For sale is a Gottlieb Arena pinball machine. Machine is in excellent condition and has just been gone through. LED's have been added to the playfield and underside. I also added general illumination LED's to the "PIT" and other areas in the main playfield for added lighting. This added a cool effect to the "PIT" as there were no GI lighting in this area. Machine playfield was completely stripped, cleaned all parts and replaced any defective parts and/or machinery, waxed and reinstalled. Added stronger posts in-front of the ramp. Playfield art work is in excellent condition as sometimes this title it can be warn badly. I purchased new two lighted bridge ramp rails for the cross over ramp. The ones installed are is good condition with all lights working, but bought a new set just in case. Can install if you want. The cabinet is in good condition with minor bumps/scraps, but overall good to excellent condition. This title does not come up for sale very often and one that I feel in this great of condition. I am asking a higher price than normal due to the condition and upgrades I have done to this machine. If you are looking for this title to add to your collection look no further, you will not be disappointed. I am open to reasonable offers. Call Mike @ ###-###-#### [phone number removed] cell#

I am sorry that some of you pinball price police think I am way over priced, but do you yourself refurbish/restore pinball machines to a pristine condition? I have been restoring machines for over 15 years. I take great care in the process to give the machines I do to a new like condition before I sell. This machine was in great condition before I started the process and turned out excellent. This title was hard to speculate value due to that very few have been sold over the last two to three years and one that is in excellent condition. I have been watching/tracking this so I could value a price when it was finished. The playfield is in excellent condition with very little to no ware. This appears to be hard to find on this title as most Arena pinball machines I have seen the playfield has ware and/or is damage which appears to be common. I went to the extent of adding GI factory style lamp sockets to the pit as there was no GI lighting for this small playfield. It turned out great! I also added some extra GI lighting to the main playfield in dark areas. When I do this I like to do it in a way like it was factory done. Also I added newer (stronger style) posts in front of the ramp on both sides. Overall the condition of this machine is in excellent. I guess if there were more sells on this title I would have a better idea of where to start my price at.

This title is not like most of the 90's Bally/William machines to be able to gauge prices. The Twilight Zone prices are all over the board, starting low around $6,000 to as high as $10,000+. This again is based off condition and how the machine was restored.

Lastly, I decided to start out at a higher price as most pinball purchasers like to negotiate and I figure I can always drop the price if a person is truly interested.
Thanks for reading this.....Mike
