    my brother passed a few months ago, he worked for an amusement company for many years.. just found out there are about 30 backglass stashed away in a place we hadn't looked yet, in the Ocala area.. he was there for about 30 years, and dealt with little out-of-the-way bars and girlie clubs all over the central state.. I will be down there in about a week, to take pics and assess the condition, etc.

    looking for experienced dealers / restoration folks to share the pics and discuss with, for potential sale as one lot.. no, this is not a fire sale, but I don't want to transport them or ship them myself

    thanks for all tips and pointers, in advance.. Steve

    Sorry for your Loss Steve. My Condolences.

    The Local Florida Pinball Board, might give you some additional results.

    http://www.villagebbs.com/forum/index.php/board,5.0.html?PHPSESSID=88725889bcefc15fa42f5c1d3a07c458

    There is also the regional Southeast Board, the Bash:

    While an average retail. on an average glass might be $50-$100 as Transport eats things up.
    There could be a few in demand titles.

    30 pieces might easily be absorbed by several people here in the hobby that want to keep all/most,
    and that would produce a higher amount, that one person flipping and shipping.

    Good Luck, I know it is hard to do.

    Best bet would be to find one person or restoration business to come and buy them all. For instance, you might start by calling a place called Pinball Restorations in Eustis Florida. They are not far from Ocala. There is also Rixzilla here on Pinside; he is a great guy and lives a little south of there.

    so, it turns out most of these are from arcade games (sigh), but most of them are in pretty good shape.. 68 pics, too much to upload or email, so I made a page on my web site for this http://www.oasistradingpost.com/cartpages/arcade-lot.htm
