Letting this one go isn't easy, but due to some ongoing health issues, I need to part with my Data East TMNT pin. This game has meant a lot to me, and I've spent plenty of time bringing it to where it is now.
The cabinet and playfield are in great shape, the playfield was completely stripped, cleaned, polished, and waxed. It has a new ramp and decals, plus a new pizza spinner decal. It's been fully converted to LEDs (minus flashers), with added playfield spotlights and post lighting on all the green posts. I also recapped the power supply, fixed up several old wiring hacks, and made a few nice upgrades, a trough light on the apron and a modern Stern auto plunger.


I'm asking $2400, and can help with shipping if needed.

Located in Maine

I've really enjoyed owning this one, and I hope it finds a good home with someone who'll appreciate the work and care that went into it.

This looks great, and a fair price too! If you weren't in Maine I'd consider downsizing my Stern TMNT to this one
 
Wonder what shipping to Minnesota would be? I bought one for $1200 13 years ago, it was a bit more beat up than this one, but foolishly I sold it for $1400 a couple months later because I saw a guy was looking for one for his son. My (at the time) three-year-old son has never let me forget it. It was his favorite machine then and he's asked about it over the years. He is now 16. If we can figure out reasonable shipping, I might just purchase this thing.
 
Still have it phet. New code will be out from Chad sometime in the future.
Nice. I remember the front was a little bit beat up, but otherwise the machine was in pretty good shape. I remember John Jacobson trying to get me to buy one of the original designer's personal signed TMNT machines for 2500 bucks about 8-9 years ago, but I just couldn't do it with our house remodel. This one looks in as good as shape as that one was and it's 100 bucks cheaper. I'm seriously gonna try to make this work.

Wow, that's such a great story. I can imagine how special it would be for you and your son to have one back in the house after all these years.

Shipping to Minnesota shouldn't be a problem. I can help set it up through one of the blanket-wrap services that handle pinball machines. It usually ends up in the $400–$500 range, but if you share your zip code I can check for a more exact quote.

Would be awesome if this TMNT could make its way back to you two.

Is that the one he was going to punch-kick the guy to get it back? lol
