Dealers would have absolutely no idea how to price Woodrails. That's why they don't sell them as they use the "rare" and "collectible" tags on anything, setting the price to $4000 and wondering why they don't sell. Each game would need to be researched and then assessed. Woodrail collectors value good playing games. If they don't know the game, they will play it before making an offer.

It's in the states so i'll just have to muddle through it myself i suppose. Won't be playing it first and wouldn't know what was good or bad about them anyway.


Thanks for the response.

I paid $500 for a mint Playfield mint Backglass 1940 flipperless woodrail,  and paid $1500 for a completely stuffed one with all melted pop bumpers etc because I liked the Backglass and look of the game, 

    There’s no set pricing on woodrails people name a price and people either buy them or not sadly

Titan rubbers are the way to go I’ve found them to be the closest to real rubber without the cracking in a months time

Mitch is just completing a go through of the Control tower. He sent me this pic of it next to a regular EM.

Yeah Nino that Jet Spin is ROUGH!! Customer just wants it working, doesn't want the cab done (at this stage at least.. and i can't commit to any more cab restores at this point in time anyway!!). It's missing the chime box... i know its a long shot but does anyone happen to have one they wanna part with??  @@^ @@^

And yes Control Tower is in nice shape.. it looks like the playfield has been restored and cleared, and the backglass is as good as it looks in person as it looks in the picture!
