Hi guys,
I've got a project Egret 29, and I'm curious what it's worth in its current condition. I saw a poorly painted (black) Egret with a secondhand panel and no marquee sell for over $1,600 on eBay recently. It's got me thinking about selling mine.
This is my third Egret 29, but I sold the other two a long time ago. The market has clearly changed since then.
The good:
- Original six button panel
- Original marquee
- Nice looking picture
- Rare/desirable cab
The bad:
- This cab was apparently "dropped" off the back of a truck when the last owner purchased it (15 or so years ago). The metal support arms are bent, and the speaker shroud doesn't fit properly as a result.
- The screen rolls until it's warm
- Will need new locks
- Dent on the right hand side of the cab from the "drop"
- Needs cleaning, but I can take care of that
I could certainly fix her up, but given how many pinball projects I have going on, I'm not sure when I'll have the time. I'm wondering whether I should sell as-is, or go through a full refurb. It's really a matter of what you guys think it might be worth.
Thanks for any and all help!
