Either pinhead52 or NicoVolta recently fixed up a King Pin and sold it privately. It looked superb. Maybe they can chime in with recent valuation.

I found my King Pin on Craigslist for $400, but that was in 2010. It was my first EM and still one of my favorites. King Pin’s five-ball play has one of the best progressive rulesets. First time you get all the drop targets down, the traveling light gets lit for 5k points. You have to get all the drop targets down a second time before special is lit. Even then, the special light alternates. Great, great game.

Link?

Thanks for the link. It is very nice. It’s unfortunate somebody put cheater pins in the outlanes.

While we’re on the subject of King Pin, has anybody ordered Shay’s reproduction backglass? I’m thinking of grabbing one in case I ever do a big cosmetic restoration on mine.

Wow! I had no idea Shay’s website had been updated. Thanks.

Nobody has posted sales figures for a King Pin in the particular condition you are hypothesizing, so it’s a matter of speculation.

Me, I would gladly pay $1,500 for a mint original King Pin. Maybe twice that, if it was an utterly flawless original.

Who knows what others would pay. If somebody found a NIB King Pin and put it on eBay, what do you think it would fetch? I probably couldn’t afford it.

EDIT: For some reason, Pinside keeps injecting this photo attachment from my earlier post. I tried deleting it, but to no avail. Here it is again!
