Item description

PLEASE NOTE: This Joust will not be for sale until around December if all goes as per plan! This is just an "Interest and offer list" as of right now. I reserve the right to choose the most desirable offer IF and WHEN the game is ready for sale and take the game off the market at any time. I'm not unreasonable by any means, I just want to ensure that everyone knows that this is just a preliminary "pre-sale" interest list!

Hey Pinsiders! I am in the process of gauging interest on my 1983 Williams Joust. The cabinet will go into production at the end of October 2016 and a completion date is unknown at this point (likely late November/early December. I feel that the current cabinet is not repairable and I have contracted a Master Cabinetmaker to fabricate an identical replication to match the original. The original plastic artwork on the cabinet is in excellent condition and will be reused. A repair of the original cabinet would not suffice with a game of this rarity and value.

The legs are missing so a pair will be fabricated to suit.

The playfield is NOT RESTORED but is in very nice original condition (see pics). There are some chips and some planking but it is exceptional for it's age. I have had a quote from a well-known playfield restorer and it would be around $750 USD for restoration and clearcoating. I was contemplating a playfield restoration but it is very nice as is and I don't believe I would have the spare time to strip the top and bottom of the field in preparation and then reassemble after restoration. I will leave this to the discretion of the purchaser.

Playfield plastics all seem to be in exceptional original condition. No cracking or fading that I can see. Some of the holes are a bit elongated but cover with rubber screwcaps.

Currently the game boots into attract mode and the boards will be checked and serviced before the sale. All switches will be operational at the time of sale.

I refuse to start a game on it until the boards have been looked over and serviced if necessary. I understand that these boards are repairable/replaceable but I'd like to keep this game as original as possible seeing as I'm already replicating the cabinet.

The game will be cleaned and re-rubbered. All items on the top of the playfield will be removed for cleaning and reassembled.

I am open to cash offers on the game and will entertain trade offers as well. I'm in the market for TAF, MM, MB, Diner, Dr. Dude, The Shadow, CV, GB, MET, other newer Stern games...trades can be +/- cash depending on game and condition. I'm not interested in EM's or low-end titles as a part trade.

I am located just outside of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. This is 2 hours North of the Emerson/Pembina border crossing in North Dakota. Keep this in mind that it is a cross border game for US residents. Since the game was made in the USA there won't be duty charges but there likely will be import taxes charged on the sale price. Canadian residents will not have to pay taxes on the game.

Shipping is an option but must be arranged entirely by the purchaser. I have used Michelle Bianchi recently and would recommend her if shipping is required in the USA. It cost me $460 USD to have a game shipped from Riverside, CA to Pembina, ND. For Canadians, SameDay Shipping has quoted around $200 CAD from a depot in Winnipeg to a depot in Mississauga just to give you some perspective.
