OP: "Selling off a bunch of project pin ball machines that I'll never get around to doing anything with. My loss is your gain. I've been in the pinball hobby for the last 21 years and I know my way around the games pretty good so if you have any questions let me know. Consider these non working or tested unless noted. They are all projects to varying degrees and each one will need to be cleaned and new rubbers/bulbs etc... and possibly some board work. All come complete with legs and even sometimes the manuals to go with them if I have it. Only the games in this listing are available, regardless of what other ones you see in the pictures.

I had the unit serviced in 2000 and again in 2016 Here is what needs done Unit smoked and burned up a coil and needs replaced and the wiring needs checked

The Left flipper is a little weak and the match does not work. Also needs a few rubber grommets on the one plastic cover next to left flipper I also have the manual which goes With the sale of the unit."

Condition: "Players condition with a very nice backglass (sealed) and a good playfield with a little wear but not bad at all. All original drop targets with the card suits on them.

If you turn it off and back on it play one game, then you need to manually reset bar to start next game. If you are good at fixing these old machines it's a chance to pick up a very desirable machine. I have my eye on a different machine and need them money for that one."

OP: "Hey I've got some pinball machines for sale. I'm thinning the heard a bit so I'll just lost them all here in one ad and update it as needed.

Blue Chip - Works 95% of the way. Only issue is that sometimes when the ball goes into the saucer up top it will stick and register anywhere from 2-5 hits on the bonus. Nice cabinet, playfield and backglass - $500

Phoenix - game plays really well. Has some ball hip coming down the inlanes that makes it difficult to hit the right spinner shot. All displays work, just had it in a tournament and it played great during it. Backglass has some flaking in the skin tones but other than that it's solid. Play field has a little wear but not bad - $800 obo

...Surf Champ - Was working but has recently been stuck in tilt. Haven't had time to mess with it much. Cab is pretty dirty but solid. Play field is not great but it's definitley a players game for sure. Played well when I had it running. $250"
