Besides the obvious are there any problem areas that could break the deal ? Its a pretty routed machine but , being sold by good guy at a fair price. Never really looked one over thanks for any input ... Tj

look for fading on the sides, lifting on the stickers from the bulb heat & make sure the reel works

Awesome game! Make sure the plastic at the top of the boat ramp is intact. I think NOS ones are still available around $120 or so. Probably obvious, but make sure the ball lock is working properly.

Other than that, it's a pretty basic WPC game, with not much in the way of unusual stuff to go wrong. No plastic ramps to crack (other than the top of the boat), no crazy optical stuff.

nothing too crazy like others have said.

It seems many FT have burnt GI connectors. Expect some fading on the cab. Expect some insert chipping in the fish and autocast area.

Most plastics can be found.

Boat ramp is repro'd

pretty straight forward game as far as few issues.
