Sounds very tidy, but im always sceptical of touch ups that are not shown... well worth keeping an eye on though... oh id be wanting to look at this in the flesh just to settle my mind

The same seller had a Prospector EM I was watching, end early, the quote was "item no longer for sale".
Might be worth an offer if anyones interested.

Fantastic game - looks awesome and plays the same.

Pity almost all the reds have dropped out in this games backglass - that goes to all Flying Chariots I have seen over the years.

Always wanted a Gottlieb EM with a manual ball loader.
Problem is convincing Mrs Bossninja.
I can't fit anymore pins in my half of the garage/games room, and no way Mrs Bossninja will park her car outside.

Tony -what do you reckon would be a reasonable price for Chariots ?
Wanted: GTB Aquarius backglass. Any playfield bits and backglasses from any EMs - nothing is junk to me.

Was happy to pay $1500 for mine but it wasn't working and has since had alot of new parts from PBR bought for her.

What will this one sell for? It's on eBay so that is anybodies guess. Would be surprised if it sold for less than $1500 as there hasn't been a ball lifter listed for awhile. The only thing this game doesn't have going for it is the very faded backglass.

Still - she is an awesome game in looks and the way she plays.

So a stab at the final price?

$1950

It looks to be a VERY nice machine, but the way the game is pictured - with no background etc, worries me unless I could see the machine personally.

I think $1600- $1700

Pics look a bit dodgy with the background whited out . Be very interesting to see what it goes for .

I agree with you Tony looks like the back glass is very faded has no red colouring left at all.

If the pictures didn't have all that "cropping" - then it might have increased the price.
