Quoted from goodypin18:Bally Mystic Ends in 30 minutes on eBay
Currently at $820, working machine, in Pennsylvania
ebay.com link
I was looking up some game play and found the same machine in a TNT amusements video from 7 years ago
Quoted from FatPanda:Cow Poke
$200

Thank you for posting this, brought home Cow Poke last night! This machine belonged to a very nice man for about 50 years who purchased it when he was 19 for $110. His brothers and dad each chipped in a little to help offset the cost. He showed me how to play the game and I asked what his high score was, he pointed to the backglass where he had a piece of tape with his score and the date written on it- 11,615. It was obvious that it meant a lot to him. He had great memories of it and shared a few of them with me but was ready to pass it on to a new owner. He wanted to make sure it would end up in a good home where it would be played and well cared for and I intend to do that.
Great guy and I'm so glad I got to hear about the history of the machine from him. Wish I would have played a couple more games with him before I loaded it up but didn't want to take up too much of his time. First time picking up a pin from this thread, thanks to everyone who posts their finds here!
2A7B09A0-7DCE-4A85-82D7-4D86C4A62119 (resized).jpegQuoted from Isochronic_Frost:You should invite him to come play it sometime, or perhaps extend an invite to the nearest local pinball show. I’ve done that to several locals I’ve bought games from. You won’t be a nuisance. If they’ve owned a pinball machine for that long, and sold it, usually they didn’t have the skills to fix it, but otherwise genuinely enjoy the game!
Good idea I think I'll do that! Yeah he didn't do much work on it but said he had a local tech come by whenever it needed a tune up until the tech quit making house calls. The only thing not working is the roto target which gets stuck occasionally so I've got to look at that.
Quoted from John_in_NC:Nice story, did you tell him it’s worth 6 or 7x what he’s asking? If everyone left happy I guess it doesn’t matter but you got the deal of a lifetime if you got it at $200.
Actually he brought it up to me, said someone messaged him before me and told him current and restored values. He said he wasn't concerned about the money, what really mattered to him was that it was going to someone who could give it a good home. And yes, I did give him more money than he was asking, he was thankful and asked if I'd have enough money for gas and lunch for the way back.
Quoted from johninc:This might be the greatest thing I've ever read on Pinside. Thanks for posting, and congrats!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed reading it. I'm always interested in the history of the machines I get but rarely do I get this much info. Was a good pick-up for sure!
And just to close this out and get back to the projects, here is the playfield and backglass. Set it up as soon as I got back home and enjoyed a few games with some family. Marker art courtesy of his kids/grandkids haha
