not bad for a machine which after a board service and with everything working seems to have one dead display.

should have left it at 500.

No playfield pic.  Backglass is bubbling up everywhere.  Cab needs resto.

Yeh - the old panic of "i might not get what i want/ need for this - better ramp it up!"

BIN $3500???........ pushing the boat out on that one

Exactly. Won't get $3500, that is a mess. At $2000 it is a very expensive project machine - it might "work" but I'd be surprised if there were not any wiring / connector hacks. It is easy to remove the boards and send them off for repair, but no one charges the $1500 increase for board repair !

How hard is it to take some decent photos? It just makes you think that stuff is being hidden (which I actually expect is the case here).

let me know

[beaky]

well some one has bid on it, $2000 for a clapped out playboy,wow

[Caveoftreasures]

yeh, the owner bid on it himself probably. 

someones junk is someone elses treasure, but in this case, overpriced x 10.

some poor bastard will buy it and then committ suicide when it arrives.

The photos and the backglass condition tell it all.

Wide bearth!~
