No Fear...should I?
LLUncoolJ:
So what about Fish Tales PBJ, other than the Fish on top going CLAK-CLAK-CLAK? Keep in mind I have 2 little kids that like fishing...not that that should dictate what machine I wind up buying.

Hey Jim!
Wouldn't it save a bunch of time if you just post a short list of the pins you DO like?! ;D
My 2 pennies... leave that NoFear alone if you're worried about getting $1600 back out of it.

Thanks for the input, yeah I've pretty much decided against NF. I got pics of the FT. It looks like it has a big piece of mylar over the lower playfield...the edges are standing out in the pics. I thought Williams quit doing that after the system 11's. Anyway, the cabinet has some fade too. I'm thinking $1750 is too high in that condition. Maybe $1500 would be more tempting.
Jeff AMN:
Williams kept using mylar well after the diamond plate stuff became standard.
I wouldn't pay more than $1,200 for a Fish Tales. I've had one, and it was fun, but after an hour I could pretty much hit any shot on that game on demand. I do think it's quite a bit of fun for a family, but for me personally it didn't have a long staying power sitting next to the other games I had. The guy who bought it from me absolutely loves it.

IMHO I am not a fan of NF & $1750 for a NF is too steep unless its clean, shopped & free of fade/wear.
I would say $2500 for true collector or HUO but thats not what we have here. But for what you are describing I would think $1500 is fair if its clean, waxed, new rubber/bulbs & free of hacks. $1175 if you want to dump $125+ & a month of your time on it.
That FT Chuck has is ridiculously awesome, if you score that I will hate you.
