$1,580.00 with 20 hours to go.

Have to love the following question and answer (looks like he needs to learn to spell also)

Q:  Hi, just wondering if there is anything that needs repairing on the machine at all? Any wear on the playfield? Any repairs to the circuit boards at all? Would you consider a buy it now price and if so, what would you take for the machine? Regards, BT 03-Apr-09
A:   look i havent used the pinni for a few years so yea it may be due for a service the board is in very good shape it has 3 ball play at once and 4 player also coin operated teh external paint is adverage but internally is good shpae i have already been offerred $2200 so may be best if you make a bid thanks

Forgive my ignorance (or stupidity ) but what sort of dollars would you expect to pay for a BK2K?
I would of thought around $2k sounded reasonable, if it was in good nick.......Cheers

I'd say $2000 + is the going rate for a working BK, and $2200 - $2500 for a BK2K

I think BK2K are worth slightly more than a BK.

they both are great pins to play.
but by george did i have some dramas with my bk.
i didn't know much about pins back then, and the wankers i bought it off couldn't do repairs for s##t.
one of the dramas i had was the pop bumper coil would stay on permently, sent the driver board back 3 times to the company i bought it off and 3 times it came back with a note saying there was nothing wrong with the board when they tested it on there test rig.
so i had to learn how to diagnose then. ended up having to change 2 transistors and an i.c. Before i changed them i rang the company that sent it back and they tried to tell me that the board was fine it must be a fault some where else in the pin.
A week later i got a phone call with an apology, there was a fault in there test rig.

Finished at $2,025  *.*

The way the questions and answers read that this pin is not 'pug in and play'

Have a feeling this might be listed again soon

What makes u say that? Just curious, as I was tempted....The photo's, although a bit blurry, seemed to indicate the
machine wasn't in too bad a nick......I am still looking for my 1st pinball, and this was right up my alley, but now that you
have commented, I thought what am I missing? Cheers
