Average shape for it age. Right paddle does not work.
 
BostonPinball's Ebay Average shows it at about $375.

Bad Flipper, needs to be shopped, $200-$250 sounds fair.
 
375? Dang, must not be a good pin then. I can supposedly get one for 150, if he still has it. But if its only worth 375 working, I wont even bother...damnit.

Thanks for info.

I saw that one too.

Any pin is worth 150$. Just to far of a drive for me
 
150 sounded really cheap to me, for a 80`s pin. I figured it was boring pin or something. But if it has sounds and lights, it may very well be worth 150 to me. I just dont know how much it would cost to get flipper working. And once I got bored with it, could I make my money back?

Ive only played a few pins ever, Gorgar was first one I ever played. I ussually played arcade games at the gameroom. I dont really have room for a pin. But I have plenty of room in garage/barn for it though. My stereos and tv have never been damaged out there...But I did build a laminated cabinet for them...

DonnyJJ2005, you have I-Robot? Man I played the hell out of that at the old record store/ticketron...

Robot is a fun game...Im thinking of selling it though...anyways

Coil=15$
Rubber set=15$
New lights=20$
Your time=??????

200 For a shopped fully working pin?????? Sounds like a steal to me
 
Well when I played Robot I was like 14-15, and it was at the local record store. But I kinda lived in that store, so played the game often. That game was a reason to hang out there, which in return got me in good with owners, which in return got me good concert tickets. They only had like 3 games there. I am from Ohio as well.

Welcome to the forums, and the sickness of collecting...lol
 
What should I look for, if it is still there? And is it possible if I play it there it could work, but after I get it home and play it for a few hours it wouldnt?...Meaning, is it possible for it to not work after it is warmed up? I know anything is possible, just saying.

I am sure I could fix the flipper issue with help from this site. And it dont seem like it would cost too much either. Maybe I should get a hold of him and see if he still has it...
 
Id look for playfield wear, flaking backglass, displays are good, but for 150$ cant be too picky.

For me playfield wear is number 1#, i can fix anything else
 
i tryed to get it from the guy but willnt return e-mails or call me.i just wanted it for parts for mine.good old craigs list got to love it the bullshit never ends
