It all depends on condition. Are the machines straight out of a container requiring resto work, or machines that are in good condition from someones collection.

Lets say from someones collection ready to play to make life easier.

Indiana jones - $3500 to $5000 (redecalled equals higher figure)

Theatre of magic - $4000 to $5000

T2 - $2500 to $4000 (getting hard to find in great condition with great playfield n great cabinet which would be the $4000)

Cftbl - $2500 to $3750 (depending again on cabinet and hologram condition)

Twilight zone - $4000 to $6000 (again new cabinet decals etc makes it towards $6000)

Sttng - $3000 to $4500 (again, great playfield n cabinet gets more money)

If u are talking container pins, start at the lowest figures and u could even deduct 10 or 20 percent from the bottom figures for "as is" container pins.
Hope it helps, alot of people will have very different pricing for the same pins. See what the other members feel.  ^^^

I am definitely no expert, but some of the prices some people are asking for some container pins are quite high considering some of the junk in there and the amount of work needed to get them up to speed from as is condition.

"Price check" can mean a number of things and the differences between a container pin and a resconditioned or restored pin are huge. I'm going to assume that the machine will be reconditioned to a high standard, and not just container machines with a quick clean.

Indiana Jones - $3500 - $4300. Add $700 - $1000 if the cabinet is redecalled.

Theater of Magic - $4000 - $5000. Ramps, plastics and trunk have to be in great condition if asking price is $4800 +

T2 - $2600 - $3300. Playfield insert wear is the norm these days.

CFTBL - Hologram complete and green. $3500 - $3800

ST TNG - $3400 - $3800 - bonus if the plastics are unbroken and the inserts don't have wear. If the ramps are replaced you could be looking at $4400


Shop around and visit as many dealers as possible - notice the differences in standard and always check to see if a member has one for sale.
