Hello all, I am reluctantly (very reluctantly) selling my Rescue 911 pin due to a house move and lack of space issues. It is in full working condition and plays fantastically, all lights bells and whistles working and in good order. The only work required was a replacement friction wheel for the rescue helicopter - this was done professionally along with a service by Andy at Pinball Mania. The coin mech is working fully. I have a ring kit and manual for the pin. There is some minor wear to the playfield as shown (usual areas, by left and right flippers) I am no expert but believe this could be remedied.....I do not detect any impact on the quality of play, but understand the need to point this out!!!

Cards on the table....I have no idea of the real value of this piece. I have figure in my brain but don't want to embarrass myself by broadcasting it on here!! I would rather be guided by the experts.....:) Any guide on the value would be appreciated. My untrained eye would place this in the fair to good condition bracket, maybe somebody could confirm or put me right!! I won't be offended lol. I attach a few images for your opinions!!! Regards, Gary (Goozers)
 
Looks like a fun dmd pin, @Matt Adams (like with most pins!) Has made a vid on YouTube, it looks a fun pin.


The playfield wear might lower the price some, but until pics are up it's hard to say. Good luck with the sale...

yes, i'm sure you're correct re the playfield. But that being said I think 850-1k wold be a fair price. I'm assuming the playfield could be lacquered or treated? Are you aware of anything I could use? I'm tempted to sell it as seen though as it doesn't affect play at all. Cheers for posting the vid, I will try again with the photos tomorrow.
 
Gotta be a fixed price I'm afraid as dems the rules, but no harm putting it at 1k and then dropping if you get no bites. Best thing to do is put it in the title of the thread.
 
Sorry about the delay folks, here are the photos. Thanks for your comments so far.

An interesting machine, I've never actually seen one in the wild before but the helicopter looks like a real neat gimmick. Sadly there's not a lot of Gottlieb love on here (I love them though 😂) Good luck with the sale mate!
 
No harm in putting it at 1k. But there was one on ebay that sat at 900quid for months.
Eventually a newbie who couldn't get another pin went for it for below the asking price.
So you may be sitting with it for a while. But you might get lucky.
It isn't a popular machine which is a shame.

Also touching up the playfield and clear coating it is quite a larger task than you may think. So don't be surprised if people will knock you down for it

Hi, I'm the newbie mentioned above. I would wholeheartedly recommend other newbies try R911 on pinball arcade, and then consider buying one. It has a DMD, 2 and 3 ball multi balls, fun missions, 4 player, and *everybody* who plays it will be able to active the helicopter. Good advice doesn't come around very often, but from what I've seen and played, R911 is currently undervalued.
