For sale: Theatre of Magic Prototype Fully Restored

Featured Ad

Added: 2017-05-02 19:55:07 UTC • Ended: May 22nd, 2017
Condition: Fully restored (full original status)

Price

$ 8,500

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.

Bump for an incredible seller and a one of a kind machine. Steve only collects the best machines out there, and this one is no exception. The buyer will be very happy with this beauty.

#3 6 years ago

This game is the real deal and Steve is a great seller. If you're looking for a one of a kind TOM, then this is it. Buy with confidence.

#4 6 years ago

I was looking to make my first pinball purchase last year. As a person brand new to the hobby, Steve welcomed me into his home without even meeting me. All the more amazing because I was looking to buy NIB so there was no financial reason to do so. In hindsight, I should have just waited for him to sell one of his collection to me.

I purchased a walking dead premium from Steve about a year ago and it is still the favorite pin in my collection. This is a guy who has nothing but A+ titles all at collector's grade quality. He is very particular about the machines in his collection and is a valuable asset to the Kansas City community. He is a straight shooter and perfect person to build a connection with for future purchases and sales. Buy with confidence.

I so appreciate the nice words my friends! I love the hobby and love the community. I met all 3 of these fine guys because of the hobby, and that's pretty cool.
Someone who likes special games will be very happy getting this Theatre of Magic, it is really extra nice. I just am full up in my basement limit of 15 games, and I can't get that "next big thing" (no idea what that is yet, but there will be one!) until I sell one, and it's TOM's turn to find another home.

Steve that is about the most perfect lineup I've ever seen. You are a super lucky guy. Wish I still lived in Weatherby so I could stop by and just take this off your hands!

Come on! You wouldn't be the first pinball loving stranger I have invited over to play my games (-:
Just bring some of your local brew. I'll have some of ours. Boulevard is the best-known microbrewery in this area (getting big enough that I am not sure we can call it a micro any more), but there are a number of newer breweries popping up all the time, like they are all across the country

DC Brau, Mad Fox Brewery, Capital city... the list goes on... love that Boulevard!
