    Quoted from Dewey68:

    For people who have been there, what is the average condition of these pins?

    I visited in 2019 and it was a mixed bag. Latest pins were naturally in great condition but older games were a mixed bag ranging from good to poor to unplayable. It became clear to me that they just had so many games it was impossible to keep them all running.

    I recall playing Centaur and it was really a poor experience. Basically most vintage games only fixed to the absolute min so you could plunge the ball. This was a museum where you could see them but not a place were games were all tuned up or anything. I remember walking up to Strange World for example, right flipper was hanging limp - unplayable and cab in poor condition.

    Basically for older games expect them to be in routed condition and if it’s better, you’ll be happy.

    My guess is many will be surprised once they unwrap.

    Some of these games are selling for HEP-restored prices for routed quality. I’m just dumbfounded. What strange, alternate world have I warped into?

    If you’re in the pinball restoration business, get ready for all these beaters - once these buyers see what they bought up close, they’ll be looking to you. HEP 4-yr waiting list coming up.
