Yes, Thanks for your suggestion. I had tried to do so; however, all I seemed to find were current prices for old or new machines, not the original prices back when the 1990's pins were new.

Thank you all for your input. These references to other threads are very valuable and assist me greatly in understanding historical pin pricing.
Quoted from Bowlingpin:TAF/TZ were somewhere around $3000-3500
Bill of sale says $3995 for my Family Guy.
I was young but I’ll promise dad didn’t pay that despite the great earnings of TAF. Had a distributor rep in my office last week and we were remembering when I was in high school and MM was clearanced for $1800 and they still couldn’t sell them. TAF was probably $2095 and TZ was probably $2395. I distinctly remember going to the local Gottlieb distributor and loading up 4 Mystery Castles that were clearanced for $795 each. One of the best earners ever!
I guess I should crack open old file cabinets and scan and post invoices but that would require me to not be a lazy worthless operator...
