I have a colleague who has expressed an interest in buying a Bally Mata Hari pinball.
As is often the case it is the game that brings back long lost memories of youth for him.
It would be a first pin and he would like one in reasonable, but not necessarily collector, condition.
I've explained to him that pinball ownership is a serious addiction/condition and one is never enough and he has accepted that.
So here is the question or two, I haven't seen one in years (try 20+):
What is a reasonable price for either the EM or SS version in decent condition?
Does anybody have one looking a for a new home or can anybody point us in the direction of one?
I'm also happy to consider a game with some issues but good cosmetics as I'm happy to assist my colleague in getting it into a better state through cleaning, mechanical repairs, sending boards off to the forum repairers etc.
Thanks for any guidance!
I did see one sitting on its back behind some others at PSPA a couple of months ago. I can't comment on the condition as I couldn't get a good enough look at it and obviously wasn't set up to play.
Can't hurt to call and ask if it's still there.
