So i bought one about at the beginning of September for $1300. It wasn't mint but it was in pretty good condition. Bought it and literally the first game played at my house the sewer shot burnt out. The game is super easy and has nothing for it all ramp. I'm a humongous ninja turtle fan and i felt disappointed by it. It was my first pinball and when i went to york show and got to play other pinballs i thought wow none of these have the issues the tmnt pin have and its much more fun. If you do plan to buy it realize this. A lot of the pieces on that pinball are extremely hard to replace. The clear ramp is notorious for breaking and replacements arent made so if that ramp breaks the only way to salvage it is to vampire it off another playfield. A lot of tmnt pins that clear ramp is being held together by tape, glue you name it, mines particularity was held by metal that was covering a giant hole. Another thing to watch out is the shooter rod is a unique length and for a lot of the machines its not powerful enough to shoot the ball into the playfield. Mines had that as well. I put a stronger spring on and it still couldn't get it in the field properly. I had it about a month, sunk a lot of time and a bit of money into it and the game refused to work so i sold it, broke even and am putting that money towards a MM. I'm not trying to sink your bubble I wanted more than anything to get that pin working but you need to know unless your getting it pristine and barely used your going to be spending a lot of time fixing it. Only data east game i recommend is Star wars
