A friend located a Williams Indiana Jones in one of his friends basement and passed along the info.. of course I inquired if they would like to sell it, and they are interested in doing so.

Game has been in their basement for about 10 years, and they say it's working 100% (but I'm thinking they don't know any better when it comes to testing it). I got a couple of crappy cell phone pics, and the cabinet is definitely faded all the way around. The pics of the playfield are so bad that I will have to see that in person, but when asked if there is any wear spots they are telling me no.

What should I be looking for on this game? I'm not too familiar with it. Not sure I want another restoration project at this point, either, but if the price is right I may jump on it. They did say "these sell for $4K on ebay!", so I honestly don't know if I will be able to talk some sense into them and be able to get it for a more reasonable price.

What do you guys think? Are all the replacement parts available for this game? What about decals?

All the plastics and decals are available (parts are not hard to find). I would say low $3k range is a fair offer as described with the uncertains (if the playfield is super nice, then go higher). Things to look for are if the big 3-D plastics are broken, if the idol works, if the upper playfield moves correctly, strong flippers to get up those steep ramps.

I just bought an unrestored routed IJ a few months ago. Non working, but physically in great shape with no noticable wear on the playfield and very little cab fade if any. It cost me 2800.. the most i've paid for any game so far.. but like most machines i've restored that came off route... the problems were pretty simple, standard issues (optos, caps, dmd HV out, mini playfield issues, FILTHY).

If it hadn't been in great physical shape... i probably wouldn't have gone over 2k. Just check it out.. figure out how much your going to have to spend to get it up to the same condition as one of those "4k dollar machines". Cab decals, plastics, motors, ramps... parts add up very fast.
