Just picked up an Old Chicago in very nice condition. Looks like it just needs routine maintenance and a tune up- stepper degunking, new coil sleeves and so on. Big thanks to the good pin folks of DFW who thought the $600 asking price was too much, leaving it for me! Guy said he'd had hundreds of calls. I’ll post pics after it’s unloaded.
Manufactured in '76 so I guess that means anytime from '76 to '77 ish. Tax sticker 1978, so it wasn’t routed for very long. Then it went to a teacher's house who set up a game room in her home for her special needs students / friends. It didn’t work after her move to her current house, where it’s been in the garage for at least 13 years. Probably the move knocked out the fuses, because whoever looked at the machine before I got there put found fuses in. It lights and tries to reset. No worries.
Approx 38,000 plays on the counter. Is that a lot for a game that was only on a route for a couple of years?
