Machine is working and looks good. Are parts hard to find/expensive for this machine? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! thanks for your time and help.

It is about a $400-500 game.
$550 is not too much if it is in excellent cosmetic condition and fully working.
Generic Parts are available for all EM pins (i.e. coils and flippers, pop bumpers, spot targets, leaf switches etc.)
But (artwork specific) Plastics or Backglasses are harder to come by.
Super Flite (2 player) might be better choice, as with fewer score reels its easier to work on.
Better than average game play, relatively fast for the era.

Sweet, thanks for the info. I have seen pics, not bad condition, but for the age it looks like normal wear and tear. It would be my first and its only 30 min away from home so i wouldn't be paying for shipping. i'm hoping to check it out tomorrow...

I can't see more that 500-- I just think that is more than a fair price. Tell seller it's your first pin and would like him to have mercy on your wallet.

Thanks, I did ask for a lower price and you hit the nail on the head, 500! works and looks great too.

Stratoflite is a great pin. I've had mine for years and it has been nearly bulletproof so far. Have fun with it and make room for #2....
