Saw an ad for a Fireball II. I like Fireball II, but the main issue is that the playfield is busted bad. Here are the details that the seller provided.

"Players condition. Everything works.Has scuffs on the side. Play field and backglass in decent shape. Multi ball. Some new boards( see pics). Sometimes while playing the game will reset??? Not sure what's up. $1000 obo. Local pickup only. "

What do you guys think? I've been looking for my first pin for a while now, but haven't been able to close a good deal yet. I can use a soldering iron and meter, and my dad is an amusements tech, so some fixing is okay, but I don't want to have to take on too big a job or pay too much.

That's good in theory, but I don't know that I'm ready to tackle a playfield swap. Unless the playfield was all ready populated, I'd say the task was beyond my skills at this point. My dad has a lot more skills in that area than me, and could help quite a bit, but I'm not sure. It sounds hard to the layman. My thinking is I might only keep it for a while, and then pass it on as a project pin for someone who wants to tackle that playfield. But you never know how these things will turn out.

Thanks, I'm still debating what to do. Another pinsider fairly near me, mentioned that he might have a nicer FBII to sell. But I don't think he's 100% yet, so that's another wrench in the works. Cuz I'd really rather have a FBII with a nicer playfield, but if this one is the only reasonable option, then I don't want to pass it up. We'll see. I'll think on it some more, and maybe the other pinsider will get back to me.
