It's either taken or landfill by now, that appeared yesterday.

Hard to tell from the pics but looks like the backglass may have been decent.

Most likely just needs a couple of fuses

Needs work? I think it looks ready to play.

Too bad someone didn't get the serial #. Scratch that one off as gone forever.

Hopefully it gets into the hands of a quality restorer. If not, perhaps it will be found as a regular CL listing for a good deal. An easy way for someone to flip a few bucks.

certainly could offer many good parts to get other projects going!

Hopefully the bottom motor board is still attached. The front on the game is an easy fixed.You never know it could have a beautiful backglass and playfield. If it was close to me i would have gobbled that game up. The Add a Ball guys have that game at the top of the wedgehead list. I hope it didin't get trashed.

Probably the guy who listed it on Cl put it there loading the dumpster and couldnt lift it to put it in. Looks like the bottom of the cabinet took a hit. A shame.

Oh gosh! I hope someone grabbed this. What a shame!

Miles wise, it's not out of reach for me, but traffic and hassle wise; fuggedaboudit! If I could be assured that it's still there, I'd seriously consider it. It's almost surely gone though.

Yes........... hard to believe they would dump the Backglass and Playfield.

UPDATE: I called someone who is fairly local to the area. He went there, and sadly the "Subway" has perished. He said they broke it up and threw it in the dumpster. I asked him if the playfield was salvageable, but he said there were bags of cement and all kinds of tile and debris on top of everything. I do believe however that someone managed to get the backglass and some other parts before it was thrown into the dumpster. I woke up early this morning, and it was on my mind. If I had known for certain that it was still there, I would have gone down and rescued it. It's really sad. Yeah, it's just a pinball machine, and because it's no longer in circulation it might raise the value of mine slightly, but I'm still really bothered by this. Mine could have used a better playfield, and I have a feeling that aside from the cabinet, this game was not really bad. Shoulda, shoulda, shoulda!!!!
Yeah, I shoulda gone down there as soon as I saw the posting and tried to rescue it! Oh well.

The heartache. I say we go to the construction site and teardown their progress.
