No Fear...should I?
JeepMonkey:
I don't think I could pull the trigger on this one. To me it is just an ok machine.
If you were going to have it for a while and really liked it, it might be worth it.

RE: Mylar.
My Bally/Williams WhoDunnit is 1994 and is Mylar.
LLUncoolJ:
He emailed me some pretty high megapixil photos of the playfield of the Fish Tales. Just from what I can see, it needs at least $50 worth of plastics (missing), that's just what I can see. It needs shopped, and the edges of the mylar are very visable. Those things, along with the fading are probably going to queer the deal. I'm thinking I would need to get it for $1400 or less and I doubt the guy is going to come down that far, especially without seeing it in person. But realistically, we would have to agree on a $1500 starting point just for me to take the hour plus drive.
I'd post, but the pics are over 4MB each.

So...which one of you asked the question? Kinda funny.
Ebay posting:
"Williams" brand FISH TALES Pinball machine. Rare less than 500 in existence. In very good condition with new rubber bands and bumpers. Locking box included. The right hand side of the machine is lighter than the left because the right side used face a window. Lock has been taken off so anyone can hit the free play button whenever they want.
Q: Less than 500 exist??? Williams made 13640 of these. Where did over 13000 machines go???
A: This question was already answered to another, and should be listed under questions, but if not yet, I got it straight from the Fish Tales owners list when I did a yahoo search, and this was a couple of years ago, so there may even be less. We all know that 13,000 were made, but that research site said that they only knew of around 400 left. (not 500,my boyfriend made a mistake)
Jeff AMN:
That sounds like the local seller here that is claiming that his beat up EM with a broken score reel is worth more than $3,000 based on his research. I emailed him and asked him if he's ready to come down to $300 then we'll talk.
