So I chatted with a guy who is selling a Sweet Hearts. Before I make the trip (couple hours each way) to eye ball it I thought some Pinsiders might give a heads up on its worth.

As described: Back glass pretty good - one chipped area by the credit window, otherwise no flaking or loose paint. Playfield has some wear of the clear in the unpainted wood - no mention of issues in painted areas, no bare wood in painted areas. Mechanically things work and it plays. Cabinet is fair to poor, repair repaint suggested. Coin box has a fair amount of rust. Legs less so. Inside very clean, no rust on mechs. Back box has been repainted incorrectly and poorly ie fugley! Has not been left in the cold, was stored in living space for the past ten plus years.

Asked for photos of playfield, bg and back of bg. Supposedly will be sent tomorrow or Friday.

Wants $275

Thanks!
Glass and lockdown were removed for photo. Yep, did notice the red beehive and ugly blue front. Agree that the pf and chrome will be worse than what one can tell. Hopefully photos will give a clue. Looks like a repaint if I were ever to get to it. Playing keeps getting in the way of the projects. Such a dilemma!!

So -- now to make sure I am allowed to bring it home!

To add to the confusion there appears to be a 2001 and a Sky Jump about an hour plus in the opposie direction to be had 450 combined. Oh what is a broke pinhead to do?

up with that but I think there would be a big VETO as it is known that once they come home they never leave. I think I hear a pinhead parody of Hotel California in my head.

Thanks. I'm real close. Maine.

Transport is about the only thing I have down with a old full size conversion van. Pins love the nice cushiony ride on the bed and I took the mid seats out so plenty of room for the heads.

I hear ya DF. The Vulcan will only leave if a sweet Fire Queen came my way. Of course you would never identify with that {insert sarcasm sign}.

Here are the additional photos that just arrived.DSCN2167.JPGDSCN2168.JPGDSCN2170.JPGDSCN2171.JPGDSCN2172.JPGDSCN2176.JPGDSCN2177.JPGDSCN2181.JPGDSCN2159.JPGDSCN2162.JPG

sling shot plastics and other extra parts are included.

Playfield a bit worse than discussed but about as expected.

So we settled on 250 for machine and a box of goodies: extra coin mechs, rubbers galore, balls, balls, balls, extra posts and more. I brought it home Friday evening. Great day for the drive, very pleasant seller (once had lunch with Douglass Adams at a media convention - cool for those of us named zaphod!) Nice sunset dinner and micro-brew on the water at the alley in Portsmouth NH - sea food can't be much fresher.

Thanks for the input. Nice to have your own thought confirmed and a bit more education added.

The glass is superb except the credit chip, the mechs all seem to work but the backbox rust level looks like I'll be burning through at least two HF vibrating tumblers (two years left on that extended warranty ). Legs yuck. Top half of play field not bad, lower half is quite toasty but not too bad for a '63 machine. Cabinet repaint horrible, untouched as thin as a primer wash. Thinking a fill stencil and paint job might be in order - in about three years
