Quoted from BlownXstr:Soon enough, with all the mods, LED's, powder coating and other individualistic changes made to pinball machines, an original, unmodified, untweaked version will be worth more than all the banal modified machines could ever be.
Seriously doubt an original unmodified, decades old, machine would be worth more.
The great thing about the pinball hobby is if you buy a machine that has mods not to your taste, take it apart and make it how you want it.
Playing pinball holds my attention for maybe 30 min but taking them apart, restoring, and modding can keep me occupied for days.
I had Robert do a couple of Aprons and coin doors this year and they look fantastic!
