There's a Star Trip pinball not too far away from me. It's a cocktail machine, and the playfield looks to be in good shape (It does NOT work, so it'd be a project to get it going). I've never played the thing - does anyone know if it's any fun to play?
 
Had one, Fixed it, Sold It.

For a cocktail pin it isn't too bad, but not great. Gameplay is simple, but fitting to the period of the game. There are better cocktail games out there. If it does not work, it probably is the MPU board that is eaten alive with corrosion. Working boards are $100-$150 on Ebay, Echo Lake makes a replacement, I believe it runs $300. I rebuilt mine for about $80 in parts. FYI I paid $25 for mine, non-working.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, it does. I think I'm going to make a low offer after asking some questions - we'll see how bad they want rid of it.
