I've got limited room, and I am full up, so next to go is my Theatre of Magic. First of all it is a prototype. See the "Magic Post" between the flippers (and yes it is fully functional, there is a target to hit that pops it up for a timed amount). Also the red boards. I have tried to research, and the best that I can tell there were 10 made initially (if you have more information on this, I am always interested in learning more, please write and let me know what you know). It was worthy of a full restore, so the playfield was sent to HEP as a part of that process, and so of course that means it has a lake of clear coat to help make it bulletproof. It has LEDs. I will include the regular CPU ROM, but I am not sure why anyone would want to lose the original that works with the Magic Post.
As I said it is a full restore, up to and including serial number stickers. I believe it to be perfect in all ways, but would love you to see it in person and check it out for yourself (note there is one cracked plastic, but I have found and purchased the replacement, I can put it on or include it with the other spare plastics I have as you wish).
Space is my issue, so except for a few oddball games I have on my list (see my wish list, plus there are few other oddities), I am really not looking to trade.
I would love for you to see it in person, play it, and then take it home. That isn't always possible, I get it. I will ship if you arrange it, certainly I have sent and received myself. I will drive a reasonable distance to meet you part-way if you add that to the price, I have asked others to do that for me on occasion and appreciated it working out well for both of us. I can give multiple Pinside references as needed, I honor our community and love that we have Pinside available to us. Any questions, please ask.
And no, the other games in the pictures aren't for sale. But they do help to make a lovely row of Bally/Williams magic in my basement.
