Quoted from xTheBlackKnightx:It always has amazed me that the original Eight Ball is not as well liked (today...), because it has nearly the same level of quality in terms of shot challenge, and nearly equal in artwork for plastics and backglass.
A fully restored EB (Bally, 1977) version with a NOS playfield, backglass, and re stenciled cabinet averages between $2000-3000.
Playfield swap outs are expensive to do (between $1000-2000), even though this game is rather simple in comparison to most late model games.
A nice example will run around $1000-1200, and it is solid state...
Drop targets are much more fun than stand ups and rollovers. Inline drops are even better! I like both games but EBD is way ahead of EB. However, the EB back glass kills EBD. Aayyyyyyy!
