I bought mine new in 2002 from ICE. It still looks new as it only has been at my home. My kids both played hockey and enjoyed the game. Lots of fun. I would not sell mine for $1500. I think the cheapest you will buy a new one shipped will be close to $3k. The home version does not have the coin mechs and is only a few hundred cheaper. You definitely want to buy one that has been in someone's home and not a bar / arcade. People tend to beat the snot out of these games by picking them up and slamming them down with the handles, etc. I looked at many used ones before simply giving up and buying new since nobody was listing HUO machines.

Yes, that is a nice feature. Mine has it and I believe it came out when the scoreboard design was changed in the late 1990s. There is a Magnetic senor under the playfield around the goal area that detects the puck. It is called an "OH" sensor since it also triggers the "OHHHH" audio track just like a real hockey crowd does when there a a good shot on goal. The game is a lot of fun. Mine does not get much play, but when it does get played people always have a smile while playing it and as they are walking away. Classic.

No, that is incorrect. They are $2,695 with curbside delivery for the coin-op version. Add another $100 for the split base if you want to get it through a door less than 32". The "home only" version is $2,495. If you want NHL, Can vs USA, or team specific it is $3,195.

Anyway, pristine used units sell quickly for $2k, especially right before Christmas. The worn out rough machines bring over $1k consistently.
