Quoted from bluespin:

I’m surprised that the ad is still up.

Quoted from shimoda:

Always so far away and one of my long sought titles
Don’t imagine anyone near San Antonio would drop to Fastenal

The ad may still be up but out of morbid curiosity I emailed them late Sunday. No response.

15 minutes from work. I would think the cost should be less because it does not function

When was the last time you saw an earthshaker below $2k? I don't think that sounds unreasonable.

Per seller, "game boots up into attack mode"

Might want to shave off another $500 if I'm going to get attacked after I turn it on

I'm not good with pricing on these older games. I did just buy a Jokerz for 1k that just needs small tune up and the boards are clean.

As was commented in another thread, this is a good game to get for this price. People take the DMD and WPC boards out of this for use in other machines.

(and yes I don't usually endorse cannibalism, but sometimes you have to do so...)

I’d buy it if it was local, and not part it out.

Any idea how I could track down a head for a Williams system 6 pin?

Is it more than a day’s drive from Dallas?

#16982 3 years ago
Quoted from undrdog:

Is about 20 min outside Lexington, Kentucky.

#16983 3 years ago
Quoted from JT-Pinball:

My wife put it in perspective: for one more hour's drive, we could be in Crested Butte.

Lmao. Yes and on the way home you could be in possession of a vintage Bally bingo machine that needs some one to love it again!

#16985 3 years ago

Kentucky is not en route from Dallas to Colorado. Alas!

I’d be glad to give a deserving bingo a good home, but not for a road trip that far.

#16986 3 years ago
Quoted from ralphwiggum:

Nugent currently going for a fair price in TN. Auction closes in a few days, but Goodwill auctions tend to go for undermarket prices.

this ended up going for over $1100. I went up to $800 and bailed.

#16987 3 years ago
Quoted from FatPanda:

Go ahead, you try. This guy has been stringing me along all frickin day on this. I finally told him I was out, no longer interested. Seems like he is playing off several buyers agianst each other. No thanks, bye.

At 6am I offered his asking price , no questions asked, I will take it.
About 8am he replies, Where do you live?
I tell him a few hours away
Asks when can you pick it up?
Now!
I can't, it's at my father's house.
Ok, Sat morning.
Nah, have a wedding this weekend.
Ok , next Saturday. I will send you a deposit right now via Paypal.
Oh, weekends are good.
Ok, can I send you a deposit?
Let me get back to you after lunch.
Ok.....3 hours pass
How would I get the deposit?
Do you have a paypal account?
Yes, I do.
Ok I will send you $300 right now and have cash in hand for pick up.
2 more hours pass and Finally I just said forget it.

This took 12 hours to have this conversation, but he was reading my messages right away.

I hear ya! I have to get another game from him Friday. Any idea what it us worth? Is it worth saving if its complete? I work on SS games and have not touched an em.

#16989 3 years ago

I don’t know. I have one early SS, Mystic, and I’ve gotten my EM Heat Wave lit and playing. That's about all I know.

bingopodcast could probably shed some light.

My big concern would be whether the coin chutes work / could be restored. You don’t need a coin chute on a traditional home pinball, but the whole point of bingo is putting in coins to get more balls.

You should have told him some friends told you that this pin is a must have, you don't want to miss this chance and bump your offer way up. And then disappear.

Nope, I have a bogus Facebook acct that I will do that with.

Quoted from undrdog:

Condition and location are key. If the machine has a perfect, unfaded backglass and solid cab art that hasn't been covered with anti-drill plates then it is obviously going to be worth more to a prospective buyer, just like on any pinball. How much? Well, that depends on the area of the country. Woodrail games (like this) seem to be more commonly found on the West Coast. They have a lower value there. On the East Coast, though they are harder to find, the value of the early games is around maybe $800 for a perfectly working specimen in great shape. If it is broken or don't function properly, many people are scared to even open them, so the value drops sharply. They are easy to repair, though, generally speaking, especially for an early game like this one.

Regarding the coin question, you can strap bingo pinballs for free play as well. I do that on some games and for customer requests. I always do it when bringing to a show. It's actually pretty easy to do on Yacht Club (Bally added extra circuitry later to prevent certain types of cheating). The coin mechanism from the factory would have been for nickels, and if the nickel mech is there, those are a bit harder to find these days, and probably the hardest part to source. The rest of the coin door stuff is pretty heavy duty/well guarded (they used microswitches even back in the 50s), so I wouldn't expect there (and have never seen) a really super destroyed coin door area. I've replaced one broken microswitch in my years of working on bingos.

As far as gameplay, Yacht Club is one of my favorites - it stands out for the complexity of play. For an early 50s machine, there's a bit happening that takes a minute to wrap your head around.

Each bingo card is 5x5 - pretty simple, right? On Yacht Club there is a 5x9 grid, which has two vertical, illuminated lines to mark the currently selected card. The number layout changes at player control during the game (until you shoot your fourth ball). This gives a tremendous number of potential choices for the player to make after shooting each ball. There are also other features like super lines (red or green) that will allow you to win 4 in a row scores for placing 2 in the red row, or 3 in a row scores for placing 2 in the green row.

Extra ball buyin, guaranteed advancing odds (they will never go back on a coin play) round out the package. Really worth a play if you haven't tried one.

If someone picks this up and needs help getting it going, we have a dedicated bingo pinball area on pinside with a lot of very very knowledgeable bingo restorers. I also chime in as time permits.

Thank You! And Thanks to undrdog the game looks complete and I did not notice any thing weird on the sides of the cabinet. The head was off the game but backglass was there amd looked to be in good shape. I was unaware of the coin mechs so I didnt really look at it. I didnt get into price on this game with the owner. I honestly didnt know if it was worth 50 bucks or 50K. I suspect the owner woukd take a fair offer. He did for the two other games I picked up. Maybe I'll just offer the guy a 100 bucks and see if I can get it going

Capitol online auctions has a LW3 and a Valencia (Williams 4 player EM) in an auction that has a good number of video games, some slot machines, a bowler and other arcade related stuff.
