Two project Playboys (one with a cab already repainted) sold for around the $3400 mark on eBay about 4-6 weeks ago. In this auction, it is clearly stated that the machine was bought as a project, and no work was done on the game (to retain its character). So it is STILL a project.
Playfield has a massive amount of wear and has been touched up in MANY places. Would require a resto or replacement.
Cabinet needs a repaint
Electronics shows signs of attempted repairs (look at the BR mounted on the backbox). Displays look faulty and overdriven.
Backglass looks to be in great shape
No bids as it is overpriced. The pictures show the condition of the machine - it is still a project and I would think it would not be worth anything over $1800.
If you have a repro playfield lying around, then it would be worth persuing. But not at $2800.
I will be restoring my Playboy soon - with repro playfield and cabinet repaint.
