Bally, 1995If you had to keep one in say a 10 game collection, which would you choose? Assume all 3 are in excellent condition...I have a Tom currently(2nd), sold a TOTAN and have never played CV....
I only sold Totan as I was offered top dollar, loved the game but I can always circle back and pick one up was my thinking....
TOTAN because I have a super nice one for sale....hint, hint...remember, mine is obo in the marketplace.
Quoted from mtdouble:Can a CQ example of CV be had for 6k?
Back in the day when I first got addicted to pinball. 1995-1999 CQ was a clean lightly routed game that I would buy new then run o my route. Then I would bring it home and shop it out. I would rotate 15 in balls in and out of my personal collection. I have retired all my pinball machines . The Midway machines that I still have left are in excellent condition. But 15 years forward I discover Pinside. Now my original Midway pinball are not sent to Treasure Cove or what ever to be clear coated . So by Pinside standards my collection is excellent condition . Only my HOU Attack from Mars and HUO Monster Bash I would consider CQ. $6,000.00 I do not believe will buy you a Pinside standard total restored clear coated JPOP , CV, TOM, or TOTAN .
I bought CV in 1998 and I do not have any photos. Sold it in 2004 for $2200.00 . As far as pinball goes, that was big mistake. It had no ghosting inserts and was really clean. Trivia : Under the left plastic above the plastic ball . If you take machine apart to shop/clean. There is a image of little mouse under the plastic. It says something like ;Thanks for cleaning me"
I have this for sale in the marketplace: http://imgur.com/a/jbxy4
Am I asking too much? Perhaps. Especially for a Pinsider I am able to move on the price. If interested, shoot me a pm.

I must say that Totan is the nicest i have ever seen. I was worried about playing it. But all of Snaroffs machines look like this, and he enjoys people to play them.

Thanks Larry! Glad you got to play it…love when folks are able to stop by and enjoy my collection. That's what it's all about! Recently added the new ColorDMD…really a nice touch on this pin.
