Hi everyone.
I found most wanted #2, Stern Dragonfist, today at a normal auction (non-coin op) today in Duncanville, TX.
Thanks to a heads up from a fellow KLOVer, I was able to find information on the auction and put a proxy bid by phone this morning.
I won the auction for $275 ($327 out the door).
The backglass is above average with some crazing in the Dragonfist letters.
The playfield is dirty but in great condition. I cannot see any significant damage or wear.
The one major PITA was breaking down the game. There is a power board inside the body of the cabinet. One of the previous owners had some wires soldered directly to the board. I ended up snipping the wire since the board will need some work since there were some burnt connectors.
Outside of the trouble in breaking it down, I am very happy with my find.
I am not sure if I will have the game functioning and cleaned up in time for the 2012 Texas Pinball Festival. But it will definitely be at the 2013 TPF!
Now if I could only find a Stern Star Gazer in one of the auctions and win it for $275!
