It sat around for a few years and was home to a mouse for awhile, also the balls are so rusted so bad they wont roll straight. All the rubbers are dry rotted and cracked but it should clean up ok. On the bright side, it powers up and plays.

Congratulations !!, hope you got a good deal on it.

$150. I just cleaned up most of it with windex, it had a protective layer of scum on it. It looks pretty good now. 1 ball kicker is frozen solid but everything else is working. Time to order some parts.

great deal

Cool it is on my most wanted list, just because I really want to play it.

I found it on e-bay. I went and looked at it last night. He said $150 and I gladly shook his hand on it. When I got back home the auction was up to $313 with 4 days to go. He still took $150 for it today and told me about a nice Haunted House his buddy has for $350. I'm going tomorrow to check it out.

That would be a good deal also

1 question, to get free play on a Gottlieb Wipeout, it needs to be in tournament mode? I wanted to ask before I screw with it. Thanks.

If you happen to pass on the Haunted House. Let me know I love that machine.

Yup. I think all Gottlieb system 3's are that way.

Wipe out is AWESOME - you are one lucky pinball man - congrates on the hard work of locating it.

I just got done working on it. It needs 2 coils, o-ring set, a translite and a bunch of bulbs.

I agree!
Had a blast playing it at the PHOF! Very addicting PF to learn...
I think Wipeout and Radical are some of the best underrated pins out there!

I played it at the PHOF as well. Very fun. Love the ski lift!

Nice score, hope you get the HH as well.

Even if the Pin sucked that is a great price...and it powers up and works...NICE. I have never played that particular one but it looks cool.
