Game - for sale

For sale: Grand Prix

Added: 2017-10-24 17:31:49 UTC • Ended: November 28th, 2017
Condition: Used - shows wear but 100% working and clean

Price

$ 800

Looking to trade my Grand Prix (plus/minus cash) for a non-EM Gottlieb Machine to round out my collection. Silver Slugger, Wipe Out, Hoops, etc.

Grand Prix is in very nice condition; the cabinet has colors that pop, the playfield has all original plastics (none chipped or broken), back glass is beautiful with no peeling or missing paint.

Everything works great on this machine, it looks to have had limited play over the years and there have been no "hacks" to the wiring, no broken drop targets, original spinners and so on.

I did change all the plastic post caps to polished chrome (it's a racing themed game!) as well as put subtle LED lights throughout to make the inserts really pop. I can revert it back to regular 47’s for you purists.

I recently cleaned all the score wheels and resodered some connections that I did not feel were quite good enough. I also installed a pair of flipper rebuild kits to make the flippers work like they did when the machine was new.

It's not all sunshine and roses though, there is a small patch near the top kickhole that wore out from the ball landing in the same spot every time. Someone put a protective Mylar patch over it to prevent further damage. I was thinking about touching that up but it will be up to the new owner to decide if it is worth the trouble.

Fair price, IMO

I grew up in Warwick RI. Buck Rogers was my first game wayyyy back when I turned 10, and then we sold it back several years later when no one could repair it (oh how times have changed). Would be funny if you are the owner of that exact machine!

Anyways, nice looking Grand Prix and a very fair price. GLWS or trade.
