Yep, such a shame when you see them let go like that.

Whether it was working or not, why leave a machine out in the weather.  What would a decent working Volley be worth these days - $2500????  Unfortunately it looks like everything is trashed.

What a shame. Brilliant machine. New cabinet might bring it back to life.

It's generated a bit of interest so maybe it gets a 2nd chance. Between PBR, Bgresto and PinballRescue miracles are possible

Geez what a mess.....

Seen this on more occasions than I would like... guy replies to one of my ads.. go round and machine has been on the back deck in full sun and rain for a few years... no longer working.
Guy still maintains that these are rare as hens teeth and machine is worth " f**in' thousands mate"

I thought it may have been over priced at $50.  I don't think there would be too much on the machine to salvage by the looks of it.  Volley has long been on my wish list but it looks like there is one less out there now.

The planking and lifting paint on the PF... the warped cabinet.. the rust and seized parts inside.. the flaking backglass.
At a certain point, it no longer even warrants being a "parts" machine

Looking at it, theres a tarp its been under, whilst theres lots of mold the pf looks pretty clean, no big ruined areas. metal trim is ok as its stainless. Provided there's a lid on the back box maybe the chipbord innards have survived maybe not. motor board sits off the bottom so water maybe drained down the glass, under the holdown bar and out the probably ruined base.

Kind of reminds of Ninos Pro Football only with a ruined b/g. That turned out pretty nice.

As a Volley owner I really hope it gets a second chance. I wouldn't touch it at $355 but but someoneseither a sucker or has a plan, maybe has a good donor.

Please have a happy ending little Volley  $!&
