Looking for help / opinions on a possible Williams purchase
OK, I've been in the market for an early Williams digital pin (Blackout, Firepower, Gorgar, etc..) and ran across a Flash. Not the top of the list but definitely in the genre I'm looking at. The guy selling it gave me the following info:
----------------------------------------
I have a Flash I am asking $400 for.
No battery acid damage.
Some peeling on the BG mostly in the bottom 1".
Cabinet is pretty good.
Back of head seen a little dampness, an easy fix up.
PF is pretty decent, no major wear but plenty of ball swirls.
he is working on in it now and has replaced the sanbe sockets and got the CPU running, needs -90 volt output transistor, thats what he knows so far.
--------------------------
He's willing to go $300 without putting any more work into it. the question is, how difficult to fix are these things AND forget that it's a Flash pin (in case you dont like Flash) but keep in mind it's a 1979 pin, if this were a pin you wanted would you pay the $300 provided the playfield is in acceptable condition? This would be my first pin and I have no problem trying to diagnose / work on it as that'll be half the fun.
