SOLD!

Bummed to do this, as I just picked this up with aspirations of bringing it back to it's former glory, but it's a little more than I want to take on at the moment.

The good:
Complete pin
Backglass OK (some flaking)
Playfield pretty nice (a few smaller wear spots)
Cheap

The Bad
Some corrosion on the MPU board and on a couple transistors on the lamp board - may be salvageable?
It appears to have been next to a heater for some portion of it's life, as one side is rather cooked - the other sides of the cabinet are still in pretty good shape
Dirty, hasn't been played or turned in a few years at least

The head and legs are off, it's ready for someone to breathe new life into it (or use parts as needed). I'll get some photos this evening if there is interest.

Price is $100 and a 12pack of beer

Sounds to me like 300 bucks in it and someone's got a playable pin. Man, I wish this was closer. /legit.

When you put it like that.... why am I selling this?!

What a great deal. Insist that the 12 pack be an expensive 12 pack.

I don't know. I'm just saying. Stern/bally boards of this era are really cheap, and Barakandl (sorry if I misspelled that) does a fantastic job repairing the ones he sells.

Well, if it doesn't sell I quickly, I will likely go that route - Stars is a really fun pin.

I'd love to have a Stars again! Such an enjoyable pin. If I were in the area, I'd be driving back with your machine!

I heard you went and checked all those pins out, also heard the pins were totally roached.

Yeah, some worse than others. I really like Stars, but after getting it home, I realized it was a bit more of a project than I wanted. Putting it back out there for what I paid - it's a good deal for someone who wants to give it some love!

Anything else decent for a good price? I was under the impression they wanted to sell everything at once.
