Public Service Announcement!
160 pinballs spanning from 1934 to 1989 are going to be auctioned off in Tulsa on 2/18/18 at 2pm (preview at noon). This was some guys collection that died and his family has commissioned an auction company to get rid of them all. There is no reserve and no buyers fee but the pins have to be removed within a week unless other arrangements are made. I am not affiliated with the auction company - they found me through a friend of a friend deal and I agreed to throw it out on Pinside/Mr Pinball/etc.
I asked the owner of the auction company if they would allow remote bidding and he said that if anyone was interested in doing that, to contact him directly via text/phone. His name is Jay and his # is 918.639.7653.
I was allowed access to the games to take pictures. From what I understand, these games were in dry storage. I didn't see any water damage, critter damage, smoke damage or anything like that. I also didn't see any touch ups or attempts at any sort of restoration. They are simply raw games that look very complete - I didn't even see a single coin door missing (they don't have keys to most of them and they haven't been opened when I took the pics). The bulk of the EMs were powering on fine and most will even play. Most of the cabinets were better than I would have expected, I didn't witness many wear spots on the playfields (except the Star Trek was pretty worn) and the backglasses were as expected - some were phenomenal, a few were toast but most looked good.
I have limited access, but if anyone has specific questions - PM me and I'll try to get an answer or a picture of what you need. I'll visit the pins again this weekend. You are also welcome to text/call Jay - but he has limited pinball knowledge.
