Looking to get opinions of price range on a Sega Twister. The pictures I have been sent of it aren't the best but it has LEDs and looks to be in good shape without any huge problems. Side art looks to be in good shape no real playfield problems that I can see but the photos are rather grainy and not that great.

I shopped for one of these recently and saw the price range from $1,600 (ok condition but some unknowns on functionality) to $2,000 (Working and clean). This was East coast, your pricing may vary.

Fun game, luck!

Agreed with Rando, I've seen them from around $1,500 - $2,200 depending on condition.

1700-2000

Does the fan work? Clean with LEDs and working fan, $2200.

Clean with LEDs, no fan, $1700 - $2000.

Most important thing does the magnets work? A working spinning disc magnet really makes the game. These have creeped up in pricing in the last 12 months. I would say fully working, complete machine 1800-2200.

^This , I bought my twister machine for 2k in good shape with a working fan but my magnets and discs are not working. Was told just to be the upgraded chip from rompin on ebay for like 15 bucks or some shit. Not the case and now I'm going to be out a couple hundred to get it working right. Make sure if your paying around 2k you have a good condition and good working game.

I spent hours getting my magnets working. I did the service bulletin up date. Tested every pin on the board for correct voltage. Ohmed out the magnets. After several night rechecking every thing I found a cold solder joint on one of the components on the board. Only noticeable with a lighted magnifier. Went over every solder point on the board and have never had an issue in the last three years. Like most buyers of this title I did not know to test the magnets. The skill shot is also all about the magnet on the spinner!

Hey guys resurrecting this thread. Price check Twister -
LEDs, shopped, new rubbers, new spinning disc decal. All magnets, spinner, fan topper work as they should.

Does have minor wear through in a slight spot near the pops and a wear through ball trail in a small spot section (2-3 inches) at the top of the shooter lane. Other than that games has Mylar and is in good condition.

Thanks!
