Quoted from hAbO: The playfield is hideous but the rest of the machine looks nice. If you were offered $1200 then take that money and run.
As someone who is in the market for a Sorcerer for about 6-8 months & have been watching them sell here & there, I agree.
I saw this ad originally & noticed the Harrisburg Addy (easy 2 hour drive for me) & thought about it... But the PF is just a little rougher than I would like. I'll wait & find one with nicer PF for more $ in future. I don't "need" another game right now, I need to finish several restorations I have currently in process. I should have bought the Sorcerer that was at York, I think it was $1600ish, but I was going on an expensive Colorado hunting trip a few weeks after York in October & decided not to.
IMO that machine is worth somewhere between $1000-$1200, it is very nice other than the PF, which can obviously be dealt with, it's just a matter of how much time/$ will it take to make the PF as nice as the rest of the game? Well that's the difference between it being a $1200 game or a $1600+ game.
I think $1300 in this market especially 2 months before Allentown, is on the very high side. I think at this time of year in PA, $1200 would be good deal for seller...
Either way, good luck... I'm much more of a fan of late '70s Early Solid State machines, but every Sorcerer I have played, has been a blast & It is the newest machine I have ever had any interest in owning.
