Item description

1 of 227 produced in 1993. Probably one of the nicest of these in existence. Speckled cab, no wear. Very nice Playfield. Full LEDs, Pinstadiums installed, plays sharp, have the cliffy for it but uninstalled, have some extra Alvin G MPUs and flipper parts with it too, everything works and plays great.

Wow! It looks great!

Good luck! For some reason MC prices are cratering right now. There’s one up here that’s say for months and months. It’s less than half your asking.

Hope you can find a buyer, for some reason all the Alvin G fans are sleeping!

Yea, I’m not in a rush on it. I love the game. People are paying ridiculous prices for everything and this is a true collector’s item and this one is probably top 5% condition wise. All of them are riddled with bad cabinets or cracked ramps or board hacks. This one is darn near perfect. Probably 9/10. Definitely for the right person or the Alvin G collector who wants perfection. And, I’m fine to keep it. Open to offers too.

As a former owner I have to disagree. This game has held up extremely well. The playfields were made solid and the cabs, while cheap, were nowhere near Bally cabs. Most examples of this game are in decent to great shape. That said,
GLWS.

I haven't seen a lot of these, but mine doesn't have any of the aforementioned problems, so we'll have to exclude mine from op's broad stroke "all". In fact, my stand ups and megamode hole aren't as chewed up as op's either, so maybe his statement is just marketing hyperbole.

Drop and bump. Hit me with trade offers too if there’s any interest.

Bump and drop. Would trade straight for a CCr SE or go some cash on top for Godzilla Premium.

I don't think they are cratering, I think that one guy overpaid by like 3k on a mystery castle in 2019 or maybe it was 2020 and now everyone that decides to sell one tries to go for that price or above, even though they usually just sit forever priced well below that.

I'm, honestly, break even where I'm at on it now. If it doesn't sell for close, I'll just hold onto it.

Last drop. Open to trade offers plus or minus cash. People buying funhouses for this price and that’s not half the game in my book.
