3 games in Syracuse:

"Three pinball machines. One is Gottlieb, Super score, one or two players, works for $400, Another is Williams, Palooka, works for $400. The last one is Gottlieb, King Arthur, non working, needs to be restored for $150.00.
Also have Roller Bowlers, believe they came from Sylvan Beach."
Seems worth pursuing!
(The Super Score looks repainted, but the Palooka might be nice)
Apollo for $300 in San Fran:
sfbay.craigslist.org link
(Guessing it's repainted)
Midway Race Way for $3800 in Boise:

"Have about twelve old full size arcade games that were left in a property I just acquired. I need them removed by tonight or they are going to the dump. I don't know anything about them, they are very dusty and look to have been here over twenty years. I see a packman joust warlords tron sprint spy hunter qbert 720 buggy and two I can't get to. There are a few pinball machines way in the back too but I can't see what they are. You must take everything, no pickers."

someone has to be close enough to at least go look...
Quoted from ccotenj:i wish i could afford one of these... i think they are WICKED cool...
Me too. You see some crazy asking prices on them. I can't believe anyone is going to pay $3800 for one with a bad back glass? I'm not sure that very nice but insanely priced Flying Turns on Ebay is helping matters.

yea, i've never seen one without a crazy asking price, regardless of condition... not that they show up all that often...
went and looked for that "flying turns"... it is VERY nice but it is VERY insanely priced, i agree... although given the seller, probably not surprising...
In 2008 one (Race Way) sold at an auction I was at. It needed a back glass badly. It went for $800 if memory serves me and I thought it was a hefty sum at the time. Everything is relative though as a friend bought a project Skill Roll that day for $400.
I was at an auction last year where a Flying Turns sold for 2500 (I bailed at 2000). Phone bidder drove it way up, otherwise I think I'd have had it for 1200. Friend of mine here got it though, but he later resold it for only a bit more.
There was a very nice Race Way on CL in PA last year for ~1800 (IIRC), that lingered awhile before selling.

No kidding!
A pair of them sold on eBay recently for only $250.
Gottlieb Target Pool in Twin Falls Idaho $650

Quoted from mstire:Gottlieb Target Pool in Twin Falls Idaho $650
Seems like that's been up for sale before...
Quoted from DirtFlipper:There are a few pinball machines way in the back too

WOW.
Quoted from ccotenj:someone has to be close enough to at least go look...
I'm close enough, but I don't have enough time, nor any way to move them, nor anywhere to put them. But man, if I did!
Quoted from ccotenj:that looks pretty cool, but it's gotta be a BEAR to move...
Once you slide the nuclear core out of the base, and take out the playfield, and remove the head, it's not that bad, really

Rent a storage locker
Quoted from AlexF:I wonder if that was the Short Stop Deluxe that was on Mr. Pinball next to it. Missing the lockdown and pitching motor or something. Good thing it's so far away.
i was wondering what that p&b standing there might be...

Quoted from leckmeck:GTB King Arthur for $150. No pictures!
syracuse.craigslist.org link
Also: WMS Palooka for $400 and GTB Super Score (with defiled cabinet) for $400.
Still there!
Oh well, now there are pics for posterity.
I inquired about the Palooka today, but haven't heard back. I studied the fuzzy pictures a bit and suspect the back glass may have some issues the seller either isn't aware of, or chooses to ignore in his description...... 
Quoted from o-din:That don't need no restoration.
I was just gonna say, compared to mine that one don't need much!
Quoted from leckmeck:$375 Big Ben in FL:

There's a glut of these two games on CL across the US.
Rumor is Big Ben Revisited.. shhhh
I have one sitting in my garage, every time I look at the playfield I say meh, and go back inside.

Big Ben is a good source for:
Lock Down Bar, Coin Door assy, Score Motor, Drop Targets, Odd Jet Bumper Caps.
Otherwise, there is not much value in one as a whole.

I originally bought it to convert to a virtual pin for those reasons. Just haven't had to heart to do it. Maybe if I played it then it would be easier to dismantle.
after reading the above posts regarding big ben, i had to go read the reviews on IPDB. pretty harsh ratings. too bad, i like the artwork and theme.
Mystery machine lot of over 150 games in Boise, ID:

The art is pretty cool, has a cool 70's british theme, Maybe I can make a nice clock out of the playfield.
EDIT: Also of note is that it's a Christian Marshe theme, same guy who did the pointy people.
