So, I have 3 pins (possibly 4) that I'm ready to sell. Not because of Financial reasons, more so to purge some of my hobbies.
1. NASCAR (2005 SS)-purchased from starburst Auction June of 2015 (paid around $3500.)
It works 100%. When I purchased it, I replaced all bulbs including playfield bulbs. Replaced all Rubbers, and cleaned and waxed the field. Replaced all the balls (at the time). replaced (under recall from Stern) the Garage Mech..
2. RoboCop (1985 SS)– purchased from a friend back in 2017 (he needed cash).
The game wasn’t working, so I paid him $900.00
I replaced the PS board, the PinScore board, and all the bulbs including playfield bulbs. Replaced all Rubbers, and cleaned and waxed the field. Changed all the balls, and added some color changing LED bulbs in certain areas (just to change it up).
3. Chance (1974 EM) – I purchased this unit from Frank AKA Jimmy back in 2010 (I think). I paid around $650.00 at the time.
It was not working. All the lights lit up, but it would not go into play mode. It came with all the schematics, so after doing some troubleshooting, I replaced a CAP, and it started to work.
Then I replaced all bulbs including playfield bulbs. Replaced all Rubbers, and cleaned and waxed the field. The one thing that still needs to be addressed is the scoreboard for player 3.
I am confident that whoever purchases this pin can solder the connectors on the driver board (for the scoreboard), and all the issues will be solved.
4. RiverBoat (early 1900’s) This is a 5 ball with plunger to raise balls to playfield.
I’m not sure if I’m ready to sell it, as my real passion is repairing the games, not playing them.
If I come across the right buyer that can show me that they will restore this beauty, then I’d consider letting it go.
So, I’m looking for feedback on what all of you think these pins are worth today.
