I'm a former owner of a 'Punk'...sold it YEARS ago to a 1-pin homeowner. It ultimately probably ended up at a tag sale (speculation on my part) when their kids outgrew it. FWIW, it wasn't a very good pin, even in context of what else was available at the time. Typcal Gottlieb cheese, but to each his own. There really is no history of pricing on this, but I'd hazard a guess at -oh, I don't know-800.00 for a player?
Punk is usually lumped with "Rock" or "Rock Encore" which I also own currently. Rock has MUCH more interesting play and again-in my opinion-a much better pin. YMMV, though. Good luck searching-that's the fun part!

Quoted from shacklersrevenge:

Punk perfectly personifies 1982 imho.

I certainly agree with that~

Quoted from Schusler:

Norm, any ideas on its last whereabouts?
It would be nice if any other former punk owners would chime in.
Iike to gauge how many reside in North America.

Oh God, it's been so long ago I can barely remember...I used to see this title often enough up until the mid-1990's...In my opinion, these were most likely parted out or worse yet, broken up & destroyed. Gottlieb/Premiers of that era had a HUGE attrition rate. In fact I can remember an operator I knew fairly well used to send these "out back" to get parted and busted up. He never liked Gottlieb/Premier titles and sent quite a few to an early grave. Keep in mind, though, that this is when you'd get a pin of that era for maybe-100-150 dollars.
Have you ever played this in PinMame?
