Hard to go wrong at $300.00, congratz!

Good route game...terrible home game.

It's fun for a while though. Don't put too much money into it if you plan to sell.

$300.00 bucks? Yea, no complaints. Not the greatest WPC but, still, $300.00 bucks. You win sir.

This is actually a fun game, especially for kids, and you cannot go wrong for the price you paid. A Comet would look nice next to it.

It's a fun game...for kids.

Oh, yes, it should be excellent for him! The problem with the game is it forces you to shoot the same shot (either ramp) over and over. Very redundant. For a young player it should be plenty fun.

That's in way better shape than my $450 hurricane. My display and controller were missing.

I think it's a fun game and I'm glad it wasn't expensive

Looks pretty nice actually. I restored and sold one last year. Not a bad game at all. You actually have more color on the lower cabinet than most Hurricanes. You have the standard broken orange plastic in the center. I had to re-create mine.

I think you now qualify for the Pinside Cheap Bastards Club!
Congrats!

Great price, now get your child hooked!

Like he said above, way above average cabinet. This was my first game, it's fun for a few months, people bad mouth it too much. Guests and non pinheads love it. Good luck with plastics, they are nearly impossible to find.

That beats my $800 hurricane I got last spring. My sound also was not working, replaced the .70 cent crystal on the sound board and it started working. I like it, wife and kid like to play it.
Neat game once you figure out the shots for the big points. Your cab and art Id better than mine.
Been looking for a better doner cab so I can slap the new art on it.

Man, that's a steal! Congrats!

This thread inspired me to post about my cab artwork restoration that included a Hurricane.

Maybe it can help a Hurricane owner add the color back to the front of the machine.

See, this confuses me. People say comet and cyclone are good games, but it's basically the same deal.

Been watching a looooong time for a good deal on a Cyclone or Hurricane.... no go in the TX.

That's what I always can't figure out, cyclone gets lots of love, hurricane none. Hurricane is just a dmd multiball version of cyclone really.
Saw planetary has new side for it now too.

We love our Hurricane! Not really sure why people hate it soo much... it's fun and a cool theme(with creepy clowns)!

super smoooooth ramps! and Clown Time! so whats a few creepy clowns?

Nothing wrong with Hurricane. It's a super fun game and there are actually plenty of different ways to score.

And "repetitive" or not it's always a thrill to hit that center ramp 30 straight times for big points, especially when you've got a playfield X going.

Hurricane is fun, but pretty shallow. My wife had a "you can't sell it" rule that was in effect for 5 or so years. She finally caved and I can't say I'd give up anything in my lineup to get it back.

Seriously, even though Cyclone is a single ball game (think about it, there's no multiball), it is the superior game. Most of it has to do with feeling more open, the spook house and side scoop are actually fun to hit unlike the center dunk the dummy stand up and..nothing. I always felt the game was just too cramped and shooting those ramps were the only break from that claustrophobic feeling b

It was fun and treated us well. I hope your Ferris wheel never gives you grief that can't be fixed by adjusting the tension on the belt. I was always afraid of that.

Enjoy it. Great price, fantastic score. I'd buy one again in a heartbeat for twice that (not that I know where I'd put it)

Congrats on the pickup. I have been looking for a Hurricane to finish my Python Amusement Park set (I currently have a Comet & a Cyclone), but as previously said, it's pretty dry here in TX for Hurricanes.

congrats! can't beat any working dmd, let alone a williams!

The theme is great, and the shots are fun, but they are too easy. Combine that with some very unforgiving outlanes, it makes a weird combination of being a way too easy game that's hard? if that makes any sense, lol

Comparable but faded examples have sold for $1200-1400 recently. I'd say somewhere in the range of $1000-1300 without working sound.

Back when I wasn't full up on games, I would've paid $1100ish if you were closer, probably. Maybe $1200, as you have a pretty nice cabinet.

The most recent sale I know of was $300.

You should fix it and play the crap out of it before you sell it. I doubt you will get another deal like that any time soon. Then cut someone else a deal at 1000.

I think I'd be disappointed f I let a serviceable game pass through my hands and come out not fully working. From what I hear, it's not a good enough game to warrant buying again... so fix it, and play the crap out of it, as Donjagra said! Get your fill, and move it along.

If you can get it any closer to Ohio, I'd make a standing offer of $1000. Don't sell for $600; hold out for at least a grand. It's worth that in parts alone (and there's no sense in letting it get parted out.)
