I've got a line on a SW (DE). On the plus side, it has LEDs installed and playfield is in good shape. On the minus, it has (1) a potentially serious wiring issue -- sounds like the GI wiring has been hacked into some other wiring to get it to work and if you wire it properly only 1/2 the GIs work; (2) some broken plastics (Jabba's Bounty, Mil Falcon, Boba Fett and IG-88) that will be hard to find (IG-88 $12, Falcon $22, Jabba as part of set of plastics $50 and can't get Boba); (3) an R2 unit that works, but apparently was filled with some hot glue to get it to attach it at one point (not sure about this as I haven't seen it) and while it still works, likely has some cosmetic issues as well and seems to be very hard to replace; (4) playfield mylar that is bubbling up in at least one place; and (5) a cabinent that has some mismatched touch-up paint. I've talked the guy down to $1600, which still seems high to me for the work that is going to have to go into it. Any thoughts on what is reasonable and whether I'd be a fool to take on these issues for anything more than $1500?

Thanks SC - I was willing to go $1300 and maybe $1400 on it purely for nastalgia -- I grew up standing in huge lines to see the three original movies and had the first four original figures through a cereal box top mail in offer (luke, leah, darth and chewie). Just not a pin that comes up much in Oregon/Washington. I left my offer open at $1300 and told the guy to call if he changes his mind.

Went that route with him SealClubber -- he agreed that it would fetch $1800 in great shape on the high end. We just differ as to how much it should be dropped down for pieces that you may or may not be able to get and a wiring issue that he admits he and a friend were unable to resolve. I'll let him sit -- if he sells it, good for him ... if not then we may have a conversation again in a few weeks. Haven't played the pin -- was willing to pull the trigger purely for nastalgia and the fact that I'm sure my kids would love it.

Thanks SC - I'm in Portland, Oregon, so trying to limit any drives to a few hours. May be finally heading down to Medford/Ashland to pick up the World Cup Soccer I almost bought a few weeks ago. That's a 4 1/2 hour drive each way, which is about as far as I'll go.
