"Working when stored, all have been sitting for in excess of 5 years. All of the pinballs have been operated in the past and in the expected condition." Notice he didn't post them as working. Five non-working projects for $8,500? I see $10,500 worth of pins, IF they're fully working and in really nice shape. I'm not sure where he's gong to find someone willing to pay $8,500 for that.

Regarding the Quick Draw. I looked and it's 450+ miles one way from me or I would have already loaded it up at that price.

Me too

Third that owned quick draw in the past. Wish it was closer for that price.

Is there anyone in the group in the Tampa area that isn’t interested in this but can bring it to me at SFGE next month?

It was posted at 10 grand previously as well. That is a lot of money to get into pins that all need quite a bit of work. He outright says the playfields are toast on two of them.

OP:Williams pin ball machine worked when moved got to new home and wouldn't turn on don't know what's wrong with it

Not even that....Pinside's price on HD is not correct. For the "Stern" 1999 version, it lists the 2003 Stern Whitestar price. The 1999 version in this ad which is basically the Sega game when Stern bought them out, is worth $1700 at most. So, in reality, about $9000 worth of games, worth about $6000 as a lot.

I was just thinking I’d give him $6K cash for them lol

Damn, If I wasn't so lazy today.....

Well, that's a new one.

It is just an itty bitty 150 mile drive. Please tell us you have real crappy highways in your neck of the woods. Or something. It is certainly not a "bridge too far"

I was prepared to drive 1,800 miles this weekend to pick up a grail pin. Luckily/unluckily it didn’t pan out

Now THAT’S dedication. Let us know, if you can, what title would drive you to travel that far.

Centaur. Of course I would have driven that far for an inexpensive Star Gazer or a Quicksilver also

I agree with every part of that...well, at least the first two.

Quicksilver is fun if you like a brutal short lived game. I'd rank most difficult early solid state games: 1) Flash Gordon, 2) Quicksilver 3) Paragon
I own all three

Dayum, now I really feel lazy. The Melody was probably under 100 miles.

It's been a rough month though, I just couldn't get motivated, but Idid pass the lead to a fellow insider who went to get the game. Apparently it wasn't worth the $$$ for him, so he passed. It's since been sold.

Gary wasn’t too lazy to make the drive. I’ve been a little lazy myself lately too. He grabbed it. Texted me earlier.

Interesting is the correct word. Those things look in well above $100 each condition.
If I were on The Island I'd take a chance, but I'm not a road warrior on a gamble today.

No guts, no glory

Someone will have a good day getting this deal.

I have already had 2 of the 3 titles so little interest, though I do miss Space Odyssey time to time.

I have a friend who needs a Hocus Pocus back glass. If the glass on this one is good, that's worth $100.00.

OP:
LC: Partially working project. Starts a game and plays but won't always advance between balls. Backglass has some flaking and fading in the reds and some cracks on the paint along the bottom. Playfield has ball swirl but little wear. Cabinet has extra bolt holes and a few scrapes. Bottom has been replaced, seems solid. Legs are rusty, needs feet.

Gottlieb Super Score, all fixed up and working good. Playfield cleaned, new rubbers. Backglass has flaking on one of the girl's red shirt, rest is in pretty good shape. Cabinet paint is flaking. Playfield is very nice, pretty much no ball swirling or anything. Plastics are all good, but dead bumper cap is melted (PBR has replacements).

Project Gottlieb Flipper Clown wedgehead. It was fully working and shopped, then I sold it to someone on CL. A year later they returned it saying it stopped working. Some of the wires going to the score relays are cut, and one of the scoring bells is missing. Cabinet paint is flaking and the bottom isn't the best. Backglass has some flaking around the edges that has been filled in with black paint, but presents pretty well. Playfield and plastics are in pretty good shape, some wear around pops. Haven't had the time to even plug it in, would rather get it to someone who can give it the attention it needs. Comes with some spare parts (relays, etc), schematics.

OP: Warwick, RI - Worked decent but then the ten score reel will lock on after a few hits. This is a project machine, includes glass, lockdown bar and new rubber kit. Good action on the pop bumpers and the ball save posts all work. Plastics are complete and none are cracked.

Was going to go through and clean the contacts but I am picking up a Gottlieb Wedgehead Project tomorrow and need the space.

I don't disagree but every once in awhile fate does toss you a bone.

Picked up a pair of genuine HUO wedgeheads a few years back from LI for very reasonable money.
