...just curious. There's one available that is 'non-working', covered in dust and has very bad backglass flaking - huge chunks of paint missing. Would you pay $125?

Only if the mechanisms aren't rusted and the cabinet is good. There are repro playfields out there and you can get a backglass.

+1...great advice as usual SC!
SunKing, If you dont end up buying it let me know. Id love a new Xenon and its an easy drive from austin to houston
Quoted from SunKing:Thanks guys. ...not sure if I really want to take on a restoration of this magnitude, but it might be worth my time (and $$) if I can get it for around $100.
Man, for $125 I'd grab it in a second. Worst case scenario is it's unrestorable and you can either keep or sell parts to fix other pins and recoup your $125.
Well, I didn't win. It was an ebay auction - link is here ebay.com link: itm (not sure how long the link will last).
There were two macines, the Xenon and a Bally Lost World. Both looked to be in very rough shape. I bid up to $613, and they sold for $623. Oh well, it's probably for the best anyway as I have a million other things that take priority right now, including moving to a new house.
Curious if someone here got em...if so - congrats! I'd love to see more pics, and hear about the restoration.
I saw that auction and passed cause I figured that was the xenon you meant.
It did look like it needed some serious work
