I bought this at the huge Tulsa auction a few years back. It was by far the nicest pre-war in the auction and fetched a hefty sum. At the time, it had the wrong legs on it which kept it from bringing even more. Luckily, the correct legs were on another game at the auction and I was able to swap with the buyer of the other game. So now it is 100% complete and original, I have not laid a finger on it other than testing out the solenoids to verify that the game is fully functional.

It's one of the most beautiful pre-wars I've seen with a very cool play mechanism. If you land the ball in either of the side 500 launchers, then shoot for one of the "fire" holes, the fire hole ball will drop and then be launched down the guide wires below while the side launchers will kick the ball towards the 2000 scoring position. Another solenoid relaunches the ball at the bottom if you completely miss all the gobble holes on the way down. There is also a light at the top of the 2000 scoring position that lights when the balls are fired by dropping in the fire holes.

As can be seen from the pics, the playfield is extremely nice, the cabinet is extremely nice and the game is fully functional with no hacks or missing pieces.

Pickup is preferred, but I'm sure it could be shipped via FedEx or UPS if necessary. I'm open to trades for anything off of my wishlist (plus cash from me).
