I just came across a old restaurant that just closed it doors in South West Michigan.
They are clearing out almost everything.

Here is list of what I found there:

Pinball Space Rider - not working
Pinball Flicker - not working
Bowler United's Olympic Shuffle Alley - not working
Bowler Chicago Coin Blinker Bowler - not working
Antique Cash Register - did not test
Pub Time Dart Machine - claimed working but did not turn it on
Bumper pool table
Many different Beer signs and beer clocks and buffet cart.

I was considering buying the Space Rider but I have a question first. The cab in in pretty good shape. How hard is it to find someone to work on the main board for this game? Is this game worth the investment? Pretty cool looking. I have never soon one before that keeps score down on the lower skirt.

Space Riders is a 1978 Atari pinball. The 2007 Pinball price guide places the value at $375, working. May be hard to find parts or repair support.
Are you planning to buy the lot & resell, or are you planning to share prices and contact information. Thanks, Denny
 
Well I was plannig on maybe only buying the Space Rider. I will have ask the seller before I add his contact informtion here. If you have any questions I will gladly pass it along. The machines are located in Coloma MI. I was not cerntain what to offer. But your informtion given that the Space Rider is only worth $375 working show me to offer around $100-150 not working.
 
I will ask later today on prices. I am pretty sure his prices will be a bit high. But he is also a motivated seller. He wants everything out to do a remodel. I will present any offers to the seller.

Here are pics of bowler number 1 United's Olympic Shuffle Alley:

OK he just called me back.

Here is his asking prices or best offer:

Flicker $225
United's Olympic Shuffle Alley $200
Chicago Coin Blinker Bowler $200
Antique Cash Register $200
Pub Time Dart Machine $400
Bumper pool table $300


He told me that the United's Olympic Shuffle Alley has one coil out. Other then that he said it should work. But I did not verify operation so you know how that goes. Maybe or maybe not.
 
Seller said I could post his contact info:

Seller Name is Jer. (Jerry?)
269-277-4804

Or if you just reply here I can talk to him in person. Price is between seller and you. No mark up from me. He did say calling him is fine too.
 
Could you PM a list of his Neon signs and prices. Particularly interested in non beer, ie coke pepsi, 7up, but I'd like to hear the whole list. Thanks in advance.
