Hey everyone. Brand new to the pinball community and looking for some advice on hook. I'm going to look at one that is a documented one owner home use only since new machine and was wondering what to look for as this is my first pin. From the research I've done in this forum I know the DMD can be a big issue as well as the wind coaster ramp and string light. Any advice on what exactly to look for as well as how to test the machine and these pieces to ensure it is as good and functional as they claim? Also suggestion on price for this machine in NJ? This belongs to a family member of a friend and from what I'm told the machine literally doesn't have a single scratch or sign of wear... Seems too good to be true but theoretically if it does check out what would the "holy grail barn find of hook" run?

I would be in for 2 of the Rufio as well as the skill shot ramp if that were to be made available also!

Hi all. Looking for some help with my first pin- hook. I've been having an issue where intermittently if I lift the playfield when I put it all back together the game will lose all my setting such as free play. Even after resetting it if I turn the game off for a few days when powering back on they are lost again. I figured it was the batteries however they seem to not even be connected as there is a transformer zip tied to the battery holder and wired into the board. Also there are other times I have lifted the playfield and after resetting its fine for months until I lift it again. Any advice? Thanks!

Here is what I'm looking at.

It's wired directly into the board. The yellow and purple wires. I tried to locate pictures on the original to see what it should be however can't seem to find anything.
