The Simpsons Pinball Party
Stern, 2003Looking at a huo tspp but wondered what issues i could have since it has sat for so long. They bought it new and played it off and on for about 4yrs and not really any since till they are selling it and it plays fine they said. Is there any problems that i could run into since it is a 10-12 yr old game? Never serviced or any mods etc. Just bought played some then sat.

Probably will need new rubbers, new balls, a good cleaning topside. Also good chance the batteries could have leaked.
Check for fading on cabinet especially if it sat near an open window.
Check for wear around the flipper buttons, common on this title.
Check playfield for planking if it was not in a controlled environment.
I'm as new as you......but sounds as good a story to get a game if any......???.................Joey
i dont think any fade, not sure about batteries. no wear around flipper buttons. Some scratched on black side rales. not 100% but think it was stored in a house so it was a controlled environment. Just on the fence about it. Good deal just dont know if its the right pin for me. Hate to pass up a good deal but dont want to rush and get it just because its a good deal.
The contacts on the switches may not fire due to not being used, as they are self cleaning. Run a Switch Test. Look for corrosion on/ around bulb sockets & metal playfield parts. May need to reseat some ribbon cables & other connections. GLWP.
The game is a tank. Had mine since nib 2003, zero issues with it! If it's a good deal, grab it. If you don't like it, sell it as demand for the game is pretty strong.
Batteries would be my only concern.
It complements your taf very well.
Quoted from centerflank:It will probably burst into flames after a few plays
Always the optomist lol
First check batteries. Then d.o a tech report and cycle the coils. by using the buttons inside the door. If playfield status OK, you should be fine. Rebuild flippers and slings & pops. Clean the switches with air or a buseness card. Have a lot of fun. Anything under 3K for that game is safe, possibly higher. Great game
They r asking 4k. Probably will pass. Over my budget but hated to pass on a good deal. This pin was not on my short list really. Just happened upon it lol.
I'd be glad to give you $4200....and I already have a decent one. (over $600 in new parts sitting in the closet waiting for the shop job).
I found it on ebay and had him text me the pics. It is located near atlanta GA. Here is the ebay listing if anyone is interested. I hope a pinsider gets it.
The TV screen in the upper pf looks garbled. Might just be the camera lag and the changing of the TV screen dots, but I'd ask about it.
Quoted from Flake:My paranoia alarm goes off on an ebay member for 12 years that has NO feedback and is selling a 4k+ game
I say stay far away from this one.
Unless you go look at it in person, I wouldn't touch it.
I've bought an ebay one before and the pin sent was not even the same game from the pictures.
My recommendation might be different if this was an ebay seller with some great history.(longtime seller/feedback for selling pins)
0 feedback could mean a new account opened just for selling this pin, because he doesn't want to ruin feedback on his other account.
Since the seller says pickup only that limits the scam a little, unless he is going to rob you at gunpoint.

LoL,
Better bring some pinsider backup with you just in case.
If your looking for a TSPP & it's a close enough to drive, you owe it to yourself to go & look at it in person.
it is close enough for me to see, that was my plan but I decided against getting it. Its not on my short list of pins. I put the location so someone close could go see it to buy, not ship.
