I am usually not in the "selling" business. I can count on one hand the number of machines I've sold, but cash is tight and I can use some extra money for the holidays, property taxes and other fun stuff, so I'm reluctantly offering up one of my most-prized machines, a HUO Twilight Zone.
The game is 100% operational.
I know, I know, "HUO" is all-too-often abused and misused. I'll let you be the judge of this. I picked this game up from a woman who had it in her home since it was new. There is no evidence whatsoever the game has ever been on location. It's all-original and very clean. I've never given it a full strip-down shopping because it was so nice, I just set it up and played it. I've done a few minor mods to the game -- very minimal: tastefully-selected and placed LEDs, cliffy protectors for the rocket, slot machine and upper playfield side -- I have pictures of "before" the cliffy's were installed to show no wear, PBR reinforced greed targets, sw26 proximity soldered for more reliability and an external battery pack. Other than that, the game is original and plays like it was just taken out of the box, viciously fast and fun.
About the most obvious blemish on the game is one broken plastic across from the piano - instead of buying a whole plastic set, I made a reinforced piece of lucite - it's more of a design problem IMO that the ball gets bounced off an adjascent stand-up and tends to pound the plastic so I put a different piece there - it could be easily repaired. This game has a few minor dings here and there - it's not perfect, but it could probably easily be put in museum/collector quality - I just left it original.
Here are some early pictures of the game when I first got it several years ago (showing areas that have been covered up with Cliffys) http://imgur.com/a/uugLg#0

The game is located in the New Orleans, LA area. I would prefer to deal with someone picking the game up in person. But I'm open to other offers.
I'm asking $8500. Given that the average sale price on eBay in the last 12 months has been $6200+ (with one selling for $12,995) I think I'm not making an unreasonable request. This is the top-rated pinball of all time. Thanks for your consideration! I may also entertain trades + cash. One game I'm looking for is a WPT.
