So my friend's mom called him and told him that she has a friend who has a pinball in storage. Confused? Good. Well I don't know what the pinball machine even is(nor do they even remember), just that they have one and that they will take a pic of it for me and send it along. The mystery has me on the edge of my seat here! Hopefully I'll find out later today or tomorrow.
Quoted from NEW-B:Best way this can end: "it's called something madness, do you still want it?"
Better is it we got it new but when we took it out of the box, we couldn't find the cord, and put it in storage thinking we'd find a cord someday. You can have it if you get it out of there.
Worst is getting there and it's an Alive pin that they say is worth $15K on TV but you can have it for $10K because it doesn't turn on, smokes a lot when it did, and needs new glass all around.
We'll hope for the madness part.
LTG : )

Lol I can hope!
Quoted from NEW-B:Best way this can end: "it's called something madness, do you still want it?"
Cause if you do, they said you could have it for $300.
Make sure you post what happens. I feel like a while back there was a similar thread where some dudes wife's co-worker said they had a pin and he can have it, but I don't think he ever posted what it was or what happened...I NEED CLOSURE!
Storage Wars: Damn! It's a Spiderman tabletop!!(NIB though) Seriously, hope it's a treasure.
Quoted from MikeO:Smokey 789 mentioned Storage Wars - So why don't we ever see pins show up in Storage Wars? I think it's about time a pinball showed up in a Storage Wars locker.

There was a Black Pyramid in a locker that hester bought that they actually gave a correct price value on it. Said it was worth between 400-600.
Quoted from MikeO:So why don't we ever see pins show up in Storage Wars?
So you want to see a Humpty Dumpty with rat nests and general filth all over it "sell" for $2000, making it appear that the current price craze is ok to unbeknowing viewers?

there were 2 already on the origional SW's..
first a black pyramid, and then DE checkpoint.
Quoted from HELLODEADCITY:Interesting - could it be from the 50s- 60s ?
Ha, it's funny you say that. I always hope that's the case when someone talks about a pin lead. I know I'm in the minority here.

I will send good pin-vibes your way mdelorenzo.
At the very least you'll walk away with a sweet Roy Clark! 
Quoted from APOLLO_13:ooh dude that looks sweet... hopefully they will give you a good price...
I hope they do. Sounds like they paid alot for it a long time ago though.
Quoted from mdelorenzo:I hope they do. Sounds like they paid alot for it a long time ago though.
depends what your def of a lot is. I know a ton of people that if you said I paid $1000 for this MM they would be like man I would never pay that you got ripped off. People are stupid 
How do the X's and O's (pun intended) work on this game? Are they similar to the dual lamp inserts used on Pac-Man?
This is a great pin! I had mine for about a year before I sold it. $500-800 is the right price range for this. Don't pay $1000 like I did, lol.
Quoted from maddog14:Back glass is probably trashed. That games art work was atrocious
Problem solved. 
Quoted from mickthepin:depends what your def of a lot is. I know a ton of people that if you said I paid $1000 for this MM they would be like man I would never pay that you got ripped off. People are stupid
They paid 1800 for it at some point. Ouch
Quoted from mdelorenzo:Right..I made an offer though. They need it gone so we will see.
fingers crossed for ya'
Offer was acknowledge and they'll "think" about it...We shall see. I have fun plans for this machine if the deal goes through.
