thanks, guys. i got this in a trade. the only system 11 i've ever owned. most i don't look twice at. cabinets and playfields are usually horrible. this was too nice to pass up, however.

i believe i was told it was found in a ladies basement. it was played dirty, hence the playfield wear. needed shopped, which i enjoy doing. i love seeing the transformation. had it basically down to the wood. cleaned it up nice.

it has all or most of the original paperwork. inside cabinet looks great. i don't think it has a ton of miles on it. flippers were strong day one. just replaced cracked bats. again, not like the usual system 11 disasters i see.

Diner seems to be kind of a funny (or odd) machine when it comes to selling them. It seems like everyone is looking for one and they are hard to find until you have one for sale - then it seems to take forever to find a local buyer.

We had a nice one for sale last year and it took me several tire kickers before I actually found a buyer. The crazy thing is ours was fairly nice overall yet the buyer bought it to fully restore it?

In any event - at your price you will find a buyer but it might not happen as quickly as you would expect.

i agree. i think because of the low production run you don't see them everywhere, so the title doesn't get a lot of publicity. plus, it's a mark ritchie pin, and he's one of those cult-following, under-the-radar designers. you can't argue with IJ, FT or Taxi, however. i highly recommend having a mark ritchie in your collection.
