Quoted from Gerry:

My first one was a turd, and it turned me off..
I played a nice one, that played kinda good, and i thought there was some hope..
Now i have another, and i'm gonna hotrod it a bit, and see how snappy i can make it without loosing its playability...
Its in line for its redo, when done i will do a vid for all of you guys to see...

Would enjoy an accounting of what you go through to soup-up your World Series. Just starting to revive the twin: Grand Slam, from the dead and might want to do some of the same.

Quoted from textrivers:

Speaking of which, will someone please buy this Klondike for $500 already? I'd love to go get it myself, but you know: space, money, and the Mrs.

Wondering if anyone has eyeballed this -- it has been on CL for months, since Feb or March at least, price seems ok, what could be wrong with it that it has sat so long? Was thinking about looking into it, maybe could dicker a little, but was unexpectedly offered up another machine, closer & less money from a pinsider -- so I snagged a nice OXO from a quality guy . . . but as I left the house Sunday for this weeks work the wife asked if I was going to take a couple of days of this week like last to get another machine. She may not have meant it but I take that as a green light!! So if this was up to snuff . . . hmmmm.

Quoted from orangestorm87:

This being my first attempted PIN purchase

. . . and you do have room for the two or three that will soon join the first, right?

For some reason they never stay alone!

Quoted from 1974DeltaQueen:

That royal guard is a steal at 250

Quoted from gottem:

Guess what? It's already been around the block a few times too. At least the third relist. Somebody just go get it already. Please!

Well I just happen to be in the area with my empty van so I took that as karma and went to take a look.
Opinion please.

Playfield was ok, some wear between the slings and most inserts.
Missing the left snap target.

Backglass - the reds gone as typical in the title and the guards coats. Some yellows also.

Cabinet had been repainted by hand - freestyle. Not horrible but the colors are all off a shade or two, some blue and red edges are a bit jagged and no webbing.

Play was ok, all seem to work - was not level or pitched correctly but everything seemed reasonable.

So I think the 250 is about its top value as a player, maybe a tad high due to bg and cab paint. Would prob need to stay about as it is as I have no time to redo the cab and don't think the value is their to do a bgrestoro. The space I have is getting full and something will need to leave soon. Thoughts.

And Yankees fan in central Maine, who knew! - ball caps not included.

Thanks

Tom

Webb or maybe shay did a royal guard but no longer listed so I assume they are gone. So either I would live with or bgresto as I would only make it worse - the enemy of good is better.
