Quoted from jwo825:This could be repaired with about $4 worth of enamel paint and a $10 can of spray clear from the auto parts store. Repaired the spots on FREDDY and Stargate where the ball drops from the wireforms to the inlanes, with this method. FREDDY has withstood over a year of play with no damage.
I'd repair it before trying to sell or else you are going to get lowball offers
What spray clear did you use? A bit off-topic, but I want to repair my headlights and clear the fix, but not willing to spend 300 to have it done at a repair shop

Might give that a try, certainly can't hurt at this point. Spraying clear onto the pf sounds a bit scary..
Quoted from davewtf:take a pic of the two shadows side by side for us.
Shit just got real.

I think I hated Shadow originally b/c a) I sucked at pinball when I first played it and it was a PAPA Circuit event one that was set up hard and b) too much Baldwin
Love the alt translite! Hm it's still for sale eh? See ya at league tomorrow, I'll talk to you about it some

Gene, still available. A few offers today, but nothing solid yet. See you tmrw.
Quoted from zucot:I hope you swap those gun handles!
you want him to take the Mark Chesnutt plated one off the good one and put it on the one he's selling? That's silly.
put the lightning flippers from BSD on that extra shadow just to see how much harder they are to play with. They aren't really supposed to be on BSD.

Mike, Mike Chestnut. And I think you have it backwards, the green gun is on the one he's selling. Basing that on A) He put my translite on, and B) the lockdown bar is chromed.

My bad. Mark Chesnutt is a country singer. lol.
The good (not green) gun is on the one he's keeping. He should keep it that way. Not confused, i am. Or am I?
Quoted from Syco54645:Yeah check flipper area...
Yep. This.
That kind of flipper wear really drag down the price (unfortunitely). Makes me scratch my head as to how it got this bad. Didnt' someone think to adjust the flippers a bit (not op.. but prior owners)?
I'd go $2k tops on this.
Quoted from davewtf:Not confused, i am. Or am I?
Damnit, now I'm confused. Green guns for everyone! 
Quoted from Troutfarm:well I just paid 4500 for one so I dont feel bad about selling this great playing Shadow in the current price range.
I thought you said you already had your "1 time amateur hour mistake"!

Please show me another zero wear clear coated shadow.
Quoted from Troutfarm:Please show me another zero wear clear coated Shadow.
I have one with the original Diamond Plate clear on mine, and I have seen some that were repaired and then re clear-coated. Not that it matters, as a repaired one is just as strong, but did you ever verify if yours had been repaired or not?
I do not know the origins or this PF.
One thing I can say about my machine for sale is that it plays better than the new one. I am going to tweak the new one to be perfect but the machine for sale plays amazing. I can say 100% this machine is not leaving my hands for less than $2500. If I sit on it for a while so be it.
I agree it is hard to part with any Shadow at this point. A repaired, re-cleared playfield may even be stronger than how they were originally. Either way you picked up a very nice example. And I don't see how this one couldn't be repaired and cleared. It shouldn't last long.
Quoted from Troutfarm:Please show me another zero wear clear coated Shadow.
Don't worry about what people say. You are happy with the purchase and that is all that matters. Some people just can't help but to piss on other peoples cheerios. I seen and played your Shadow and it's worth the money. If I already didn't have a nice Shadow I would have got it myself.
Quoted from Troutfarm:I am mixed.. I sort of got use to the green gun. Maybe I will just do my own powder coating on the new one at some point.
Black nickel is the way to go
