Quoted from jrpinball:This is just beyond bizarre
That's way too much for a skunk. I can get skunks around here for half that at least...though the nice skunks do tend to show up on the coasts.

My game room is looking sparse.

I know the feeling, lack of funds will do that to a collection.

You just don't see this everyday for sale. Good luck those that have a Dimension and would like to have a NOS playfield.
Here's a nice backglass for a Fast Draw to replace one that may be roached in someone's current machine.

Would really like this but on the wagon!
Only 470 made, lovely condition, bit of cabinet fade.

I just helped sell a Mini Cycle for a friend a few months back and he got $500 for it.

Yupp, that's a $500 game IMO
Quoted from stashyboy:An honest price for that title, looks like it was in nice shape!
The backglass was a nice original and the playfield and cabinet were pretty decent too. Price is about right.
I do like the retro mini-cycles though along with my retro snowmobiles on Snow Derby.

2495 for a planked out P.O.S. playfield. Overpainted slop webbing. Coin door and chute look like crap as well.

Sad thing is, he'll likely get his price from someone who doesn't know any better...... 
150 dollars!! Not bad for a project with a nice playfield and great backglass. (so tempting)

Don't think I'd go above $300 on a machine in that condition. That's a player.

Wow, how has someone not snatched this one up yet? Happy Clown is a really fun game and the important parts are in excellent shape.

Those later 70's games weren't on location as long and you tend to find nicer playfields in a lot of them.
Quoted from hoov:Those later 70's games weren't on location as long and you tend to find nicer playfields in a lot of them.
I put in an offer and will see what happens. What gives me pause is that the last Jungle Queen I looked at was in great cosmetic shape, but had 4 dead flippers and the jones plugs were shot on it. It also had a number of shot coils because someone decided to use a jumper instead of trying to diagnose why a specific fuse bank kept blowing. This might be that same machine since it was in the same general area and I have too many project machines in disrepair that I can't get rid of.
It is always a tragedy when this happens to a machine-looks like considerable water damage!!

The sad thing is it is probably sitting outside and has been rained on a bunch of times.
JohninNC you may wanna bid on this one. The game is very nice except the PF is a 6 at best. You could take the PF from the 150 dollar Happy Clown you just bought and drop it in this game and be plug and play. 
Just a thought. The game is in Kentucky. (close enough I hope)

You can take your conductors off of the hold relay and splice them straight through to bypass the relay and your game will still work. I think Clay made mention of this somewhere on pinrepair.com if I remember. That contiuous duty coil seems to burn up a lot from the heat generated from being held in all the time and some feel it is not needed. So they just leave the relay in place, unsolder the conductors, and splice them straight through.
Not something I do........I like original..........

I remember him talking about it on the dvd. His reason is so that when you turn on the game the lights come straight on and no annoying buzzing!

That and guys were cheap so why buy a coil and wait for it to arrive if the current one is toast?

I have been watching those 2.... I want a flip a card but don't want to drive clear across the state
Great games both. Yeah, it's a haul though. But part of the fun is going all that way to get ' em and then having a story to tell.

I want a flip a card as well, one of my favs from my youth. Had one but it was too much a project to get perfect. LMK if you have one with good potential, maybe we can work something out.

Obviously, it will need a plastics set and possibly a backglass. But it has pretty nice colors, just bad in the Name reds like usual. Too bad there aren't better pictures of the cabinet and coin door condition. But the playfield looks pretty darn nice.
