Jim w/echo lake makes a repro board as noted in post #2. So if your board work and shipping is anywhere near $250 get the modern repro.

That answers my question. Just wanted to make sure that it wasn't some super rarity valuable in any condition. Sounds like in rough shape $2-300 is about it. Boards are repairable. Thanks.

I have a line on an Ice Cold Beer. it is in below average cosmetic condition and not working but complete. Owner says he feels like it has a "board problem" Glass and playfield look ok so it could probably be made nice with a cp overlay, woodgrain for the sides and t mould. What's...

There's a similarly nice looking, completely dead pinbot near me that the seller is asking $900 for. the orange ramp has it's point broken off at the top but looks functional. some of the decals on the center 'bot have been trimmed back where they curled up. a few scratches and dents. Board...

You know it was awesome, the pic shows the Stig driving it. i say driving, because the Stig does not . . . play.

Brokenjoy: I just got a HG as my first pin. It developed the slow play/timer chip problem and I figured out the MPU still had some active corrosion (even though it had been repaired circa 1995) and had a new cordless phone type battery installed. I tried replacing a few suspect components with...
