Hey guys - got a question.

A local friend and fellow pinhead picked up a project I500 a little while back that he may sell me. I'm going to go check it out on Thursday. He's a good dude and has no intention of screwing me over price wise. In fact, he's asking a fair price for it given the condition him and I have discussed.

However! I'm not sure him nor I know exactly how much work needs to go into it. As such, I figured I'd ask here and see if you guys could give me a few pieces of info that will help me decide if it's worth my time and money:

- Are there any parts on I500 that are super expensive to replace/impossible to get?
- Besides pops and flippers (which can be rebuilt), what major areas are worth looking at on this machine?
- In terms of wear, what spots should I keep my eyes peeled for?

Appreciate any help! If it looks like it can be salvaged for not a huge monetary investment, I'll probably bite. I don't mind spending time on it (I think he said the cab has typical fade which is to be expected), but if it's going to command a huge cost to get up and going, it simply won't be worth it for me I don't think. Thanks!

Fantastic - thanks for the super concise list! I'll bring it with when I go to his place.

Any chance the ramps will be reproduced? I seem to remember him saying they're OK, but I may be blowing smoke. And are the turbo blades the parts with the ball lock?
