RARE WHITEWOOD 4 SALE

Quoted from boagman:

To be fair, depending on the playfield and the boardset (if the boards are there), that is a bit of an insult.

Quoted from cottonm4:

I spent some time growing up on a farm. My grandpa had cows, pigs, chickens, and horses. Shoveling shit was part of the job description.
Besides, all it would take to ge those pops is to toss the play field to the floor, undo 4 screws holding each pop to the play field and cut the coil and switch wire and drop them into a bucket of water and left them soak for awhile.

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

My parents ran an arcade in the 1980s and 1990s. The absolute low value in machines occurred in the early to mid 90s as machines were aging and there was no internet or ebay to sell them on. You were limited to trying to sell excess in the local paper or putting for sale signs on it, selling it in the paper, or putting it up for auction at a regional arcade game auction geared at operators. In general, operators did not want old games as kids still wanted the latest and greatest. The going price on a galaga or pacman was about $50. It was cheaper to buy a used pinball machine to use for parts than it was to buy new parts for your almost working machine. Nobody saw the value in games that there is today as adults and older folks simply didn't play them and there was 0 home market. It wasn't until people that grew up playing them had their own money that they had any value whatsoever on the secondary market.

Quoted from Apinjunkie:

Foil removed and chewed up, that way you can shape a wad into a fuse shape, don't want to be a hack. Keep in mind this was 25 years ago on a space shuttle machine. You probably wouldn't want to do this with one of the precious snowflakes that we play with today. I still have the space shuttle and before you ask, yes it's properly fused.

Quoted from Velluminous:

Not mine; pics/post stolen from a facebook group.. hope he doesn't mind, but had to share the horror pics! That's a lot of mouse house in that cabinet. Thankfully there is a happy ending, since these machines are being saved.

Quoted from Knxwledge:

Here in SoCal I can get a sheet of playfield glass for $55. Shop around a bit, call for a quote first, as I had people quote me as high as $120. If you grab it locally don't have to deal with shipping which for something like glass is the ideal solution.

Quoted from tomdrum:

Owner stored this outside under a tarp even though he lives in 4K sq ft home with multiple out buildings. At least he kept the Stern JP inside.
