I'm looking at this machine and just want some input as to it's true market value.
This is a true HUO machine. Buying it from original owner who purchased it brand new back in '93(was not a pre-routed machine). Zero cabinet fade as much as I can tell. Original sales receipt from distributor was folded up neatly in the coin box. Needless to say it's in pristine condition all-around. Boards are all good too. Game plays perfectly. Just want to know if anyone else has had any buying/selling experience with a game in similar condition.
Thanks for any input!

At least $6k and possibly quite a bit more at today's prices. What a great find!

True HUO, low play, mint condition, one owner would sell for $8k in a snap and probably worth closer to $9k. Skies the limit to some collectors when you find A-Titles in this condition. let's say between $8k and $10k to be safe.

Tanks for the input guys. My daughter really doesn't need that money for college anyways.
Hopefully all goes well with the move.

Indy is in the house! (Or at least the garage)
Couldn't verify if there was any cabinet fade until I took the legs off but as you can see there is zero fade! More pics to come.

Nice score! An original indy with no fade is a rare find indeed.

Oh yeah. You may want to change the thread title to say you got it so people can check it out. Or not.

As I mentioned earlier in this post, I have the original sales receipt from the distributor to the gentlemen I purchased it from dated Dec '93. Has matching serial number on receipt. Guy wasn't a pinhead or even a collector for that matter. Just wanted a pinball machine for his basement family room where it had been sitting since 93'. One look and I knew it was something special. He said for the last 10 years or so it pretty much was only played on holidays when family was over.

Nice machine - I would agree with Tony and say this is worth well over $6500. I sold the last one I restored for $6500 with a HEP pf restore. I would say all original like this is worth much more.
