Picking up a monte carlo pin tomorrow. Haven't been able to find a ton about them. Can anyone think of any concerns about this one? Is there something special I should look at before I buy it? I have heard that the roulette wheels in the center of the machine can be a hassle. Getting it for to good a of a deal to pass up. Sad thing is I can't even find a video on the web of this game in action and very few pics as well.
 
monte carlo

Is it worth getting? I live in nebraska so I barely see anything decent show up for sale.
 
$600

And everything works. Just got done restoring a lethal weapon 3 so now i got the itch and i want to do another one :p
 
I had one for sale several years ago. Game does not get too much love. Its not a great playing game. I never had any issues or problems with the game. I did not care for the backglass/translite artwork.
 
got it!

Ended up buying it. Gave the guy $600 which was $150 lower then the $750 that he wanted for it. He was the original owner and it has been in his basement for the past 20 or so years. It is in crazy good condition. All it needs is all the rubbers replaced and a good cleaning. The sides are a little scuffed up in some places but over all nothing needs to be done to it.

Played it a bit and the game is pretty fun. It is completely different then anything else I have. All in all I think it was a tremendous find for only $600.
 
I just bought one today for $500

Completely shopped out. LED kit installed. Comes with Topper and a Prototype backglass, not the typical guy and gal. This one has a large casino in the middle with a Monte Carlo landscape. Never seen this backglass before.

I'm picking it up Saturday. I'll post some pics when I get it home.

Let's see if this works....

That is pretty sweet! The one I got has the original backglass. Your's is much cooler looking! I just ordered all new rubbers for mine and replacement bulbs then mine should be good to go.

I saw that one for sale and offered like $500.00 for it they countered at $575.00 but it was just to far of a drive for a pin that I really don't know anything about. Congrats on the pick-up.

I mentioned this pin on a RGP post, Rob!!!! It seemed everyone liked the *neo* version of the backglass....
 
Thanks,

I actually know the seller. He's 8 to 10 miles away from me and I've bought pins from him before. I played this particular pin last month when I was picking up a Dixieland pin from him.

My sights are now on his Stargate! ;)
 
Definitely classier. But the cheesy photo translights on the 80's Premier games are so bad they're entertaining....

I would definately like the one you have. If you find out that you can buy that one somewhere please let me know so I can replace the horrible one in my cabinet!
 
A few pics as promised.... Just brought it home today. I have since put the topper on but did not take anymore pics...yet.
