Yes, it's expensive. Open to trades and cash. $5,500

This is a Bally Paragon with many hours dedicated to restoring almost to collector quality.

Here's a list of what is included:
- restored, touch ups, and auto clear playfield
- original cabinet in super condition
- near perfect backglass
- new playfield plastics
- new clears with restored polished bells
- new playfield parts including red posts, pop bumper caps, chrome nuts, flipper bats
- LED lamp board
- LEDs
- rebuilt flippers
- upper and lower playfield parts were stripped from and cleaned and polished
- new playfield glass
- will add new stainless legs and levelers.
- will add new spinner decals
- original boards except lamp for LEDs

Pick up only, will not ship.

I don't mean this as a crappy comment, this is meant to be constructive and helpful:

That machine will look so much better if you take out all those color matched LEDs. And I think just about anyone who's a prospective buyer for a restored game of this vintage is going to feel that way. It would probably present a lot better for them without. It basically ruins the artwork, and that's a shame on such a nice looking pin.

Your game though, your call. Just a classic game, and so nice to see it in good shape.

Thanks for the feedback. I may just do that and switch to at least all white LEDs

Warm white or retro will look better than natural white too.

Thanks for everyone's advice. I plan to use the warm white retro for play field GI and white frosted for backbox.

I now have two 100% working Paragons and I'm putting the finishing touches.

Here are some recent pictures of the lockdown bars all cleaned up and polished.
