They are not worth much and pretty undesirable. I thought I read something years ago that they are pretty much unserviceable though I may not be remembering correctly. Avoid.
As for that one you linked to, that's about 1000 dollars too much.
Quoted from MXV:I thought I read something years ago that they are pretty much unserviceable though I may not be remembering correctly.
No parts.
Quoted from MXV:Avoid.
Not just because it is unserviceable, but because they are junk.

More like 1200 too much! Wow, talk about sticker shock. The real EK machine is a great game. I owned one for years. This thing is worse that a Zizzle.
Yes the Bally home model pinball machines are serviceable. I wrote most of the pinwiki on it:
http://www.pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bally_Home_Models
They use the very same commercial parts as other Bally solid state machines of that era (such as on Mata Hari, Star Trek, Paragon, etc). John Robertson has some chips to repair the cpu board now.
Quoted from WIZ:How about a pic behind the backglass?
I can't believe Evel K didn't have a jump in it. Like over a saucer or something. Hearing the ball smack the glass would have been super cool.
idk, looking at the pf my old sentinel home machine might be more fun to play (after my 2 minor mods).
I remember these as a kid and exactly where they sat at the Clearwater Mall. They were right near the lawnmowers in the sports/gun section. These typically went for around $550 I want to say. Give or take a few bucks. I could not afford that so therefore I had to purchase Fonzie from Circus World.
