FS: Who Dunnit, W?D $1500 (SOLD)

**Update**
Hey everyone, just wanted to drop a reminder about my Who Dunnit for sale. I will be attending Expo in Chicago on Friday and Saturday, and, seeing as how it's only a week away, I figured I'd bump the post. I can bring the machine along if a deal is in place. There are quite a few pictures in this thread, just scroll on down. Details are below. Thanks for looking!

Playfield is in great shape, elevator ramp is also in great shape. Slot machine reel mechanism is present and getting power, but currently not spinning. That does not affect game play, as the spin happens on the DMD as well. There are some posts below addressing that issue. Cab has some wear around the flipper buttons, plus a few scratches and dings. $1500. You can also see pics of the machine by clicking on my profile and looking under the game room photos. Shoot me a message if you're interested. Located in Omaha, NE and looking for local pickup. Game is also listed locally. Thanks!

Was that the nice one in Texas from Marlboroa? If so, you will have one of the nicer WDs I have ever seen...

Yes, It will be coming up from TX next month thanks to another Pinsider being VERY generous in helping with delivery! I am super pumped!

To get back on track...>>based on what I paid for the TX one, Pballer22's game is worth every penny of what he is asking based on condition. The slot step motor is apparentoy an easy fix and the motor is readily available if needed.

I just sold a beautiful Who Dunnit to a fellow pinsider yesterday, whoever buys this one won't be disappointed! That game is responsible for getting the Peter Gunn theme permanently stuck in my head.

Thanks for the responses. Not entertaining trades, actually downsizing the arcade, but I appreciate the offer. Which, that also means I'm not sure I can hold onto it until April...haha!

Whats up with the Slot machine reels and is that a difficult/expensive fix? I just have no idea, never seen one except once in a bar and they didn't work either.

It uses the same motor as the spider-wheel in Scared Stiff. It's not a super-cheap motor ($60?), and Who Dunnit uses three of them. (One for each reel).

The fact that they are ALL not working leads me to believe its something else, though.

Who knows, though. Nice game regardless...One of my wife's favorites.

Yeah, from stuff I've read it's possibly the $40-$60 stepper, metal shavings getting magnetized (which just requires a cleaning, air blower), or replacing the IC chips on the reel boards, which can be bought from RadioShack for like $10. I know for a fact the optos work.

As it doesn't affect the gameplay, I've never really taken the time to look into it.

I've disassembled and cleaned the motors before. It's not difficult to do. Rumor has it the same motors are used in old 5.25" disk drives.

$1500 is an amazing deal for that machine. If the physical slot reels don't work, it doesn't affect gameplay at all. The reels are also reflected on the DMD and the mechanical ones can be disabled in settings, but they should be easy to fix and probably don't require replacement.

If I were you, I'd bring the game to expo and put a price of $2-2.5k on it. I bet you'll sell it once people play it and realize how awesome it is. W?D is better than Cactus Canyon, Champion Pub and most other late-model B/W games. Plus, the software is perfect, music is amazing... it's one of my favorite games.. it's a lot like BSD in that the ruleset isn't deep but it's challenging to line up certain game objectives (bumping up jackpot amount during multiball, collecting equipment, then solving cases).

On top of that, this is a very low production machine. Very rare. It's odd to see them for sale at all.

Thanks, PinballHelp. I can't go to Expo for the entire time, and from what I've read, if you bring a machine it has to be there the whole time. Maybe I'm wrong about that.

I agree...great game! I am just downsizing a bit and needed to sell off a couple machines to pull off the upgrade/downsize.

You can do as you wish with your game at expo. I believe the only caveat is you only get reimbursed for each day you leave the game setup for that entire "day".

for probably $250 or less you can get it insured and shipped terminal to terminal if pballer is willing to package and put it on a pallet. I pick mine up in 2 hours and will report back with how it went.

I am pretty sure if you get it to expo, and get some help fixing the reels it will be gone before you leave. Seems like a nice game at a fair price.
