Premier Tag Team Pinball value

[stu33]

I'm looking for some advice...I can get a Premier Tag Team Pinball for $500, that only needs new rubbers.  I'm wondering if that's a good price, and what it takes money and effort wise to replace the rubbers on something like that.  The artwork all seems to be in really good condition all the way around, and everything on it works.  This would be my first pin.

Thanks
Jason

Cool, I'm going to try to talk him down somewhat.  Any advice on transporting it?  It's going to have to ride in the back of my truck for about 60 miles or so, lots of uphill/downhill.

$500 sounds awesome! I've never tried tag team or spit roast either.

All they offer around here is $1000+ for early 70's ugliness 

I say pull the trigger, hard.

Well, the wife put the brakes on this one pretty fast.  If anyone is interested, here's the craigslist listing for it:

He's changed it, at one point it said $500, now it says $700.

I've never seen one of those in person but have always had some interest in it.  I get tired of the same old pool and poker games.

Heh, I was basically given the choice between my mame cab, my drum kit, or this.  I could pick 2, and I already own the other 2, so pinball has to wait.  Until the next house.

Buy it and put her name on it as a "gift!"

That's the trick I already pulled with the mame cab.

"If you let me do it, I'll put Bejeweled and Peggle on it with the trackball..."

[stu33]

Let's just say she possesses certain...'skills'...

[ChadTower]

If that's how it is then you'd better find a way to do this now before you have kids.

[stu33]

Actually, on this one I kind of agree with her.  3 kids, 1300 sq. ft. house...no garage/shed/whatever...we need to be thinking about living space before playing space.  I've already gotten her to cave on the cabinet and the drum kit (one is in the foyer, the other in the only real closet in the entire house).  She's totally right on this one.

Word to the wise:  never buy a house just because it has french pocket doors around the dining room.  (That's what convinced her about this house, and it was a colossal mistake)

No basement?

[stu33]

Basement yes, usable no.  There are a couple issues with it.  First, our furnace is the size of a buick roadmaster, it's from 1953, but still works perfectly so no need to replace it.  Between that, the washer/dryer, hot water heater and the giant root cellar cut out of it, there isn't a huge amount of space down there.  Secondly, it's only a 6 foot ceiling, me being 6'1" makes spending any real amount of time down there uncomfortable.  Finally, if we get heavy rainstorms, there have been instances where the french drain doesn't really keep up, so water could be an issue.

Attic doesn't work either (low ceilings), not that I'd want to cart something like that up all those stairs anyway.

[ChadTower]

Next time pick a house with a usable basement and no French doors.  French doors just let anyone in who pushes them anyway.

[stu33]

Yeah, I hate this house, passionately.

For $20 I'll be happy to call your wife and tell her how this is all gonna work out.

 

PBJ is living vicariously through you and REALLY wants you to get this pin!
