You'll be lucky if someone local will want to take this on for $600, but shipping? That made me LOL...

People always complain that the project games have all dried up, but here you go! Backglass ($269) and plastic set ($159) are available from CPR. Unfortunately CPR doesn’t seem to offer a repro playfield anymore so you’d have find one on the market or go with Mirco (€987 for the set, read up as he’s had clear and alignment problems in the past) or a hardtop ($375 shipped from Outside Edge, assuming the playfield’s flat enough to work with after sanding). 28.5” Bally legs were $20/each at Mirco (but out of stock). And then there’s the lockdown bar ($75?), transformer (sounds like there were various designs depending on early/late run game), plus board work to deal with the battery leak fallout.

Of course you could save money by just working with the existing playfield, which might look ok after cleanup.

If a Pinsider buys it I hope they’ll do a before/after thread, it’s always fun to see what talented people can do with a project game.

Idk where else youre finding projects to compare this price to, but send them my way please

Whomever buys this machine, I want the ROM chips out of it. Those are marked Rev 2, which I have never seen before. I've only found Rev 3 and Rev 4 in the wild, and had a fleeting hint of Rev 1. (OR can I just buy the ROM chips?)

Also, are you SURE the transformer is missing? This is a very early production game, with the System 6 style power supply. There is a transformer cage in the head, as this variation had the transformer up there instead of in the cabinet.

Good project for a classic game GLWTS

You can see the cage in the first pic, but hard to tell what (if anything) is in there.

I thought about it, since it's close enough shipping isn't that bad, but BK are abundant, and I already had this title and didn't care for it - but it's a perfect pin for restoration. At a great price.

Batteries have leaked, but doesn't look like they've damaged the board below which is nice.

Using my wife's IPad I can see there is infact a transformer in the cage.
This BK is a good project for someone local.

Track 45 degrees right. Stop. Center and stop.

Offer a game for $60,000, they bitch

offer a game for $600, they bitch

I'm not sure there's anybody on this planet harder to please than a pinball price cop!

Wrong, I found it humorous to offer shipping for this. Shipping would put this well over $1000.

And I found it humorous you felt you had to point that out.

We are all having some laughs today!

You criticizing a superfluous post, now that's humorous!

No, we're bitching because they're offering half of a game for $600.
