1974 Williams Triple Action
SlammedNiss:
Looking at a 1974 Williams pin for sale locally. Paint on the cabinet is as expected for it's age, the rubbers are dry-rotted, will need some bulbs replaced and will need fitted with new locks. Everything else seems to function (as far as I can tell) as it should, including the bumpers, drop targets and flippers. Now, taking that into consideration, what would be a fair price for this machine? Looking at the price guide pinned at the top, the price shows anywhere from $75 - $950. Seems like a broad range for pricing, so hoping somebody can explain the differences or narrow it down some.

If the playfield artwork is in good condition and the score reels reset fully I wouldn't pay more than $200-$250 for it...
Offer him $100 'Cash In Hand' ;) ;)
SlammedNiss:
Well, they are asking $300 which is why I was asking. If they're really worth up to $900, then I thought buying it and throwing a bit of time and money into would be worth it. Really want a pin, just don't want to overpay for it. And yes, playfield looked good, although a bit dusty, and the score reels worked just fine.

IF you want it and like the game, $300 for a working EM is not that bad. There are cheaper ones out there and you will not make any money when you sell it, however it seems like a reasonable market price. you can also try to wait them out. Call back in a couple of weeks and see if they're ready to take $200 "cash in hand". These EM's are not hot sellers on CL these days.

Not really looking to make any $$ off of it. So is the consensus that $300 is a fair price or should I wait for a better deal?
