Advice please. Worth shipping in a Bingo to Cali? Extra cost of shipping? But it's a title I've been looking for for 3 years!

Quoted from RyanClaytor:A Palm Springs buried in this recent estate sale:

Getting closer. Might look into this one.

Quoted from bingopodcast:Yes, I think the cab is the correct cab, but colors and stencil have been altered for some reason.
Here is what an original stencil looks like:

Things like the plates surrounding the buttons I believe should not be red.
Wasn't there often more than one paint pattern and color for these machines?

Is this a good player machine..ie...fun to play?
Any quick reviews.
Closet one to me yet, in my backyard. Might try and move on this one. Already emailed and texted, waiting on response. Calling dibs.

She's a little rough around the edges. Backglass has that bad touch up.
What is general opinion on price?
Quoted from bingopodcast:Fully working and in CA, you're looking at some bucks. If the asking is somewhere between $600-2000 you're probably around where I'd expect it to be for your area.
Backglass has fade, cab has been modified with anti-drill plates. The prices above take that into account.
Going to look at it today. They said 1500, but this thing is pretty beat up on all sides. Theres no way i would spend that. Thinking the 600 tops. Im also willing to bet its not fully working.
Quoted from BlackCatBone:Laguna Beach is a nice game, Bally's second title with the orange OK section. This particular sample looks like it's had a hard life. The backglass is very faded out, with the reds mostly gone. Here's a good photo for comparison:

The highest realized price I've seen (it was on eBay) was a Lido in nice condition that sold at $1,600, so $1,500 for this Laguna Beach is a seller's fever dream, imo.
These folks were a joke. Saw machine yesterday. Non working project. Fiddled with it, got a credit via wire on coin door. Got it to eject balls and lights on main board light. But that was it. Screen cards would not move, buttons on lockbar didnt work. Backglass horribly faded and flaking. After an hour they were tired of me, asked if i wanted it. Said no way, to much of a project. If it looked nice, i may of. But to much work for me with the little knowledge i have of these machines.
Quoted from RyanClaytor:How much did they offer it to you for?
I probably could have had it for $300. I reufused to make an offer.
Quoted from ArcadeUpkeep:Where do you folks get new balls for your bingos? I have a few machines that have gotten magnetized and the new ones I got from ebay got magnetized very quickly as well.
Thanks!
Got calipers? What size are they? What machine and year?

Quoted from DCP:Call me Mr. Ambitious! I just took that pile of bingos home from Coinop Warehouse today...there ended up being 15 total. I hope to get a few up and running for us to play, and find good homes for the rest. I will be looking forward to learning all I can about these beasts! It seemed like a decent deal, and I have the space for these to sit around while I figure out what to do with them. They filled up 2/3 of our 20 foot box truck...heavy suckers...
Heads and backglasses look pretty good, cabs are somewhat beat and side rails and lockdown bars are corroded and a couple are missing lockdown bars. Haven't looked inside any yet - many have keys screwed to the top of the heads. I'm hoping there are schematics in at least a few of them.
Titles include 3 Bali, 2 Ticker Tape, Blue Chip, Miss Universe, High Flyer, Nashville, a Sun Valley, and a few others I haven't looked at yet.
All are in need of a lot of cosmetic improvement, but look complete.
We will try to make it to York this fall to meet some of you bingo experts!

Nice Haul!!! If it was on myside of US I might have been very tempted. Saw this ad 2 weeks ago. Was hoping someone would take it on.
Good Luck and please update us here, and make a thread and post link here as well.
Congrats!

I have 4 Bally Bingo's for sale!!!!
Golden Gate, County Fair, The Twist, and Circus Queen.
$1000 bucks package deal. Easy covid free pickup in Anaheim Hills warehouse.
All light projects. All boot up and play, ball lift into shooter lanes works well for all.
It appears only magic screen motors need light wiring fix to work on all.
Prefer package deal.
All cabinets in nice shape, all lockdown bars present. Some keys, most will need locks.

Quoted from bingopodcast:Nice set of machines, but there are way more than 5 silver sails games left! That silver sails has a golden gate playfield.
Appears to be England and already sold.
