I've found a local guy who has an average to slightly better than average Comet pinball for sale. It's very rare to be able to find any classic arcade or pinball games for sale locally. I played a game and everything seemed to work ok with the exception of the very top row of digits in the player 4 space not showing up. It also needs a good cleaning and waxing. All the original mylar is intact and there is some playfield wear, but not too bad.
One thing that concerned me is that none of the voices seemed to be audible during gameplay. The guy told me that the voices annoyed his wife, so he had manually turned the voices off in the setup. Is that possible or is there possibly a problem with the sound board?
One other concern is that the game has been in his unheated garage for as long as he's owned it (about 15 years). He says they only played it after the temperture warmed up, but living in Northern Michigan with our bitter cold winters, is that something to be concerned about? Oh, and he's asking $800.00 although he did say there is room to negotiate. Opinions?
