Item description
Thank you for looking. This is a very clean Ripley's Believe it or Not that plays 100%. DMD is super bright. Translite is perfect. Boards are perfect and super clean. Inside the cabinet is really clean too. Game comes with a manual. Shooter lane shows minimum wear. The cabinet and playfield are nice, but not perfect. I'm sure that this machine was on route in the the early part of its life, but has been in a home or office environment for many years. All three flippers are strong, all the plastics and ramps are perfect. Playfield is bright and colorful, but there are a couple of flaws worth noting. There is a small nick near the #1 on the Tic-Tac-Toe board on the playfield. There is also a chip near the right sling post (see pics). There is also magnet wear. That magnet sees a lot of action in the game, so this is very common in this game. It works perfectly and there is no mushrooming on it. The game came with lollipop rails and I don't know if there is wear under them, nor have I ever cared to look, and there is a cliffy on the scoop.
The cabinet is nice too with just a couple of marks here and there (no gouges). All the corners are perfectly square (no chunks taken out). There is some "graining(?)" beneath the right flipper, where you can feel some texture. It's low, out of reach and better than being on the playfield, I suppose.
It's been a wonderful game for me. I've had it for about 9 months and I usually only keep a game for a month or two, so that's saying something, especially since I usually just keep one game at a time.
I'm in Metro Detroit, about half way between Detroit and Ann Arbor. Local deal only, please. Thanks again.
