Hi Guys,
I'm looking for some advice. I want to get a Pinball machine so I went to a place local to me that generally has Arcade Cabinets and old Pins and EM machines.
He has the following:
Bally Rapid Fire: Not working (battery leaked and killed the board). Looks to be in reasonable shape other than that. He's asking $250.
Atari Space Riders: Working, complete. Play field shows some wear, back glass is in good shape (as far as I could tell). Didn't see it play, but it lights up... I think he'd take $600 for that one. Apparently it's rare as Atari didn't make many Pins?
Bally Evel Knievel: Not working (battery leak again), looks like there was a fire behind the back glass, it's all covered in soot in there. Back glass looks good, lots of play field wear. No top glass. I think he'd take $450.
So, my question is this... Are any of these worth looking at more seriously? I've got no idea of value when it comes to pins, and don't want to over pay.
Thanks in advance.
