Good buy? Maybe My First Pinball?! Flight 2000 by Stern

Found this around town today, it's Flight 2000 by Stern. It seems to power up, the balls were stuck in varies parts of the board, the voice synth worked and said something tangible (i don't remember what), but the coin mechs were locked and ate my quarters, so I didn't get to test it out.

Also, there's wood showing through in various pieces of the playfield, mainly the center of the field about 12" above the flippers, and the ball chute. Some of the wood around the edges of the machine is worn as well. I've included some pics.

What do ya'll think is a good price to pay for this thing?

I`m not sure about price but from the pic that backglass looks pretty good. The last few I saw were flaking & veining bad !
 
I'd say $350-400. I think I paid $350 for mine with a cruddy backglass.

You can still get new plastics, repro playfield, and the backglass may be re-run soon (if that makes a difference to you).

And for the record it's a pretty cool game.
 
flight 2K is a great pin....especially for a first-time buyer. that was actually my first pin.....and i regret selling it to this day. it's just fun.

good luck.

i hope to buy another one someday....





edit: and if you're talking about wear around the inserts directly above the flippers, i believe that is a common trouble spot. mine had wear there as well. not sure what that should do to the price, as everything seems to be location-specific nowadays....

Nice Pin,

I have one in really nice shape.

I think there are pics of it on my Facebook page.

The Multiball rocks!
