Item description

Couldn't tag multiple games. I'm kinda just looking for any of the Bally or Brunswick Home Pins. I'd like to tinker with one and then ultimately pass it on to my friend and dad, if I can find a couple. Alive would be the preferred Brunswick and any Bally will do.

Thanks,
RC

Ouch. While still considered "pins" they were throwaway games. Difficult to get parts and then when you get one working it's usually worth less than purchase price/parts cost without labor figured into the equation. If there's a nostalgic reason, great. But the full size game is far and away better.

Really it's just for my own curiosity. And I figure they should be cheap and I can pass it along to a friend who loves pinball but is in no financial position to purchase a commercial unit currently.

I've been offered a few in the $200-300 range over the years. I'm sure there are some offered for less. But when you try to fix one and add in the time and costs for parts are you ahead? I bought a Stern Stars last year with nice PF, beat BG for $375 needing board work. Tons of cheap EM's in that price range too that need work. Personally If I'm going to invest my time and $$ it needs a coin door.

I'm sure lots of people like the home use games but there is no comparison to a real machine.
