Looks really nice, but not "collector" condition by any means. So he is overstating it for sure. Offer him less, money talks.

*edit* why no shots of the upper playfield either? Gotta see that.

I have browsed through the photos and here are some of my thoughts in random order:

- The cabinet is not faded at all! That's great for any TZ.
- Siderails look fine but the legs are a bit rusty
- I hardly see any damage to the cabinet
- Playfield is in very fine shape. No wear at the piano or slot machine scoops.
- All target look clean and again not much wear.
- The blurry pic makes it hard to see if there is any wear around the loop (spiral) magnets.
- Backbox and cabinet are clean inside, a sign of good maintenance. The "subways" under the playfield look very clean.
- Inserts around the door panel seem to be fine. Sometimes these stick out, this game looks to be fine in that area.
- See that shooter lane photo? This game hasn't seen that many games, hardly any wear.

All in all, I would say this game is in pretty nice condition. It always hard to judge from photos and you should play the game to check for errors (and check the DMD), but the game looks good from what I have seen.

As for the price. It seems a bit steep. Our price index has the estimated price of this machine between $2870 and $3330 (Based on 85 auction results). If the game is in 100% working order you could offer up to (but no more than) $ 3500. Well, that's my 2 cents.

Looks really good! I think in this case I would buy it

Once you get one pin, you can't stop fusion301. They multiply. You should know this by know.

GL on your TZ!

i SWEAR that price said $3795 last week. in any case, you may be able to talk him down a little bit.

i played it and to me, it seemed flawless (he has 2 of them i guess, and that is the exact one i played in the pics). however, this is just after playing one at an arcade that has seen better days, so my judgement may have been skewed. at any rate, it was nice enough for me to consider selling my motorcycle at a loss to buy it (then i came to my senses). i am pretty sure you won't be let down with it, but obviously the better deal you get, the happier you will be with it.

by the way, i may be able to swing in there again sunday and do a serious buyer's inspection.
