Quoted from CaptainNeo:Tri Christmas zone. These people need to get out of pinball. NOW!
She probably isn't a collector, so you can buy her out of the hobby right now for $1500:

Quoted from CaptainNeo:with that LED job and player 3 display out, i'm more on the $500 level.
Can't you read?? It says it was refurbished! But if you look at the other photos all displays are working, I think it's the camera not capturing them correctly.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:refurbished from a fully working playable game, into a large paperweight that is now unplayable by anyone.
Refurbished, but they had to sign a waiver saying they wouldnt sue the tech for any blindness caused from the LEDs
Quoted from CaptainNeo:it's justified. what people don't understand, is that you have to change ALL of them. This can take hours. You don't want to spend hours fixing someone elses work, especially if you are paying going rate or more for a machine.
It's like buying a house and someone painted all the rooms blaze orange or hot pink. sure you can paint. but do you want to have to, before you can even move in? Hence why anyone that knows things, tells you to paint neutral colors. not to your "taste".
Well he has 64 machines so he KNOWS how long it take

Im shopping out a Barb Wire for someone and I convinced them to steer clear of color LEDs for the most part. He wants blue LEDs on the top back row of 10 lights above the upper most part of the playfield but that's it. Another game saved from clown puke hell

Quoted from GLSP3022:This one was mine and you know what? That hideous light show sold the game instantly.
Here's how you play this market: take notes.
Less desirable titles, you color bomb, because non-pinheads will be your target audience and they are easily influenced by color.
Classic well liked titles get the white treatment to satisfy the pinball community; the target audience in such case.
I actually do agree with you somewhat. New pinball owners don't know the basics of maintenance and upkeep but they sure do know how to change out the bulbs to color LEDs and make the game look like shit. The flashing colors draw in the lowest common denominator. But at work I always use sunlight LEDs unless Im explicitly told to use colors, I won't let a game suffer this fate in my care

"Recently serviced, Taxi has led, new rubbers and powdercoated legs. Looks and plays great..."
The color LEDs dont even make sense thematically. So fucking ugly. Gray playfield with red and blue lights. Why are Dracula and the taxi driver's outfit green? Why are the tachometers and Pinbot blue?

Heh I recently worked on a Whitewater for a guy. He wanted new ramps, new boulders, new plastic set, LEDs, the whole shebang. I asked him if he wanted color LEDs or white LEDs, and he said he didn't know what that meant, and left it up to me. Thank god! So I put all sunlight LEDs in there. My boss saw the finished product and was like "So no color LEDs, huh? Kinda boring. Y'know that's what these kind of people want, they like the color LEDs and shit like that." I pretty much said if it's up to me, and it really was in this case, I put no color LEDs in games. Saved another one from clown puke hell

Quoted from rotordave:I usually let people do their thing. Whatever makes ya happy.
But as soon as I saw this thing listed for sale in Australia, I immediately thought “Neo needs to be notified!”
I give to you - Blue Chicago.

With EMs it always stings a little more. No game deserves this but definitely not an EM

Paragon doesnt look too bad in comparison to the others. I do see some colored GI, and the multi colored displays do not work with that artstyle, but mostly white in the backglass and playfield is nice. The others are terrible. I personally CAN wait for his other "restores", and the games would be better off if he didnt touch them
