I picked up a Bally Lost World today for $400. Honestly when I got there (2 hour drive) the game wasn’t as nice as it looked in the pictures. Way more playfield wear than I thought and badly flaking backglass. Anyhow, since I drove two hours and it looked really sad I bought it as a possible project down the line.
The art on this game is super cool but I know it doesn’t get great gameplay reviews. If I were to restore it, new playfield or overlay (CPR isn’t currently making the playfields), new backglass and cabinet repaint with pinball Pimp stencils, what do you think it would be worth?
I’d probably have to get $2500 or so for it to break even if I put a playfield in it which I don’t mind just breaking even on this project, I love these old Bally machines.
Boards aren’t terribly bad but I have no idea if it boots or not.
Any thoughts?
