Looking to sell my Elvira and the Party Monsters. It was my first pin, but no longer really gets as much play and I could use the space. This is certainly a players machine, but does have some high points to it.

Cons:
-Playfield has multiple areas of wear (see pictures). Right orbit where ball drops from the plunge and the pop bumper areas are the main two. There is also some wear on some inserts (Wake the dead heads). I do have some insert decal replacements somewhere though, but I honestly liked the "worn" look on those specific inserts, so I left it.
-(This could be a "pro", but that's up to you) The playfield has mylar over a large portion of it. It has some bulbling over multiple inserts and the edges can be seen especially near the bottom by the flippers. Although the mylar isn't really appealing, it has kept the playfield under it from wearing.
-Some plastics not replaced due to me not having a rivet tool. I did buy a full set of new plastics a long time ago and learned that not all plastics are simply remove and replace, so a few didn't get done.
-Recently the Boogie Men stopped "Boogie-ing". I hadn't had the time to look into the reasoning behind it honestly. It's a coil that activates their up and down movement that stopped working.
-There are some burnt connectors that power the GI. I got the game in this condition and replacing connectors is something I never really felt comfortable with. There are some hacks on this board too (not done by myself). There is one string of GI that is flaky due to the connector not holding the wire all too well.
-I've had it "not boot" up when turning it on occasionally, but turning it back off and on again worked. Never took more than that, so I never paid it any mind, but didn't want to not mention that.
-I wanted to make sure to mention all these issues to be honest about the condition of the machine. None of them affect the functionality, but certainly don't aid the experience.

Pros:
-Brand new ramps!! My original ramps were warped and I was lucky to get the re-run ramps a few years back. They look and work great!
-Mostly all new plastics. So, as mentioned above, a new plastics set was bought and mostly installed. I should have all the extras and perhaps most of the originals as well in the extra bags of stuff.
-Fresh cabinet decals. The original cabinet decals were faded and worn pretty badly. Had the cabinet re-done a year or two ago with new decals.
-Fancy red legs. The original legs were rusty and old so I opted for red coated legs a long time ago and I feel they fit the machine very nicely.
-Topper - this was included with the new plastics set, but wanted to mention it as well.
-Extras Extras Extras: I have the spare ramps that were replaced (some are still good) as well as a few other extras seen in the pictures. Not pictured are: 2 elvira glow in the dark figures - still in box and replacement decals for the apron art.

I have taken a bunch of pictures and uploaded them to my photobucket here:

I have streamed this machine a few times and it withstood a solid 4-5 hours of non-stop gameplay without any issues, but unfortunately I don't have a link to the gameplay footage anymore, but the game is still working as a whole very well.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I can supply extra pictures as needed. In all honesty I wasn't really sure how to price this one given the pros and cons I have listed so I took the "suggested price" of $3200 and knocked off $500 and made it OBO.
