    The wear on the playfield is so bad, I didn't notice the lights are on, but the playfield display is blank!

    Imperial II-class Star Destroyer (Mad River)
    Selling a slightly used Imperial II-class Star Destroyer.
    Previously (slightly) owned by a navigator of a spice freighter, this vessel has been sitting on my moisture farm and needs to be removed before next year's harvest. I just haven't had time to give this classic the attention it deserves and my loss is some-one else's gain!
    1,600 meters in length this bad boy has a maximum atmospheric speed of 975 km/h and an acceleration of >2,300 g. It's got a Class 2 hyper-drive system still in working order with a backup Class 8. SFS I-a2b solar ionization reactor is in good to excellent shape. KDY Destroyer-I ion engine turns over on the first try but may need a new serpentine belt.
    As you can see by the picture provided, the deflector shield generator domes are intact. That is a state of the art ISD-72x.
    Fully equipped with LeGrange targeting computers, heavy ion cannons, Phylon Q7 tractor beam projectors, leather bucket seats, and a 15 disc cd changer.
    36,000 tons of cargo capacity, this beauty was ran with a crew of 37,085 but you can pull it off with a minimum of 5,000 leaving you plenty of room to pack in a few extra AT-AT walkers, TIE starfighters, prefabricated garrison bases, Lambda-class shuttles, yards of soil, spool after spool of pipe, and jet skis.
    This superstructure is perfect for long road trips with the family, discovering new galaxies, picking up girls for dates, and general destruction of your enemies. Have you ever seen what a Star Destroyer can do to the surface of an unshielded planet? Stones run like water and sand turns to glass. With just a little TLC, this baby can be good as new.
    Brand new this beauty of the skies runs at about 145,670,000 credits, but do to some carbon scoring I can be flexible on the price. Realistically, I just need it removed from my property, so all offers or trades will be considered. Make me an offer, no mind tricks.
    First come, first serve basis. You are responsible for towing.
    do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers

    The future is going to be awesome.

    Star Trek The Next Generation Pinball Machine - $7500 (Stockton, CA)

    1993 Star Trek The Next Generation Pinball Machine For Sale:

    Everything is already done or added to this machine. Buy it, Load it, Take it home, and Turn it on!

    This is a great example of the number 3 pinball out of the top 10 Solid State pinball machines in the world written by The Internet Pinball Database website.

    MODS:Romulon Ship Mod w/ LED's, Borg Man Mod w/ Laser Cannon, Klingon Ship Mod w/ LED's, Star Ship Enterprise Mod w/LED's, New style Laser Cannons w/ new cannon covers, and pop bumper Mod Cover under Beta ramp.

    New play field plastics with plastic protection barriers, new Coin Door, New Black Legs, Gold Leg Bolts, New Leg Levelers, Black Leg Cabinet Protectors, New Borg Ship, Pro Speakers w/ Bass speaker Upgrade, All new Ramps(Alpha, BETA, and Delta) including Stickers, new Manta ramps protectors, New Coin Door, New Coin Box, New Coin Registers, all new ribbon cables, New Ball Trough Transmitter and Receiver Boards, new flipper board, new DMD Board, new DMD Plasma screen, New 16 Opto Board, new Mirror Glazed Pinballs, new playfield glass and more.

    This price is Firm! PLEASE, NO LOW BALLERS! Not in a hurry to sell. These games start selling at $4900 in original condition and that's not including any problems or worn out conditions. By the time you repair and upgrade your machine the way you want it, you would have this much money into it, maybe more. I'm saving you the headaches and the wasted time and money having someone fix it and upgrade it for you.

    The original arcade is basically unplayable. This is like the first game with massive frame rate issues. All the knock offs that came after it gained popularity are much better. If you haven't played this since back in the day you'll laugh at how bad it is.

    Yep, I used to own one. The controls are sluggish. Lots of glitches. As far as side-scrolling beat 'em ups go, i've always preferred Final Fight.

    I saw that this morning and thought he may have been smoking a little too much of the medical marijuana. Striker Extreme is a god awful game and worth about $1500 TOPS with LEDS. I have never played a TMNT because I hate TMNT, so I have no clues as to how it plays.

    He may get some responses, but not of the kind he is looking for. Chicago CL is ruthless.

    #1022 8 years ago

    I like how he lists "key fob" as a selling point.

    #1023 8 years ago

    But the game is worth 3950 on e bay....

    Fair description and price, but got to love the cabinet and this write up: sfbay.craigslist.org link

    "This particular machine is somewhat rough. If you're looking for an inexpensive solid-state pinball machine, this is great; if you're looking for a machine to restore, this isn't the one. There is playfield wear, the cabinet has been repainted, and the back cabinet has been repaired from some sort of impact. However, in its favor, the previous owner installed an LED lighting kit, and the hard-to-find central plastic ramp is intact. Most importantly, everything does work, though a couple of the score displays are getting weak.

    What the heck. It's a working pinball machine!"

    What the actual F*** happend to that back box?!? Did someone try to lower it without removing the bolts?

    #1026 8 years ago

    The cabinet repaint is actually kind of nice. It could have been a lot worse.

    Of course the original paint would have been really easy to reproduce with a basic stencil.

    Very rare find in Detroit Michigan 1978 Brunswick ALIVE Pinball Machine:

    Alive Description
    This Game was made while Elvis was still alive and Brunswick couldn't get the rights to call it Elvis so they used an image of a Elvis look alike with a Afro which Tom Jones wore at the time. Both Artists were popular at the time.

    Brunswick, the Alive maker, released 19 different machines in our database under this trade name, starting in 1931.

    Other machines made by Brunswick during the time period Alive was produced include Aspen, Circus, Super Star, Block-A-Shot, Air Handball, Astro Hockey, and Karate.

    VAPS Arcade/Coin-Op Alive Census
    There are 8,159 members of the Vintage Arcade Preservation Society, 6,772 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale. Census data currently includes 108,049 machines (5,111 unique titles).

    Scarce - There are 3 known instances of this machine owned by Alive collectors who are active members. Of these, 3 of them are original dedicated machines

    Wanted - No active members have added this machine to their wish list.

    This game ranks a 0 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most often seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census ownership records.

    He's asking $3999 for this "rare" game that ranks a 0 (the only truthful thing in this ad).

    The part about contacting the guy is the real kicker.

    I have two Pinball Machines for sale, I have had them and taken care of them for the past 21 years. Both are in good working order and have recently had all bumpers replaced and internal boards have been restored professionally within 3 years. They just dont get used anymore and are taking up space and need to go reasonable offers accepted but dont bother low balling me I have had these for 20 years whats another month.

    The cyclone machine is missing 1 sticker that is easily available or you can print yourself and apply to ferris wheel. It features Ronald and Nancy Reagan in the front seat of the roller coaster. This machine is in good working order and can be coin operated if you want We are asking $2000 or best realistic offer for this machine. I paid $1200 to have it completely gone through and new bumpers and a custom motherboard made for it 3 years ago.

    Lethal Weapon 3 With danny Glover and Mel Gibson was also completely gone through all new bumpers and solenoids were replaced as needed and this machine is also in great working order We are asking $2000 or best realistic offer for this machine as well.

    Any questions or to try them please call or email the contact information, please include email address and put Pinball machines for sale in the subject line or we wont respond and it will be instantly deleted. Scammers go away I know your game and will not respond, but will happily forward your information to the FBI internet fraud task force

    Thanks for looking
