Contact/Link: ebay.com link: WILLIAMS 1977 SS HOT TIP Horse Racing PINBALL MACHINE Vintage from Estate
OP: From a local estate cleanout. Previous owners claims that machine was in operational order in 2017 when stored. We plugged in and it powers on, lights up, and left flipper responds. We do not know much about these machines and were unable to get it to play.
Condition wise case would rate a cosmetic 7.5 out of 10. Overall very clean with minimal scuffs and marks.
Playfield rates an 8 out of 10. Paint is intact, shows very little wear or damage.
Looking inside all components appear clean, intact, and complete.
Backglass is in need of some restoration. 2 larger areas of paint loss, primarily in the green field areas. (See Photos). One or two smaller spots the size of a nickel that also are in need of touch-up.
We have done our best to provide clear and accurate descriptions and photos. However, since this machine is not currently playable, it is sold as-is and as-found from local estate. As such there are no warranties or returns expressed or implied.
Starting price is reflective of both running/mechanical order and cosmetic defects. The machine has an approximate value of $900-1350 in restored condition and our bid is fair based on the potential work it needs. Please do not contact with lowball offers.
We cannot wrap or carton this piece for shipping. However, we are willing to work with buyer's choice of blanket wrap or furniture mover. Rick Ships LLC & Plycon are trusted sources that we have used in the past for fragile items and you are more than welcome to contact either for a quote. Our shipping address is in zipcode 21620 and it is a commercial business.
Machine is available for on-site inspection prior to bidding in Chestertown, MD.
