Does sound expensive. You would have to guess the seller would be happy with an offer over $4500.

You would have to really want the game as I can think of a few other real good pins I could get for that money (or even a couple of lesser but still good titles).

I sold my fully restored Strikes and Spares for around the $2600 - $2700 mark. This included all the boards rebuilt. There is no "rating" on the condition of the power board, connectors (repinned) - and I wonder if the original battery is still in place ?

Way overpriced  @@^

I'd think about $2000 too much in the current market if it is as good as it is made out to be.

Playfield looks very nice on this one.

Is the backglass flaking down the bottom?  It's hard to tell if it is reflection or flaking.

The front of the backbox doesn't look yellow   !@#

Thanx for the heads up....have left a message atm. Will wait for a response, but definatley well priced and looks good. Local to which is a bonus

Have a think about buying this machine and another one down the track - I really don't think you will find a perfect machine in one hit, well not easily anyway, but you will be able to put one together from a few machines.

I have a "Perfect Machine" Strikes & Spares you will want to view, and i'm in East subs of Vic....

Backglass 10/10
Playfield 9.5/10
Cabinet overall 8-9/10.

This is THE cleanest S&S anyone's seen (according to all visitors) and i doubt there's better around form all the ones i've seen....

Daniel might chime-in and confirm, as he and his mate saw/played it a while back....
