    Hi, my parents have a very old pinball machine that my dad bought in the 80's. It has been broken for years and sits in their garage. As we start to downsize in preparation for a move, we are wondering if this pinball machine has any value or if we should trash it. Thanks for any insight!

    Don't trash it! It's not worth a mint $100 to $500 maybe but someone here will take it where are you located?

    Thank you for the information! We are located in Washington, DC.

    We actually just found a local guy who restores these who would like it! I'm glad it will be returned to all of its glory! Thanks again for the help.

    Thanks for giving her this advice! I was the person she referenced as I found it on Craigslist. Its seen better days but I will make sure it gets some TLC and back into circulation!

    Here is the machine rescued from the verge of being trashed to in my basement ready to be worked on and hopefully up and running in the coming weeks. I employed a few friends from the HS Football team to help me bring it in and carry down to my basement. Can you guess which one is me in this picture LOL?
