I have someone who is selling a working Vagabond and they said $150 is the asking price. It needs some rigorous cleaning and some replacement to be fully working but what is the value of a machine like this? This is going to be my first pinball machine if my wife lets me spend the money =P

His asking price in that condition is reasonable. Clean and working ~$500.
Not to be a EM nazi, but are you SURE you want to buy an EM? If that's your first pin AND all your wife has ever played are the newer SS with or out without DMD displays she just might be dissapointed.

My wife hates EM's and to be completely honest they bore me to to tears as well. Different strokes for different folks for sure!
 
thanks for the info. i just wanted to get my feet wet in pins at a low. I dont know anything about restoring or repairing them and i know more modern pins can be real expensive. do you recommend an inexpensive, common SS to start off with?
 
If it was local it would already be in my garage getting shopped out for $150 !!!
Vagabond was the 1st Williams pin with a drop target.

nice to hear the counter argument. it is local!

you think it would fit in a ford explorer?
 
i would have considered renting a ferrari to transport me that fast to scoop up a vagabond for $150!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

me and my dad have been wanting one of those for 10 years!!!!! no joke... the artwork is very nice and i dont say that about pinball machines much at all

i was begging a seller in philadelphia (4 hour drive for me) to save me his for $400 but the guy had someone else coming to get it the next day

i say definetly get it for $150....you probably wont LOSE money on it
