Not a killer deal ($600), and I had to drive 150 miles each way to get it... but I have missed my first SW for the last 10 years and was waiting and watching all the while. Had an Amp in it when he brought it home 15 years ago but the tube was burned out (spot killer failed or something) so he swapped in a WG.
- He didn't have the Amp any more so don't even ask ;-)

Almost spotless sideart and kick panel art. Only two "blemishes" are the peeling of the CPO (already ordered a repro) and the paint worn off next to the yokes from his children (now adults) thumbs over the years. ;-)

Way nicer than my first love. I'll be buried in this one!

Here she is...

Congrats! Mine is "almost" done. A few small pieces and a bit of cab work. Still putting together an Amp but I have a WG in there to play with.
 
Wondered who was gonna bite on that one, looked real nice in the ad. For an Amp, I might have myself, but I saw the 6100 in there. Congrats on the nice pickup.

$600.. with an amp?
Uhhh... keep waiting.
:)

You would have to be quick to beat me. He said I called within 10 minutes of him posting it. He wondered how I saw it so fast. I told him I use the scientific method... "luck".

Glad I didn't take it away from any of my local contacts who may have wanted it.

Was that the one for $1k up in Chippewa Falls?

Yep. I took that shit right outta your back yard.
;-)

I think he said it had been listed on the Eau Claire CL
He listed it yesterday morning on the Minneapolis CL (@ $699) for the first time because he wasn't getting any bites.

Nicely done. I thought about sending an offer of $700 to him (when it was on the EC CL for $1000) but I held back because I reeeeeaaally want to get a new pin. So I'll pretend like I'm not jealous... :)

Self discipline is a wonderful character trait my friend.
I applaud (and thank) you.

There's a Stern Orbiter 1 pin on Minneapolis CL right now. I just watched a few youtube videos of it.
Interesting and strange.
 
Looks great!

Are you going to try getting a SW/ESB kit for it?

Probably not. I put one on my first SW (Clay's) back in 2000-1 time frame and, truth be told, I didn't play ESB that much.
I will say this... If I ever see a kit for less than a bazillion dollars, I would consider it... I got a strong Multi thing... 8 or 9 multi kits currently... so why not continue the trend?
there's no chance I will pay current prices for this one though.
Can't see it being worth more than $200 (accounting for inflation).
 
Congrats! Nice looking game. Too bad there was not a mini for you to add to your collection. ;)
 
excuse my newbiness and i dont mean to brag, but WOW i had no idea this machine was worth so much (even on KLOV). I mean i see ridiculous Ebay BIns but thought they were bogus.

I just got one a few weeks ago on superbowl sunday for $150.00 with an Amp. And it was in 30 miles from my house. I must have stole it! Congrats on yours man it looks nice!

Where do you get repro artwork? I need the piece that goes on the control stick, mine is missing.

I'll triple your money if you're feeling bad. :D

You stole it for sure. The monitor alone is worth way way more than that. The yoke art was repro'd by thisoldgame.
