Mark has a BK2000 on the way..

I would think maybe $2000-$3000 depending on overall condition?

Whatever price you have set yourself !  <.>

IF you can find a BK buy it ! Not many have turned up in the past couple of years....

New playfield is worth close to $1000 AU on its own...

My guess is if the owner has gone through the effort to install a new pf then the rest of the machine will be in good condition...

Some people have big HEADS !

RB think you need more pin space to cater for your insatiable lust for more pinballs.

Make a list of possibles, then go and play them somewhere to verify that you do like them. (And playing on vpinmame will give you a feel for gameplay.)

Then try to prioritise - come up with a top three or five. Stay on the look-out for those games and when one comes along in the right condition and price for you, buy it.

nice pin if you get it.
make sure that you put some mylar over the magna saves, (if it doesn't have them allready)
those magna saves even though great are murder on the playfield.
even when the bk was about 5 years old (back in 1985) a lot of them had wear marks on the magna saves.

I agree with everyone here - $2000 - $3000 would be realistic. New playfield + $1000+

Make sure you play it first, Paul. I've found other (cheaper) Williams to be better machines - like Swords of Fury  :2cents:

an f14 tomcat went for $1500 on the gold coast this week.
sof is probably a bit hard to find, but i suppose a bk is not too easy to find either.

Don't dream it mate - "go for it". It may take a while, but there's no reason why you can't have most of the titles you really want in your collection.

Hey Rod,

He doesn't have an EM in that lineup anymore either - how about one Paul?  #@#
