Trying to get an idea of what to ask for my Williams Diner pinball machine. It needs a tune up, but other than that it is in great condition. Please let me know your thoughts on what it is worth to a dealer or to a collector, etc. Thanks!

If it needs work, I'd say closer to $1,800.

All of those values would be to a collector.....dealer won't pay collector prices.

Ok, makes sense.

If the playfield is free of wear and the pin plays perfectly (etc.), $2k would be an awfully good deal. I've bought two of them, and both cost more and were (apparently) in worse shape. Of course, that's just my experience, and prices vary from region to region.

Diamond Plate is a plus as well.

Shit Ill give 2500 for it

Your pics are pretty poor quality to give an accurate estimate and honestly anyone giving a valuation with so few quality pics is not being true to themselves.

Would need LOTS more pics and esp some of the important bits (like how are the boards, bg, pf wear areas, plastics, ramp breaks?, etc...)

The range is 1500 to 2500 depending on all these things. Can't be much more precise, but can tell from the pics that it has not been cared for and needs a full teardown, cleaning, and fresh rubber. If anything this should cause most to rightfully shoot on the lower end of the range.

The DINER cabinet should be photo'd and considered in the value as well.

Plus, "if" the inserts are lifting (D-I-N-E-R and/or Restaurant People inserts) will reduce value.

I've owned many DINERS and this is a decent example... more picts needed tho.
