Price check: Chicago Coin Speed Shift

[alejandromad]

I saw one of these 9 years ago, while grabbing some video games (Skydiver, Bandido and Lock'N Chase) and I liked it so much I took a bunch of pictures of it. Anyway... I checked with the guy and he still has it.

It was buried in a crapload of other cabinets but looked to be in nice cosmetic shape.
I have no idea if it works and I'll bet he doesn't know either.

Assuming decent condition, complete, and non-working... what's a decent price range?

Thanks very much.

 

[alejandromad]

no one? :-(

 

[dj10555]

perhaps $350

 

[alejandromad]

Thanks! He responded to me with "$600" and I was planning on a maximum of $400 so I think I wasn't far off.

 

[alejandromad]

Apparently the price is $150... if you are persistent, patient and find a different seller!
Ha.

Finally got one:

First EM? If so that one is very cool. I seen one sell last year on the bay for a few hundred and it had water damage...

You brought up bandido...if that is a black and white. My uncle who was in the coin op business gave one of those to my brother and I as a Christmas gift when I was 15 years old. I wish I still had it...

I have had a couple EM pins but nothing like this.

Yes, Bandido is B&W... it was just like the one listed in KLOV:

Pulled it out of the trailer for a guy in Ohio. I posted pics of the games on the newsgroup RGVAC and someone asked me to get it for them so I did. Same story with the Lock and Chase... that went to Boston and ended up at FunSpot in NH eventually.

Everything Gary has is $600; unless its one of the pre-1965 games he has, then it's 20K.....

Just had my family over for Arcade night. Bandido came up. Yes that's it thats the game. Love how the enemy came into the center to challenge you...

My arcade craze began long before that. Having our own arcade solidified my time investment in this hobby...

Regaridng the Speed Shift...really nice find...my ideal car game for my collection.

Have a good one!

Video?

I need a car game and need to decide on which to procure in the future. If and when your restoration is completed if you could share a video that be fantastic!

yea, and keep in mind it came from Summit Amusement so its life expectancy is
running low and he usually doubles (or more) the price that he bought it from
the boss for.

I will certainly share what I do, and learn. Sadly, it's winter in Minne-so-cold so it won't be started until spring.
