I bought this machine recently. It was actually outside in a garden but was well covered. Owner said it stopped working and he couldn't fix it.
The cpu was badly corroded although the 3 x D cell Duracells were located off the board.
The game is now fully working after replacing the shorted line filter, replacement CPU board, ribbon cable and game ROM. CPU board is a nice one from a Funhouse. The DMD is very good no faults.

Selling as a project - although it now plays OK with everything working. I have other projects that I'd rather be doing and need the space.

The pictures show the game on decent chrome legs but these are my spares - see photo of legs which belong to the game. The feet are all free and decent enough.

The cabinet is solid but faded and the backbox sides are not great with the left side delaminating at the back edge. The side rails have small dents but not that bad. The lock bar has a couple of small marks.

The translite looks a bit faded and has a few marks. Repro available from Pinball Center if required.

I have replacement plastics for all the broken ones and I have a blue and a yellow box target on order to replace the broken / wrong one. Also have a new plastic chrome strip for the backbox top.

Hopefully the photos show everything in reasonable detail but if you need anything else just ask.

Asking £1,200.

Nice project at a sensible attractive price.
GLWS but I'm sure this won't need much encouragement.
 
I had a fully working Shaq Attaq in good nick for £1500 and was no takers, market on its knees for these types of titles :D
 
I hate to say but I would think it probably is worth more than the asking price in parts. The price of low end games has come down for sure but the price of working parts is still increasing. A wpc transformer is £££ alone.
Someone please buy it before I get tempted for a second Gilligan's!
 
And this is were the market stagnates. No one can free up machines for new titles because people aren't buying them.
The prices being asked for some 30 year old machines are way too high. I can understand prices asked for newish machines maybe up to ten years old, but expecting to make a profit on older machines? I've been looking for months with money ready for a 90s or 20s pin but won't overpay. I haven't had a machine at home for a decade and was shocked when I saw the current prices. Still got a way to fall imo and sellers are going to have to take a hit to move pins on. Covid may have been profitable for some but now is the downside. Ebay is a joke and too many potential scams on facebook doesn't help inspire confidence either.

I would hazard a guess that themes have something to do with it too.

Games released in 1991 by Bally or Williams include:

The Machine: Bride Of Pinbot
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
Hurricane
Party Zone
Harley Davidson

I doubt many of them would still be sitting here if they were listed @ £1200

Not sure I’d put T2 in that list. Those usually go pretty quick around here.
 
The true fact is £1200 is easy to say! But now its hard to get when our fun money is harder to achieve. Its just the times we live in. is my 2 pennies opinion.
