Game is fully shopped out. I'd say a little better than avg condition. There is very little playfield wear. There was some wear on the outer edge of the spinner wheels so I installed the spinner overlay decal. It's about 1/4" on the edge and goes all the way around each spinner. Ramps are original, clean but are a little ghosted. Entrance to the left ramp is cracked but has a cliffy to protect it from further damage. Cliffy's are also installed at both lower VUKs. Cabinet is pretty nice a few dings etc, but looks very nice.

There are a few plastics cracked, or broken. Notably the left and right slings, and piece directly above the drop targets.

More Stuff:
Rottendog Displays installed
New flipper bats, bushings and links
LED Gi lighting
Game plays error free
Topper with fan is installed and works
Spinner motor works properly
Spinner Decals installed

Local people will be first, then I can deal with possibly shipping, but only if buyer uses NAVL / similar shipper.

Bundy always has nice priced games. Think he should change is FS posts though to local sale only. Little. Bit of a prick tease for those out of state. When you reply he's nice but waits for local sale. Totally sellers prerogative but prefer post local sale first then open it up. Candy in front of hungry 8)kids is just wrong.

What don't you get about Whirlwind?
The awesome Millions Plus jackpots that were so much better than the system 11 community jackpots of the times?
One of the sweeter Lawlor layouts with an array of shots. Very satisfying left ramp.
Excellent topper and spinning discs. One of the earlier wizard modes. Youssi art.

Taxi is enjoyable, but it is no Whirlwind.

But there out there.

When you reply he's nice but waits for local sale. Totally sellers prerogative but prefer post local sale first then open it up. Candy in front of hungry 8)kids is just wrong.

Just FYI the reason I try for local sales first is I got burned 3 times in a row with shipping games in the last 6 months. The buyer sends money. I cash and clear the check and shipping is scheduled when I get a call saying they found the same game closer. I then have to cancel shipping, refund the money. During this time I had local sales available but told them it was sold. When I contacted the local people letting them know it was back up for sale they had already moved on. I also have to sweat it that NAVL or other shipper doesn't damage the machine, and that the buyer is happy as they have not seen it in person. It's impossible to show every corner of a machine in pictures. Once in awhile I dont see that the flux capacitor in the far back corner buried under a piece of plastic may have a bit of gunk on it, and then the buyer freaks out because I didn't disclose that before I shipped it.

I will ship my games, but I'd rather give about a week to the local crowd first. I have replied to the people with interest in shipping that, and I have them prioritized from first contact to last. For me that is the fairest way of handling that.

Totally cool, not trying to bust your nut. Local sales are always preferred for the reasons you stated. Agreed.

Just suggest posting ads in header on pinside as local sale first then. You have really nice looking games that are fairly priced. Just painful from a potential buyer perspective to get all excited to reply first then be told need to wait for local sale - then miss out. Advertise local sale first, then change the ad after a week. That's my only suggestion. If shoe was on other foot think you could appreciate it sucks to miss out on great product. Best.

Sorry to hear you've had so many hassles with shipping. I don't understand how someone can back out of a trade that way. As far as I can see that $$ is yours and all you need to do is ship the pin. Congrats on the sale.

It's not that I don't like the game. Its a good game. Got a lot going for in gameplay/art/topper. It's still a Sys 11 era pin and I don't see why the premium is double. I think it's price is skewed high because of a few deep pocket buys, so people believe that's the what it is. If someone put one right in front of me now in that condition at that price, I'd just pass.
