Ok, I think I have found the pin I am looking for but I wanted to double check to see if my offer is in line with others here.

Everything is said to be working by the owner. It needs to be shopped out and cleaned thoroughly. The playfield looks pretty good and he said there is no wear. All lights work and the spinning soccer ball is said to be working great.

Rough estimate?

Well I struck a deal and I am picking it up tomorrow. Once the deal is finalized and it is home I will give some details.

Got it home! The photos were a pretty good representation of the game. The cab has some beat up spots on the head and the art is faded, but it is presentable. The playfield is REALLY dirty, but under that dirt it is in really good shape. The only wear I can find is the kickout hole in front of the goal. All of the other holes and kickouts have mylar wrapped around the edges so they look good. I plan on installing Cliffy's so what wear is there should be covered up. The ball looks pretty close to new and is just a bit dirty. It works really well and isn't very loud.

The only problem with any of the ramps is there is a chunk missing from the left ramp entrance. The only reason it is broken is because whoever shopped this last (long time ago) didn't put the metal protector back that goes in front of the plastic. They had it mounted upside down on top of the right ramp.........I will take a picture of that later so you can appreciate the dumbness of it. Other than that all of the ramps are a little cloudy but fully intact. The only broken plastic is the Header/Kick plastic near the goal and it is just a piece of the front edge that is gone. It can be ignored until I find a replacement.

All of the switches, lights and mechanisms work really well. The magnets both work and it is a good player. The flippers could do stand to be rebuilt, but they aren't bad. The playfield mylar was kind of a hack job as it looks like it was cut with a knife, so I hope it wasn't through the clear coat, we will see once I start removing it. The upper playfield by the goal does not have mylar on it and I already did a little spot cleaning with novus and the finish looks like glass now! So I am hoping the mylar removal goes well as the playfield has the opportunity to look fantastic.

The bad out of the whole thing is one of the rails has a dent in it, the cabinet is faded and the head has some small chunks out of it. Maybe one day we will get lucky and somebody will print decals for the game cabinet. If that ever happens I will fix all of the bad spots.

Overall I am happy with it and talked the owner down to $1675. His asking price was $2100. I think he still made some money as it was obvious he was just flipping it, but I don't care. It is possible I overpaid a bit, but I think this is going to clean up REALLY nicely. It may not be perfect, but it will be a really nice example I think, cabinet aside. This game really wasn't on my radar right now as I thought it was out of my price budget for a pin which was $2000. Given that I had been looking for other games as my first pin, but I am glad this one showed up as I am huge soccer fan and a JPOP fan. Thank you for the input on the thread!!

Oh and I have to thank my buddy jdoz2 (John) for driving me down there and helping with the process! It was a 6 hour round trip but a lot of fun. Luckily the rain held off.

Ya, I am really surprised about the inserts being so level. I only feel a couple that are barely noticeable, but the rest are super flat. After inspecting everything I did notice that the plastic under the right side of the left ramp is cracked. I am going to take my time restoring it and maybe piece by piece I can fix everything up. First step is going to be getting this nasty mylar off of it. I figure we are all going to be SOL when it comes to cabinet decals so I may have to mask the sides and repaint the yellow. That isn't really an option for the front though with the gradients.

ya, saw that yesterday. I am pretty happy, this one is cleaning up pretty well. I think Cliffy's are going to cover what wear is there around the holes. I got the Mylar off yesterday and the playfield looks like glass now

I will be picking up a set for sure to hold on to. Luckily the ramps on mine are in great shape, just dirty, I took the lower right one off last night and cleaned then flame polished it. Looks new now.

The only thng I wish could get a repro of is the side art and a couple of plastics.

The light is there, but it is behind the plastic. When I get to shopping out the top I will fix it. It currently is burned out.

I just bought a propane torch from WalMart. $12 worked great.
