maverick

[dealers choice]

Im just wondering what everyone thinks of the maverick pinball? Also what would one be worth in excellent condition?

1700-2100 tops.

Make sure the display is 100% as they will set you back $600 to get a new one shipped in from the US.

Also make sure the paddle wheel has been tuned up and is running at optimum speed. You can tell it is on the way out when the machine goes into ball search mode while the ball is in the paddle wheel. Best case scenario it needs a rebuild and a new belt, worst case it needs a new wheel motor.

Thanks. i didnt really want to pay the $2000 asking price. but i have been told its a pretty good players game.

The only read downside is that damn slow paddle wheel. Otherwise it is very addictive with lots of drops and that DMD size is awesome. Definitely worth more than suggested.

Horrible looking pin, as in the colour

Would like to play it,though

I think it looks good. only prob for me is theres too many different machines out there to choose from. and want another one. should brob wait and the right one will come up at the right time.

Good bang for ya buck machines are

Last Action Hero
Tales from the Crypt
Fishtales
Batman Forever
Frankenstein
Popeye


and the list goes on. Go out n try n play them all and go by your positive feedback and keep a open mind cause a lot of the $1700 to $2500 machines are absolute keepers and a lot of fun.
Rarely do the large dot matrix DMD displays play up on the Segas/Late Data Easts. Just price machine accordingly, and having a machine with the large DMD is an absolute bargain/best viewing ever.

Thanks guys for the advice. ive never played Maverick, and i know of a few machines id really like. especially tales from the crypt.

Just to let i know it isnt studleys pin im talking about. its just a coincidence he is selling a maverick for the same price as the one i was contemplating buying.

If you like to gamble and pot shots at targets, ths is a good game. LEDs definitely required as you may not always know what to shoot for. I enjoyed it while I had it and the new home it has gone to, really enjoy it. Movie suck s though!
Then again I have a VERY unique taste, I say go for it.

Took a long time, but I got offered a Maverick again last week. Its now at my place. It is a very addictive machine. Plays really well and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
