Picked up a decent 1976 Aztec today. $400.00
I played the machine & it pretty much all worked, save for a few bulbs. Backglass I would rate as a 6, it has some lifting on the bottom, & there is some paint crackng but not too bad. Will be a good first Krylon Triple thick project. Playfield 8, it has one wear spot, other than that it will clean up really nice. The cabinet is outstanding, probably a 9.5 - no scrapes, or gouges. paint is good. Same owner had this for 20 years in his home away from direct sunlight.
Needs a good cleaning, new rubbers. It is missing both .25 coin mechs & whatever holds them onto the door. if anyone has these I would be interested.
This had been posted on our local Craigs list for weeks, he dropped the asking price from $600, to $500, & then to $400. I was the first to actually drive out into the sticks to look at it. If anyone has seen the movie "Animal house", this pin was located about 2.5 miles from the actual Dexter lake club from the movie.
Good God these EM's have a lot of solenoids & leaf switches!
Can't wait to start on this one...
Oh yeah, will post before pics soon
 
I saw that ad but a little out of my price range for a theme that doesn't really fit. It's a neat game and you should have a good ol' time with it.



Yer just lucky I stopped for breakfast on the way to the swap meet last Sept.

;)

.... it was a little more than I wanted to pay, but the playfield was so nice & I really wanted an EM to mess around with.

Ahh, yeah Mr & Mrs Pacman -did you see the pin in the back of the pickup @ the Redmond antique car swap meet? That was a pretty good buy, as it cleaned up fairly nicely & it was complete. It was quite a sight when he hooked that huge hydraulic boom up to it & lifted it up and out. Wish I had taken a pic of that pin dangling 20 feet in the air. We already have our room reservation for next year's swap meet, I really always find good stuff there.
 
Saw it in the back of the truck and on the hook.

Thought that a videogame-themed pin might look ok sitting by Super Flipper - a pin-themed videogame.

oh well. get out the damn door a little earlier next time.
