Looks very nice!

Buy it, that puppy is in great shape!

Hey,

There appears to be a very minor amount of wear over the Sanctum area, which is REALLY common in this game. Mine has mylar over it or is a decal (I bought it used, so can't really say). Game looks awesome; just something to watch for/look into preserving.

Great game to do some work on! I think the important aspects get a checkmark here: the puppets are there (all three), the sanctum lock has minor wear. Rings are all present. Wire ramps still look brass colored (careful with cleaning those). Another problem child of TS is the mini playfield, but as you say it plays superb, so that is a check too!

Hey, wait a minute, that almost looks like my TS

But it does need some work. There's rust on the ramp flaps and it looks a bit schmootzy (lack of shine). I would take that baby apart and put some elbow grease into it

So my advice would be: BUY IT! And buy some proper cleaning agent (Treasure Cove!) to polish her up!

It has the rings which is good.
sanctum wear is minor, also good.
I see the mongol figures. good

The big question is are the ramps broken. This game has a nasty habit of having broken at the welds. It can be repaired or you can buy the aftermarket ones which are beefier.

The other is the plating on the wireforms, it looks dull in his pictures. It may shine up with some never dull, or they may be pitted, cannot tell from the pics.

Pricewise? In the us my buddy sold a nice, shopped example with upgrade for around 2k. Not perfect but pretty nice all around. It didn't take very long to sell.

1. Sanctum wear on this looks to be very minimal
2. Mongols are all there which is good because I heard these can run up to $250 so no wonder previous owners would keep them hoping it will go unnoticed.
3. Phurbas are present on the diverters which is good because these are sometimes missing or screw holes are broken off.
4. Rings are there and make sure they work because it is key to certain modes like Vengeance
5. How is the gun shooter? If it is not that great you can always send out to Mike Chestnut who is well known for his work.
6. Upper right ramp looks good or has been replaced and lower left looks to have been repaired or re-welded before.
7. Check boards for signs of past battery leaks or corrosion and hacks on the boards or under the play field.
8. Not sure if it is a bad pic or angle but looks like a minor chip on the left sling plastic.

I picked up a very similar Shadow in the same condition last January for $2400cdn so if you can get it for less or around the $2k mark you should be in good shape.

This game is on the rise for price. Seems its the flavor of the year $2,400 or less

Yeah I would say 2400 or less. Looks great!
