One gottlieb "Preview" will die so that others may live.
I picked up a 1962 Gottlieb "Preview" yesterday for a donor for a virtual pinball cabinet. It was in the shed for years. The playfield glass was broken, but otherwise, the machine is complete. I'm told the machine played before it was stored, but you know how that story goes.
I'm trying to find the best strategy for finding a home for the parts I won't be using: The populated playfield, the populated backglass board and the wired electical board on the bottom of the machine (with all the components and the tilt board).
As you can probably tell, I'm not fluent in pinballeeze, but I would like to maximize the value to the pinball community at large. What is the best strategy? To disassemble and sell the components individually, or just sell 3 large wired components individually, or just sell the entire transplant in one lot?
I don't know how universal any of these parts are and would appreciate any insights or opinions.
