Got a reply to my WTB ad on CL before it got flag spammed. Seller has the following for me to look at:

Funhouse,Twilight zone,World Cup Soccer, Star Trek- Next Generation,White Water, Star Wars-Episode One,Theatre of Magic.

I'm more likely to be looking at WCS, TOM and WH20. My wife wouldn't be crazy about the other pins unfortunately.

Just want to know what to look out for, common broken parts, playfield wear spots etc. Also what price range do these pins go for assuming player condition.

Crazy thing is he lives around the corner, about 1 min away. Small world.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah package deal would be nice, but I don't really have the room or the $$ for multi machines right now. I have baby #2 on the way and a Predator coming sometime in 2013. Really depends on price. May go for 2.

Any other basics besides the battery acid dmg to look for?

Quoted from ThePostmaster:

Look for a credit dot. That will tell you there is a switch error. Play the games before you buy, play a complete game or two. Any major problems should present themselves by then, if there is any. You will also get a feel on wether you will like the game or not.
Good luck, and keep us posted on which pin/s you get.

The credit dot is next Free Play right? Also what does a switch error mean?

EV gave me the price range on WCS, which I think will probably be the only one in my price range, but just out of curiosity can anyone give me ranges for the other pins? Thanks!

Well I am heading there Wed. Worked out best with our schedules. New to the hobby, so no pin friends yet. We need a Cle meetup! Ty all for the advice!

Where am I at price wise assuming decent/player condition?

EV said 1500-1800 for WCS. WH20 3-5k? TOM ???.
