Game - for sale

For sale: Fish Tales

Added: 2018-11-22 20:35:46 UTC • Ended: December 22nd, 2018
Condition: Fully shopped/refurbished

Price

$ 3,500

I have a very nice, fully shopped Fish Tales Pinball Machine for sale. Every single mech on the game was removed and cleaned in an ultra sonic. Every screw was cleaned, all the ramps, plastics, rails, wire forms, etc... everything.  The playfield was completely stripped.  It plays like new.  The topper is there and works.  It does not have the reflective sticker on top of the dome because I bought a new dome for it and they were out of the reflective tape at the time.  It has a new sea shell decal on the dome.    It has new star posts, rubber, pinballs, lane guides, pop caps, flipper bats, all weak coils were replaced, many new coil sleeves. New Mylar on the boat ramp.  All switches were checked and cleaned.  Lamp boards were removed and cleaned.  It has basically all LED.  There may be a couple of incandescent 906 flashers on the bottom side of the playfield still. All the inserts were cleaned.   Inside of the backbox looks dirty but the boards are all clean and working. The batteries have been removed and relocated. The translite has a spot at these bottom where the back had worn off. It has been touched up and cannot he seen from the front.  The cabinet is solid. It has some fading but still has a lot of color. There is a little pinching around the back legs. I have a new set of feet and leg bolts for it too but haven’t put them on.  It has NOS sling plastics on it.  The boat ramp plastic has some chips as is usual and the long blue piece on the right side of the ramp was cracked and repaired. The rest of the plastics are in nice shape. There is a little insert wear as is normal on this machine. I have fish and tackle box decals to cover it but have not put them on since the wear is so minimal. All in all it has had a lot of work done to it.

I’d like to get $3500 out of it as I have seen similar ones sell for more that haven’t been shopped to such an extent.

MINES.
Happy Wild Turkey Day y'all
Fish on

#3 5 years ago

Congrats on the sale and it looks nice. Seeing this make me feel better about paying out the ass for a HUO one a few years back.

#4 5 years ago

I feel like fish tales, i500, and shadow are really starting to take off price wise. I might even add getaway to that list too.

Love my I500 and its going nowhere.

Another couple of unloved pins are NBA Fastbreak and WPT. Really low cost sleepers.

Forgot bsd also.... but most b-c titles have been going up for a while.

Agreed. I think I500 beats them all including BSD. Although I def agree that BSD is climbing too.

I didn't care for i500 at all ...the theme wasn't for me and the gameplay was just ok.

Maybe it's the theme that got you then bc its def more complex than BSD which for me got boring. Both after good games for the price but I do love race car themes in pinball. Gets the adrenaline going

Yea i like hs2 as a theme but not the indy car thing. Also i500 is probably more complex than mb but people dropping over 8k no problem on that ....
I 500 was fast paced with nice ramps also.

Haven't been able to pick this up until this Sat.
The OP has been a buyer's dream to work with, A++.
I'm drivin 3 hours on Sat but he's drivin 1. Stand up guy.
Gonna be a GREAT HILLBILLY CHRISTMAS FISH ON

#12 5 years ago

Worth noting: I paid $3474 for this machine.
Overpaid? Sure, a lil bit. But for those that say "you can't charge for labor!" I say yes, yes you can. I bought a 3k machine that had $474 worth of love applied to it. Worth every penny to me.

#13 5 years ago

It’s calling your name lol.

Lol. That’s pretty funny. Gryszzz said he’d take it. But said he only had $3474. I couldn’t say no to that right

For that level of work, you did not overpay. If anything, you got a deal!

#18 5 years ago

That is pretty cool of OP to hold for that long!

#19 5 years ago
Quoted from lancestorm:

Agreed! But, it was mostly paid for. I trust people too much lol. Kinda joking, but my bullshit detector is very strong, and this seller checks out thus far.
But yes, very cool of him to hold it for me. AND drive an hour.
Can't wait to get this home!
Merry Christmas assholes!

#20 5 years ago

I remember seeing jmountjoy111 from the infamous waspinat0r threads seemed like a good dude. Always post pins at a fair price for the market conditions.

Enjoy it!

#21 5 years ago

Awwww shucks thanks. I miss @waspinat0r. That guy cracked me up. Every single for sale thread he put up was imamaculate!!

#22 5 years ago

I do not miss him. But nor do I miss anyone, they are all just dust in the wind.

#23 5 years ago

*Whoa, slow down. It's still uploading* LOL.
