Is this for 2 T2s?

Your price is nuts.

Considering your price, you might want to specify that it comes with a Pinsound Kit....

With all the new money in the hobby now, I think yer spot on. Plus it's cleaner than Skeeter's peeter. MINTY even!

Why so cheap??? Dude you are leaving money on the table!

Personally think price is certainly on with it being a HUO with all the mods/upgrades...I’ve personally played this machine and it’s absolutely amazing...coming from an amazing guy and collector who is super easy to work with you won’t be disappointed if you’re looking for one of the nicest T2s you’ll ever see

Just my 2c

How often do you find a huo game of that vintage??

This looks like a super nice t2 with all the chrome and pinsound. This price might be a little high but not price police high. IMO.

This was my T2 and you will have a difficult time finding a nicer one. You don't seen these machines from the 90's in this condition come up that often. The pictures don't do it justice and below is a link to my ad which has a lot of detailed pictures.

From what I can tell he made some upgrades as well (pinsound, chrome coin door, custom apron cards, etc). This machine is not your typical routed turd and is not for everyone. Good luck with the sale and don't let the price police get to you.

Serious question — how do you know it is a home use only machine?

Do you have the original sales docket to a private individual?

So many machines advertised as HUO - over here, machines were rarely/never sold into private houses.

just wondering ...

Truly huo? Rarely.

But really “huo” jist describes condition.

I’ve seen MANY T2s super nice for less than half the price of this.

My perspective / 2 cents...I am interested in buying a documented HUO T2 that is in nice condition, but I don't want one with a bunch of heavy mods added or or having a bunch of original stuff changed on it. To me the value in older HUO pins is having them mostly stock and not restored, the few nicks / dings it might have or repairs it needed from just being played are fine which add to its character. To me a game with heavy mods just starts looking like other restored games.

That said I may never find what I'm looking for either...but I admit this particular game for sale is *really nice*.

Looks like more of a museum piece than a restored machine with bells and whistles. In its current condition/status I could easily see a high end collector paying for this pin. Yes you can still find this pin pretty cheap but it will be a beat to shit routed pin.

Great seller with a first rate collection. Buy with confidence.

My reply really had nothing to do about price (like it was too high or not wanting to pay extra for mods I don't want, etc) I already have a nice T2 myself and am in the middle of restoring another, but would like to also purchase a mostly stock documented HUO too.

I have a very nice t2 . but man this one looks intense...

This is a nice pin! Good luck restoring a 2000-3000 dollar T2 to this condition and coming out cheaper with the mods and chrome

Wow already sold? T2 for almost 6k!

wow. God bless this hobby

No it doesn’t.

HUO is literally saying that a machine is ... home use only.

Never used in an arcade. Only ever been in a house.

I think people use HUO as you describe, but that is not correct.

Cargument just for Levi ... it’s like saying the car you’re selling is garaged and only ever driven to church on Sunday ... but it’s outside and driven to work regularly. It’s false advertising.

Again - I’m not meaning this pin - but I think HUO is claimed wayyyy more than is actually the case.

Carry on.

Anyone can restore a game or send one to HEP if they have money but you cannot go back in time and get these older titles with low plays in this condition. These games are hard to find in this shape and are not for everyone. I don't understand why people have a hard time understanding this and there are plenty of T2's in lesser condition you can spend your money on. It's like finding a classic car that has been garaged with only 5K miles. Anyone can buy a beat car with a lot of miles and completely restore however it's not the same thing as an nice original.

Yep and it didn't even require used car salesman tactics or a million bumps from the seller himself either.

I am really surprised by your comments in this thread and you off all people should be able to judge a machine based on it's condition. Condition is king and someone buying this is doing so for that reason and not because it's supposedly HUO. And using your logic then every HUO machine on Pinsde could be false advertising because who is to say someone selling the HUO Ghostbusters or Munsters didn't bring it to their work, pinball show, or have it on location for a few weeks? You basically would need a live video feed from the time it was unboxed until the time it was sold to prove the machine always in a home location.

I’m not arguing that, I agree. All I’m saying is the people that think this is a $3k game are out of their mind. I was saying you couldn’t restore one and have it this nice unless you got the game dirt cheap. This is a good buy if you want a super nice T2.

HUO doesn’t worry me in the slightest.

Aside from games I bought new, I don’t think I own one HUO game. I couldn’t give a shit! I buy on what I see with my eyes. Not on some label.

But ... there are lots of buyers on Pinside who want “HUO” games. Read the ads .. “wanted, HUO TZ” or whatever.

With the newer games, it’s pretty obvious if something is home use. Heaps of new games are sold into houses now. And those guys will have some receipt for it too, if needed.

But the question was more regarding old games from the 80s and 90s. How many of those “HUO” games are actually really HUO?

I would suggest very few.

Anyway, that’s all from me .. it was just a passing comment, which nobody really answered, to be honest. Maybe nobody really wants to know.

Congrats to the OP on his sale.
