Champion Pub
Bally, 1998Just finished up a shopping out a Champion pub, outfitted with brass, kit, new star post, new rubbers, new foam target backing, new boxer arms, gold flipper bats, gold flipper buttons, new decals for rope platform and punching bag platform. LED's and will come with a Polk Audio External sub. I have to re stain the inside of the cabinet and put on a new door and she is ready. No playfield wear.
I Love this game and I think its worth the money . There was only like 1300 of these made and how many are left now? I dont plan on letting mine go for a really long time. Its not a super deep game but the toys are really cool and its just fun. Good luck with the sell.
Quoted from tpn2011:Damn the prices have jumped on these
No they haven't. Please don't base price expectations on GAP's machines. He is a retailer and charges accordingly.
that's because the seller saw your post and wanted to one-up you. Way to drive the prices higher... 
JK.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:see, my prices don't look so bad now. [
I sold a mint one with Brass trim and a ton of new parts for $3300 last July. I know prices have jumped in the past year but didn't realize that much. Here was the auction and some pics:
The buyer dictates the market and if he can get 6K then power to him. Guess I sold mine a year to early and best of luck with the sale.
A lot of talk on price here. This game is notoriously hard to price due to there being so few out there.
Sure is a good thing there are several people willing to let everybody know how much money they should spend!
How many man hours do you have into this pin GAP? Men you have to pay and insure. Im sure the men want to work in a covered building too. Damn employes always wanting heat and running water. The nerve. Sure some of us are collectors that pride ourselves on finding the best deals we can fix up ourselves. Some of us pride ourselves on being in the pinball loop and knowing whats what and who's who's. The fact is some like to buy top dollar games with top dollar techs working on them to put in there top dollar game rooms and have them covered by top dollar warranties. If this is not for you then thats great but don't crap on the mans thread. Thats just tacky. When retailers are between stern releases the have to make some money too.

How on earth could someone give that post a thumbs down? Good post!
and I thought those garage door pics was all Allen Shopes...just goes to show what I know. Couldn't be a Shope game, if it was it would be 10k+ 
Quoted from pinlawyer:I bought it. Couldn't resist! There will be a brass door. LOL!!
Lol. I give it a week.

Mike:
Be sure to tell the buyer to check RGP for threads about "the danger zone." It is a feature using the lower right side of the playfield that for whatever reason, BAlly deleted the switch gate that activates it. There is a part number but the part is hard to find. I designed an opto for it when I had mine. An underside eddy sensor might work as well.
Great game. Very underrated. Mine needed a lot of tweaking, but it got there.

I should have known Mr. "Bling" bought it.
