Williams Black Knight

[Boots]

What will this go for?
The playfield has some major missing paint and the backglass is very flakey.

I'm surprised that it even has a bid.

Is missing a heap of parts and then needs new everything. That would work out to be one very expensive BK.

Seller wanted 1k for BIN

That's a tired Black Knight which would be a great project if the playfields were still available (or rerun) and a repro backglass was available. I'm sure someone has bought a repro playfield set and has waited for a BK project like this.

Boards are available, and if this was a "Holy Grail" machine and the parts were available, it would be a great base for a ground up resto. Don't think you would get your money back, but it is a challenge !

Playfields are still available http://bayareaamusements.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=GS-BK-PF&Category_Code=GS-310&Product_Count=5

Plastic sets http://www.classicplayfields.com/store.html

Backglass is available http://www.mayfairamusement.com/rescreens.html but they won't ship O/S.

Cheaper to buy a decent example IMO

Ahh - They are still available at distributors. Good price, but their shipping would be a killer, especially if you are used to CPR's UPS deal. Shame about Mayfair.

I agree, if you want to own / play a BK, cheaper to buy a complete working game. From a resto point of view, it would be a challenge and you WOULD need that new backglass !
