Jurassic Park, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Twister -- Meet at Kingsport Auction?
-----TWISTER HAS BEEN SOLD-----
I'm looking to freshen up the collection and have Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Twister to trade. (JP is no longer available -- sorry.)
(NOTE: I have decided that I am also open to outright sales of these machines: $1,600 for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein -- $1,400 for Twister.)
I live in Harrison, TN (just a few minutes north of Chattanooga, TN), but will be going to the auction in Kingsport, TN on Saturday, September 8, and would be able to bring any (or all) of these games with me for a meet-up.
I'm predominately interested in DMD-era Bally/Williams & Stern machines, but would consider anything as long as it's not an EM.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: Fully working. DMD is in perfect working order. Playfield is in great condition. I have just recently installed brand new playfield glass and a new translite.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Twister: I've been working on this machine for a couple years and have over $1,700 invested in it. The game is fully playable, but wants to blow a spinner disc fuse at the first or second multiball sequence. I don't have the knowledge needed to fix this problem, and am tapping out.
One of the legs is bent a little (and they all could use a repainting) and there's an exit gate assembly (part # 515-6490-01-41) missing on the loop ramp (not sure how it even affects the game), but otherwise, the machine is solid and plays fine.
The playfield is in great condition. I just recently replaced the bad DMD it had (which you can see in the pics), and it now has a nice DMD that works perfectly. I've also recently hired a tech to go throughout the entire machine, straightening out any dodgy wiring.
Below is a list of the many new parts I've installed:
