Heavily routed Congo for sale in KC. Cosmetically it's pretty rough. Cabinet is faded and drilled (speed holes for better acceleration!). Playfield has wear at the mystery scoop, a touch of wear at the window, and wear at the lost mine insert. Translite is scratched.

I bought this from an operator and fixed it up a bit. Pinsider stangbat went over the PDB, including new GI pins. I put in a new Pinball Inc jump ramp because the old one was missing (likely the cause of the lost mine insert). Backbox lights are now LEDs, as are a few of the playfield GI and inserts. Plays fast. Would be a good candidate to put back on location.

$2400 OBO. Would trade + cash for an '04-'08 Acura TL.

Right side of cabinet has flipper button wear and speed holes. Left side is pretty clean. Front is also drilled as you can see:

Speed holes make things go faster:

I can add more speed holes if the buyer so desires, which will make moving this thing a cinch.

So if it sold in 10 minutes, wouldn't you agree that was a below market price? Not sure why you would post that example on my FS thread.

That is the world's largest sushi roll in the making. It also doubles as a CF glory hole.
