Here's one that does not come up very often.

I've owned this with a close friend for the last couple of years, and this thing shoots like a dream. Buttery smooth shots, and just an all around incredible game to play.

Some of the upgrades I added:

- Gold mirror blades ($200 USD)
- Magic wand mod ($80 USD)
- Hat with playing card mod ($200 USD)
- Motorized saw mod ($30)
- Comet LEDs ($100 USD)

Good stuff:

- Brand new restored cabinet with custom painted interior
- New cabinet decals
- Everything chromed! Anything that is silver under the pf, has been chromed!
- Gold trim including rails, lockdown bar, legs and bolts.
- Brand new flippers (assembly, coils, everything!)

Not so good stuff:

- Little bit of wear around the trap dole hole. Can't be seen when door is down.
- The "LOCK" insert on the right side of the playfield has chipped at the top, and the letter "L" is missing. I've covered it with mylar, so no further damage can occur.
- Recently the left outlane magnet is blowing a fuse from time to time.

The game was running flawlessly for 2 years, so the fuse issue is probably just something minor. The game still runs even when the magnet fuse blows, but it's probably something you'll want to fix eventually.

If you're not technical, I'm sure someone like Menace (west end) or Kim (east end) could get this sorted fairly quickly.

I think considering the really nice condition of the game, and all the nice features listed above, I am pricing this one very reasonably to sell.

I recently sold games to Eddie and Barry, so you're welcome to ask them about me.

Price is $8000.

I'd buy from you Sean just based on word of mouth from people around me who've purchased from you. I'm sure this one won't last long as it's priced reasonably. GLWS.

Very kind words :)

Let me know if you are interested in this game, and we can work out a price we're both comfortable with :)

First off this looks like a very nice example minus the few imperfections openly disclosed by Damien.

- Recently the left outlane magnet is blowing a fuse from time to time.

The game was running flawlessly for 2 years, so the fuse issue is probably just something minor. The game still runs even when the magnet fuse blows, but it's probably something you'll want to fix eventually.

Did you add any mods recently to your game such as the hat with spinning card? Sometimes adding or tying in mods like this can push a fuse to it's limit causing it to blow. Which magnet fuse is this because there are several magnets in this game such as the one on the trunk, spirit ring and both inlanes have the hocus pocus magnet.

Everything seemed to be working with the mods installed. ItsIthe left outlane magnet that takes out the fuse (I'd have to check the game for the specific fuse).

I'm sure it's something obvious and simple, but I unfortunately have no time right now to dig into it.

The game is at a friend's place, playing great even when the magnet isn't working exactly as it should. He's enjoying it until we get a buyer :)

Here are the areas of the game that I'd mark as imperfections.

There a small wear spot on the bottom left corner of trap door hole. The LOCK insert is missing the "L" but has been covered with mylar to prevent any further problems. And there is a faint line around some of the modes inserts, which I've personally seen on every TOM I've played.

I like sellers to always be open with me about blemishes on their games, so I extend the same courtesy when selling.

Let me know if you guys have any questions at all.

hey that was my spider-man vault first
(I wonder if the alternate music is still on it)
that game is fun!
Yes I can attest the alternate music is still on there. I knew Eddie was looking for one of these and pointed him to Crash’s post for sale a few months back.
