Mikezilla:
Hey guys, pinball question. What is a good price for one of these in good condition? It used of course, but everything lights up, and moves properly, and there isnt too much cosmetic damage. I loved this game when I was a kid, and I would like to finally own one. The dude is asking 1500 bucks OBO. How low do you think I can get him?

If you can actually afford it, it's local, he's delivering, and you want it, $1,500 is going to be pretty tough to beat on this.  If you have a truck and your time is worthless and you have access to free gasoline you could probably squeeze one for $1,200.

For another few hundred, you can get a T3 which is a better game.

Thanks PBJ!  :cheers: Damn, I was hoping to get it a little lower than that. And cmon man, you should know by now that I pretty much cant click on anything. I tried the link and it was blocked.  :( This would be my first pin btw.

He isnt delivering, but I do have a truck, I just dont know how I would unload it at my house. My friends are all skinny weak nerds, Im the only one with any muscle.  :dunno

I havent even seen T3 before! If there is a naked pic of the Kristanna Loken, Ill get that one instead.  ;D

Bought one at an auction for $1130 with BP

Needed a new display and shop job, so about $1300 when done.

Sold it later that year for $1400.

A friend just bought a T2 at an auction over a month ago for $1100. There was so much wrong with it that I had to spend about 6 hours working on it for him. Here's a list of what was wrong:

All 3 speakers shot (two were dead shorted, one was open). Owner bought a Pinball Pro speaker kit to replace the blown speakers.

Amplifier chip shot (caused by the bad speakers).

Dot matrix display was very bad and almost dead. Owner bought a new display from Bay Area Amusement.

Skull and airplane were busted up. Owner bought brand new ones.

Flippers were shot including one bad coil and one coil that was incorrect. Owner bought flipper rebuild kits and all new flipper coils of the correct number.

Switches showed a ground row short. I found a bad chip on the cpu board. Several playfield microswitches had broken wires.

The white standup target switches under the airplane had been wired incorrectly. At some time a yellow jumper wire had fallen off and someone soldered it to the wrong terminal.

Coin switches were wired wrong due to someone's attempt at free play.

Went through NINE boxes of light bulbs in this machine.

Several burnt GI connectors had to be replaced.

Playfield was very filthy and had tons of bad rubbers.

So altogether my friend has alot of money into this machine just getting it cleaned up and operating properly plus paying me good mony for fixing it.

So as pinballjim says, the bargain really wasn't a bargain after totaling up all the real costs.
