Was able to look at a 1980 Gottlieb Torch for sale currently priced at $700.
The Good: overall very good condition operates with no malfunctions (spinner, drops, switches etc all great and very clean internally); backglass is perfect; all boards look brand new and have had grounding wires added; playfield 8 out of 10; guy claims ownership since early 1980's HUO quite possible (been in a finished basement no cabinet fade)
The Ugly: Needs cleaning, wax, new rubbers, some burned out bulbs; Left flipper has worn a small scratch where the tip has rubbed the playfield, has groove on top of playfield from plunges, sound board has the wrong ROM (it's the "R" chip and needs to be replaced with the "P"), there is one broken plastic above the right drop targets (hard to source a replacement); playfield glass is pretty scratched up.
I want to get the price down to $500 to have some money for the sound ROM, broken plastic, rebuild flippers, new rubbers and probably LED's, and I don't know what this machine could/should be valued at. Any input from someone more experienced with System1 pricing is greatly appreciated.
