    Depends on the mod....in my experience color dmd, high end glass, and pin sound boards u can get most of your $ back....there are a few really rare mods that actually increase, but most stuff your lucky to get $.50 on the dollar.

    Quoted from Anony:

    LOL!

    Thanks, this makes sense. It sounds like the pinwoofer and flipperfidelity will be a welcome mod for a second hand buyer but the figurines/aesthetic stuff should probably be sold on their own.

    Depends on the game....adding just speakers doesn't really do much to improve sound quality on the older games. Adding a pin sound board + speakers with higher end sound files helps a lot. PinWoofer makes a great product that I have used on a few modern games, and yes it helps quite a bit.

    Quoted from Anony:

    Thanks for the feedback. It's Iron Maiden so I think the speakers should be a welcome addition to anyone. Although I do love this table and hope I never have to sell or trade it.

    If u really want to improve the sound quality I would get the pin woofer product....u don't need a pin sound board or color dmd on IM

    Quoted from Mike_J:

    I’ll only pay a bit more for ColorDMD.
    I typically deduct $350 for PinStadium light kits because it will take me a bit of time to take it off and burn it in my furnace.

    I'm not a Pin Stadium fan, but it only takes 5 minutes to remove
