Nice color on the cab. Decals or original silk screen?

You are breaking down the time expander? Make sure it is level when you reinstall, otherwise it becomes a rather irritating issue.
Great and unique game with one of the best toys ever in pinball. I'm really curious to hear what this one sells for, I think it is priced right.

Quoted from too-many-pins:When comparing it to the car hobby this one is a survivor not restored ("lipstick on a pig"). Not knocking high end restorations - but anyone with money can buy a fully restored machine that looks new. But a super nice all original machine just doesn't come up for sale often at any price.
The pinball hobby has never valued original conditioned games, it's different from the arcade hobby and car hobby. Pinball is more like a pimp my ride kind of hobby and restores will always have more value than good conditioned originals (there are many reasons for this I could identify).
All that said, I think your game is in really good condition and it will sell at your price eventually. It's just not a quick sale at the price you are seeking.
Quoted from hoby1:Priced right it would sell quickly. Remember its got fade on both sides, head is all chipped. up, mini playfield is chipped, game needs a good buff and is dirty, lockdown has lock rot, Could be a nice game but the way it sits its a players condition game
The cabinet appears to have very little fade (compared to most WMS machines of the time). My true single owner HUO DW I've had since 1992 has far more substantial fade. Also, I don't think this example has much playfield damage as it doesn't look like it had many plays - the inland rollover switches are in perfect shape and those are often beat up prettt bad on this game. The shooter lane hasn't seen much action.
The mini playfield area will always be chewed up on DW. Even on a restored DW one ball shot that gets caught in the time expander can cause a chip. I clear coated mine and it has stopped it from doing it. His game could use a nice wax job, but that Diamond Plated playfield is tough and it would polish up nicely.
Quoted from too-many-pins:And personally I am not an LED guy either.
DW looks great with incandescent lighting effects. I actually only changed out mine so it would blend in better with the rest of my collection in the line but I liked the look of incandescent bulbs on this game (similar to BSD and LOTR).
