which pin to get. lethal weapon3 1 1/2 hours away. broken topper,no keys no door lock.
good otherwise 750. or strange science, 4 hours each way very nice condition with cover 800.both are 100% working.so im told.
 
Strange Science is what i would go for.. I just like that theme alot better. Looks like a good deal either way.
 
I got to play a Strange Science at the White Rose Game Show 2010 and although I loved the theme, it really made me go "meh". The price is low, but parts are hard to find for this one, so I understand.

The LW3 is pretty darn fun, even though I loathe the film, and that price is a steal if it's complete and functional and in at least "B" condition. Usually I see LW3s for much higher.

I must say the "Leo Getz" movie quotes are very annoying after a while.

The missing keys are somewhat of a bonus - easy to fix if it keeps the price really low.

Make sure the topper for Strange Science is there, that's hard to find.
 
the topper is complete for strange science. from the pics i got it looks to be in great condition. im going with lethal weapon. i just dont want to make the 8 hour round trip.
 
Locks are a very easy fix. I just went through a Midway 6803 Motordome game. Strange Science is the same vintage. They were made during Midway's cheap phase. The cabinets are made of particle board and even the coin chutes are made of plastic. If I had the choice that you have, I'd go for the LW3 as well.

Getting both would be the way to go,I wish i could find pins like that where i live finding pins for sale in my area
is never any luck.An old Rolling stones popped up about three weeks ago and it was in horrible condition,Non working,
boards missing,and sold for 500 bucks.what a waste of money

I want to change my vote. After looking at the average retail of the pins, it looks like the resale value of the Strange Science is much higher(2x). $wise you are getting a much better deal on the SS. I haven't played either one so that's really all I have to go on.

Sweet! I heard the best part is that Joe Pesci's character says "ok, ok, ok" all the time. One of my all time favorite phrases in movies LOL
 
here are some pics.

The latest ROMs get rid of this. Probably breaks your heart. ;)

They also let you choose between three different background music loops.
 
game plays fine. everything works play wise. dmd is good,no missing lines. put in new batteries. no acid damage. several lights out on right side of translight. several playfield lights,are out also. changed some lights on backbox. still not working.all the fuses look good. any suggestions? not for nothing,this pin has been stored in a garage for 5 or 6 years
was on route before that and still plays light years better than most pins i find in the wild.
how sad is that. and the ok,ok,ok,line does get a bit old. i can change music on it and sounds. anyway im having a great time with it.
