How hard is that to fix?

Diamond plating is peeling off. Most likely due to moisture damage. I wouldn't touch it. Nice FT examples can be had for 1500-2000

Yeah I think your right. Some of the ramps are rusty and under the play field looked like it had water damage.

Run

kinda looks like the mylar was put on after the damage was done by the looks of the wear on the inserts. I'd pass on that one.

if it's a player game and you don't mind once clean it will be ok, make an offer.

More than just mylar coming off. Look at how much paint has worn off and touched up on the tackle box lid. Mostly red and white colors.

It looks like impact damage and the clear is fractured, kind of hard to tell by the pics.
I would pass on this one.

major playfield wear. DP cracking everywhere. Happens a lot on FT's. I've had to restore a lot of them and none of them were pretty. Very expensive to restore.

Where is it located? I know of one for sale locally here in SLC that looks similar. I went to see it before the current owner picked it up and was shocked at just how bad a pin could be. The previous owner had it listed in 'excellent' condition, but it was one big collection of rust, lifted inserts, worn off paint, fogged plastic, and faded cabinet sides.. sad.

I'm pretty sure it's the same game. I compared the OP's pics to the KSL pics last night. The right lane guide plastic has the same break in it.

Yep thats the one! Its in SLC!
