EM jack in the box

[narf]

hey guys

been offered from what i told is a really really nice jack in the box EM. awaiting pics but it is comming from a perth amusement dealer

thoughts

i like the look of the heaps of targets 4 flippers and lower down bumpers

talking WA prices to reflect a possible value too btw

4 player EMs are alot of work to get going, but once they are right they are reliable like any good EM. Its a great game, I am not sold on the position of the pop bumpers/no slingshots. This is one game that you need to shake the living daylights out of, to keep it from draining.
Definately a fun and challenging game   Collectors wont sell good examples of jack in the box, or the 2 player Jumping Jack. I reckon 1500 private here for a sweet example, so maybe 1800 WA? A dealer could charge 3k easily, especially in WA for this collectable title.

An AWESOME title. The layout reminds me of King Pin. Look for wear around the upper outholes - very common. Play a 4 player game on the machine just to ensure it works 100% - most faults on these are with the player unit / score reels and they are always easy fixes. Hopefully it comes with schematics. Price ? Depends on condition, and these don't come up for sale very often as collectors hold on to this title. I agree with Greg - $1500 for a nice example - Collector's condition - $2000 +

From reading this maybe i shouldnt have parted mine out to hang on the wall

Haven't seen a 'Jack in the box' since playing when I was ALOT younger. I do like the PF layout and it would be a classic machine to restore and own. Go for it if in reasonable condition.

bloke is talking of swapping for a pin of mine i have listed on ebay

all depends on his pics and if someone bids before he sends them

if not could sort out a cash price

[Extra Ball]

he can prob get 3k for your BOP

[narf]

yeah been told that i can get that much but being 2hrs from perth makes it a burden for some people i have found


if she sells going to look at a local EM and will have change to hopefully secure another

A Jumping Jack sold on eBay a few weeks back for just over $900.00.

I have one that I purchased for $700.00 not working a few years back.  So I would think it only worth between $1000.00 to $1500.00 tops depending on condition.

It is a great EM game to play, especially if you like TARGET games.

well after 4 or 5 emails requesting pictures i got no reply

my pin didnt even sell so they didnt even make a comeback offer

shows how much they were really keen on swapping

[Extra Ball]

I am surprised you havent sold your BOP Narf, at 2k it should be a steal in WA.

[narf]

yeah

might have a AA member comming to look next week. seems a tough crowd 

[v8racefan]

[narf]

local pool table place is pumping out 1066 cabinets for 2k. seen him unloading a few during work hrs
