Quoted from Pinny80:Thanks for all your inputs!
I still disagree..
Playfield is original, so no touch ups and no clearcoat, but ultra nice, and yes, minor shooterlane wear.
But can you see the shine on this playfield?
This is the original (factory) coating, you will not find this condition playfield fast.
Cab is just perfect! Maybe 1 edge or something may be not 100%, but the proces was done by professionals, so of course using the proper precousions before the decals were applied!
Please check: http://www.pinball-dreams.com
Or send them an email to ask about their re-decal proces.
Not sure about whats wrong with the targets?! Worn? All new and on the invoice. Ow some minor dirt on them and white rubbers which always tend to get faster dirtier. I think with 1 whipe it will be gone! But have you seen the reflection of the targets on the playfield? Thats nice right?!
Subway was brand new (also in the invoice).
Yes this game has been played for about a year after it was renovated. It was standing in a heated garage and yes there is dirt that came in the cab and went down to the bottom. Also on the playfield and thus on the targets and rubbers.
Does that make it that much less? Making it worth to say its not cq?
In my book a great original 9 (of 10) is still cq.
Never said it was a HEP. Just a nice cq original which has been played now and then.
So to wrap it up:
I have a very nice TZ for sale with original playfield many new parts, all matching serial numbers on the boards, with some extra's installed (mirrors, custom apron) that is near CQ (according to the pro's) about 9 of 10, which need a bit of cleaning to make it perfect
Thanks!
Not CQ. Clean original. Market as such. Pinside has little tolerance for Collector Quality terminology being used...and rightly so.
