrap) for transport; as long as it's written in your ad they will bid it correctly and do it well!
I have a shipper I've used many times to deliver pinball machines for me in his Prius! I know crazy, but he's got it down to a science. He'll deliver anywhere in North America, he has an adventurous spirit and loves to drive around on the open road. Just let me know and I can put you in touch with him.
At first, I was very hesitant to purchase pinball machines, because I felt overwhelmed by the notion of arranging shipment. I was scared that something would go wrong with either the shipper or the buyer at pickup. But after several purchases, I've discovered that it's easier than picking it up myself. So I use a shipper even if I purchase a pinball machine close to home. Local movers will charge about $100 and send out a couple of guys on short notice with a huge truck and liftgate and deliver within 10 miles or so with no issues. While long-haul shipping companies will charge around $500 to ship it across the country.
So if you want this pinball machine in your home, buy it (Cash, Venmo, or PayPal) and I will try my best to help make it as smooth as possible for you.
Here are the specs:
The entire pinball machine with the head weighs about 250lbs.
The pinball cabinet is 51.5in x 22in x 19in
The head is 30.5in x 27.5in x 11in
The legs are removable, but if the legs and the head are not removed the pinball machine is about 70 inches at its tallest point.
