Disregarding the price - THIS is how you restore a KISS to the "Best I've ever seen" standard. I'm a little peeved at the legs (wrong color), but this machine is what you would expect for $10,000.

As a KISS fan, I'd need a COA (certificate of Authenticity) for the signatures or a phot of them signing it. That does not look like Ace's sig.

Rather neat isn't it?! Huge $ but at the $10K you suggest I could see a fan being keen.

Nino, you are marking too easy!  I would expect for $10,000:

• New nylon acorn nuts (not rubber push ons - this is a Bally!)
  Original board set
  Original Bally coils
  Original displays
  Transformer cage installed
  Bally flipper bats
  Plastic rectifier board cover installed
  Bally sticker on the front door

On a less picky note, they have done a great job looking at the picks, just not sure who would want to buy it at that price

cheers

  !!!I WANT IT! Its so perfect he's asking a bit for it but its better than any new stern anyday and its got signed plastics!

I'm not a kiss fan but I would become one if I had that machine!

Wait a second for that price i'd want LED displays and why not this one http://cgi.ebay.com.au/KISS-Pinball-Machine-MINT-CONDITION-/110612789129?pt=AU_CoinOp&hash=item19c1093789 for the price this one is better! but now looking at the playfields a kiss is now on my wish list!

the advert says it has LED displays.

Thats does look nice but as Nino says legs are the wrong colour. And is that coin door sticker the correct one?   reason i ask is that i want to make sure i get the right one for my own KISS  

Seeing these KISS machines looking nice is really firing me up to get more done on my own kiss. My pf is now finished and i'll be starting on the cab this weekend  
Being the most wanted game on my wishlist, my own KISS will be the flagship game of my collection.. the jewel in my pinball crown so to speak

According to the flyer, it is incorrect. Having said that, the KISS machine's Dad operated (from NIB) didn't have front door stickers.

So the only thing "Original" is the Cabinet.

Would you really call it a restore ?
