Sweet looking

Very Nice!

On photo 11 is there some bubbling of the playfield

Wow. That's a great game. I have not seen one in such good shape. I have a small suggestion. You should also provide a picture of reproduction vs an original playfield? This may prove your point that this is an original and potential HUO game. Glwts

Beautiful game. This may be the one that makes me finally buy this great pin.

Wow! Great looking pin!

10 Grand??

So it's "HUO" but the pricing card has been blacked out and modified like in a arcade?
Also what is the red button on the coin door for that someone drilled a hole for?

Guys - before jumping all over the seller - read this line carefully which he posted in the ad:

"Do not have a documented history on the game but as you can see from the pictures it does not appear the game ever was routed."

It clearly states he does not have history and it APPEARS to be HUO. Relex. It's clearly in great condition but not guaranteed to be HUO.

GLWS.

Yup, gl finding one in this condition for less. IJ's are almost always beat to shit.

Well you could pay 12k for this one

Looks great! GLWS!

Bs

Yeah they are. Sorry to break it to you. Faded, POA not properly working, significant PF wear. Show me one in similar condition for significantly less money.

HEP sold one for 8k a year or two ago. Only example that jumps to mind off hand that was both cheaper and nicer than this one:

I remember that. Been a long time since nice IJ's were not astronomically priced. That was two years ago. A lot has changed. IJ has been white hot for a long time.

Yes, IJ has enjoyed some pinflation the last couple of years for sure.

I got my IJ a little over 2 years ago. Paid 6200, and it had a new decal job (albeit shittily done). My friends told me I was crazy to spend that, and maybe they were right. But there weren't many around even then in even close to that condition, and since it's my grail game I jumped on it. After brassing it out and adding the jackpot mod, color DMD, new speakers, and Pinsound, I decided it still wasn't good enough. So I sent it to HEP, who worked his magic and installed a clearcoated NOS playfield.

Long story short: I spent about the price of a small car on that damn game...and I'd do it all again.

That's a GREAT point. IJ is a very expensive game to work on. An HEP NOS PF will run you around $3k. They are so hard to find parts for. Also, IMO an IJ such as yours shows better than 99% of the games out there. They're just beautiful.

Seller, GLWS - very nice looking game. Nice that I didn't see the same slingshot wear that they almost-all seem to have.

Indy is still my favorite pin, albeit as much out of nostalgla as gameplay.

Yeah, I'm thinking the asking price is probably aligned with the stars for the price policers watching this thread, but I'm admittedly biased:

Mine has 30-40% cabinet fade on one side, 10-20% cabinet fade on the other. Mine has the black sling wear that seems to be common on this game. There are two reverse dimples in my playfield in non-ball-track spots where a careless previous owner used the wrong screw underneath the playfield to fasten a mech. With stains inside the cabinet & with the POA not working, I paid someone $5k for the game and walked away grinning like the cheshire cat. Over time with fixes and upgrades I've dumped another $3k into my game and I still haven't addressed the playfield fully and can't bring myself to cover up direct-print with cabinet decals because of my level of fade.

With all that, I'm sitting at $8k on my Indy (with a Pinsound & ColorDMD inflating that a little bit) and at the end of the day, at it's core - my game is a player's example, at best. Seller's asking price doesn't seem out of league with what prices have gotten to be lately, especially considering condition and title. Ton of modes, awesome shots, gratifying play and the younger Ritchie...

Time for me to go play a round. GLWS, seller.

Saw this game in person yesterday. Even nicer than it looks in the pic, if that was possible. I'd have snagged it had I been able to broker a side deal and create space. Alas, I'll probably have to wait till next year for an Indy :/

No such thing as a reproduction Playfield for this title yet.

Is that really true? I was told there was a repro done.

No PF repros.

Really?? I will take this to the club thread so I don't derail this sales but if that's true, I think someone MIGHT have given me a line of BS to save money. Check my club post.

Congrats on the sale. I have an IJ in similar condition and this sale is tempting me to post mine. I love the game and consider it a top 5 pin for sure. I have played mine multiple times every week for 5 years. The buyer is getting a very nice example of a classic pin .

No repros.

However, like CFTBL, there are three different playfield color versions of this game.

Interesting. That's maybe what it was then.

This guy def said it was a repro though. wow. unbeliev.
