hey Guys...found this ad...
"Data East Hook pinball selling as-is, lights up and makes noise but is not working. Missing the back box lights. $985"
is this a good deal? getting it to work a pain?

Could be a fun project. If the rest of the machine is nice, it could be a fair price. I'd offer $800 and see what happens!
I saw this at coinopwarehouse. You can find working ones for 1100-1200. Finding some parts may be tough.
I think it's a bit high considering condition and how much possible work it could take. All the machines posted in the past day or two outside of that South Park seemed a bit on the high end to me since they all seemed like that needed a decent amount of work, display, new boards, etc.
it's coinopwarehouse - the best you can do is go and look and make the call. You can't wait around with him and you can't expect much from him in terms of 'giving details', etc. He wholesales and tries to move stuff quick.
Go and see how bad the comestics and boards look. Could be simple.. could be bad. Either way, not a great pin once you do have it working.
I agree with you Director...not sure whats going on...seemed like the prices had been reasonable in the past but are now creeping up...and the discriptions are not enough to make a good decision on the purchase...last thing anyone wants is to be in a machine for more than its worth and still not having it working properly...
