This is a beautiful Fishtales, kind of amazing really because it seems so fresh and bright colors (original artwork) and crisp. It's been in my little collection about 5 years, and I honestly never considered selling it, but I haven't played it in a while and so many new games are tempting me.

I don't know exactly what "collector quality" is, but I'd guess this is it. The playfield and cabinet are outstanding. There are a couple scrapes/nicks on the cabinet, but it presents beautifully. The game plays super smooth and just has a sharp feel to it. I've had many many Williams games, including another Fishtales, and this one just stands out as an exceptional example.
Now - I'm not using the word perfect or mint or any of that stuff. It is a pinball machine that has been played. But take a look and if you have questions I'll try to answer. This isn't a game that was once in rough condition that has been decaled, clearcoated, etc... it is an original that has been kept in great shape.

The stuff that I know that has been upgraded/modded are the black satin finish powdercoat on the rails, legs, lockdown bar, and brackets, the little fish guy whose eyes light up, a color dmd, PDI glass, full very nicely done LED's, 3d lenticular backglass from planetary pinball, and a motherboard battery board that replaces the batteries with a 2032. All the boards are in great shape. I'd say it plays at least as good as it looks.
I'll miss it. I'd consider a trade for the right machine, but I don't know what that is...
My strong preference is that the buyer sees and plays the game in person. I have a walkout basement and can help load the machine into your vehicle. I will consider shipping if the buyer makes all the arrangements.
