What are your thoughts on Class of 1812? I thought it looks like a fun pin. Never played it though. And how about price? There are few machines for sale in my general location...wondering if its worth pursuing.
 
It's a charming, funny pin. Gameplay is relatively simple, and after a while it becomes too easy/boring in a small collection or on its own. However, in a collection, it's a fun oddball game. I still ended up selling mine, but I enjoyed it while it was here. Excellent music & voice, and funny EARLY-90's monster raps. The chattering teeth are funny, and the heart beating (if there and working) is very cool. Only has 2-ball multiball....but the highlight of that is the 1812 overture sung by chickens!

I paid $1200 for mine a few years back, in decent shape. It's hard to find these in great shape...the one I had was the best of the 3 or 4 I had seen....but still had some cracking playfield paint, the hand was missing, the heart (while there) was deteriorating a bit. I've seen totally blown out ones w/ missing parts go for about $300 at auctions. If the heart/hand are there and the playfield is really nice...maybe $1500?

Unfortunately I didn't take any gameplay video, but if you go to the very and of my old gameroom tour video, I show the heart beating:
