Could be a good deal for a NSW member maybe.

No way does that paint job top the beauty I bought

I just hope that the nice Firepower pinballs that I played in the 1980s are not one of these decrepid creatures.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.

You have to wonder what people are thinking sometimes when they come up with these custom paint jobs.  *!@
I've never seen one which improved the games looks.

Will need a replacement playfield + probably board work sooner or later.
I can't see condition of plastics .
It is such a classic game though so probably worth paying a bit more than something else .. If it were me I'd probably set my max at around $650, sight unseen.
I need more room ! and more $$$

Why don't you guys use Esnipe or something like it ? That way highest bidder wins without artificially forcing up the price in the meantime .

Best of luck to all those with their hat in the ring . Firepower is one of the best ever pins IMO .  ^^^ ^^^ Mine is not going anywhere .

I'm sure you all know CPR still have some repro playfields available too  &&  (and plastics  !@#)

Cheers

When I seen this post and just thought that we are bidding on each other as the bids are early .

i have put a bid  on both was the first bidder on the one that needs a new playfield and the backglass
allready inquired at cpr for a new playfield ..

and on the other i had a biding war and have put the price over $650

There will be many people that are looking at this as it is on ebay ..

someone will snipe this and it may not be any of us...

All of us are just looking for a bargain
