So I just resurrected this old girl--playfield is a 8 out 10 and everything works as it should--the only sticky point in my mind is the original backglass is justy plain cheesy. So my question is what would be a fair asking price for a fully shopped, fully working raven pin in good condition?
(I know what the mr. pinball guide says on it but I don't think their prices typically refer to restored condition pins.)

Define "restored" in detail and we can give you a better answer.
That's not much of a money pin - even in real 8 of 10 fully shopped condition you're looking at $500-600.

I would say about $50-75, but since I am a good guy, I'll give you $125 and even pick it up !
;D
PS - missed you yesterday ...

LOL ah the generosity of a cgcc member--legendary in their own minds! :cheers: Had to work saturday soi missed the auction--ah well, didn't sound like a good one anyways.
Restored meaning--playfield cleaned, waxed with only maybe 1/2" square of wear on the entire thing, adhesive mylar pop bumber guards, ground modifications made, all bulbs replaced all electronics tested, repaired and working, new balls, and new rubbers.
I wish I had taken a before picture-- it was nasty--large sheet of beat to hell mylar covering entire playfield (course this saved this game) once i took the heat gun and some goo gone to it, it cleaned right up. The main cpu board was acid damaged like no other( eventually just had to replace the board--too many parts too far gone) the driver board had 3 blown transistors, the aux lamp board had 10! 3 or 4 coils were burnt up and almost all the lights were burned out--etc etc. Someone did not treat this game very well LOL. Anyways, I was just curious what others thoughts were on this.

Yep, $500. Raven is a very low end pin. BTW, restored means something different than what you've done. You repaired and shopped it. Restored would mean playfield/cabinet/backglass touchups as well as removing ball swirl. Sounds like there wouldn't really have been much playfield work to do, though.
