I would say $850-$1000.00.

With lower end (cost wise only I mean by that) DMDs, the price fluctuates so much from area to area. I would say ballpark $1,000-$1,400.

Things to check are the man ramp rope light, which there is no replacement for, and the rear left ramp, which is ALWAYS broken (worst ramp design ever, was recycled from MNF), and there are no replacements, and even old partially broken ones have fetched $200+.

Check the small DMD for gassing as well, as the only solid replacement for these is the pinled LED display, and that will run you about $260 to your door.

There is never wear on this machine. This may be the best looking machine out there all in all, and the light show, attract and in game use of inserts are amazing. It has a handful of modes as well, and given the time when it came out, it was pretty well thought out. It gets a bad rap, but I'm not sure why. Some of the voice callouts are repetitive, and can get annoying, but I like the music.

EDIT: There is wear the happens under the skull, but as its covered, you don't really notice it.

I would say 1k - 1200. As said before, that dmd is tough to find and expensive.

I'll take the chicago coin though.

Definitely make sure that DMD is working 100%.. I think the are closer to $400+ to get a bran new one. I found a DE Batman I wanted from a vendor and it has been nearly 3 months and he still cannot get it fixed... so beware.
I don't think you will find it below $1000. Atomicboys range sounds right.

Is there any way to replace the skull lamps without removing the entire ramp/skull assembly?

Nope... ask me how I know

If you are on the fence about this purchase, I had also contacted the seller. I have been trying to buy hook for my nieces. (each time too late) Let me know if you may back out.

Thanks

I'm about to rebuild the flippers on mine, though all the shots are made easily enough as is... maybe I'm just getting spoiled with Tron in the house?

That's too bad. Evaluating a machine with weak flippers does not give it a chance. All games will play like crap with weak flippers. Man, on a 3 our trip, it would have to be a real piece of crap for me not to come home with something

It comes off very easily from what I remember, but it seemed very fragile.

I have a Hook pinball I would sale and can bring to the Winston Salem NC sale that belonged to Jim the banker. I take a 1000 for it.

Plenty of pics here on pinside under the banker and BR pics

I bought a Hook for my fiancé granddaughter; she loves it. She's 4 now and call's it pirate pinball.

Definitely a fun game for kids.

great game sold mine to a bar for 1200 they love it also

I paid $900 for mine, and then $200 for someone to pick it up in SoCal and deliver it to me in NorCal.

I had to put ~$200 in parts and about 30-40 hours of labor to get it pristine.

i had one, and lost $40. Sold for $700. If you try and get $1000 you'll be sitting on it for years. ANd the displays arn't $400. Those are the large displays. Someone made alt version of these smaller ones and you can find them for $200ish.

I played one for about 5 games at CAX and really liked it. Now, I'm not a pinball wizard by any means and like simple games. If anyone has one local in CA for sale let me know.

Thanks to you and the banker but that drive would kill it for me in my v8 pickup. Nice offer though!
