1980 - Alien Poker
« on: May 30, 2008, 03:48:43 am »
I've got a friend at work who's thinking of selling her pinball machine to save for a jukebox.   She got it for $300, and I told her I would be interested if she decided to sell it, but there evidently it's not in perfect working order.  She thinks it's a soldering problem, and says it smells 'burnt' when she turns it on.  At $300, I figure it would be worth it to take it off her hands and try to repair it myself, but I was wondering if I was ripping her off (rarity of the game?) and if the problem sounds like an easy fix.  Thanks.

She got it for $300, and is willing to let it go for the same.  I think it's win-win.

As for the smell, I'd bet on poor connections in the headboard.  That's the first place I'd look.
