Sold GnR LE up for trade

[s000m]

With all my projects complete I'm looking for some pins to keep me busy.

I have new cliffy's arriving for the scoop and posts (carbon fibre washers).

Along with a new magnet coil (you may want to keep this disabled however as people from the forum have mentioned these like to fail.


Machine looks to have had some chipping under a washer by the drum popper. This is however covered up by the washer as well as the new cliffy washers I'll install on Monday.

No other chipping or pooling I have observed.

At present I'm interested in trades of Bally/Williams machines but would also consider sterns.

A monster bash is high on my list.

Machine is in great condition with red titan rubbers across 2/3 of the playfield with some stock clear silicon rubbers at the back (these were pretty much brand new so left them in place) I will supply the full remaining rubbers if you do want to replace them regardless.

There is a oil spot on the glass where the previous owner used some sort of acidic cleaner... It's however in the apron area so not a major issue (see picture)

Machine has roughly 1000 plays.

Any other questions please ask.

Cliffy's arrived.

New scoop installed.

Miles better than the factory. Also polished the scoop tongue for good measure.

I have had a few offers. However it's proving difficult to land on 2 pins out of people's lists.

I may end up taking a cash offer and just wait on the pins.

For transparency I'm after the following pins:

Whitewater
Judge Dredd
Star Trek The Next Generation
Scared Stiff
Theatre of Magic
Monster Bash
Walking Dead
Star Trek Vengeance (premium)

Some I realise command more than others so in some combinations I'm willing to negotiate a price that we both find amicable.

Additionally if I were to sell this, it would be the price I paid for it which is £9400.

It's had the cliffy's and new titan rubbers and balls, so it's already a loss earner to me.

Thanks everyone for all the offers. Have been debating with the wife over the options and it ended up between a TOM or SS.

I've always wanted an Elvira Pin so looking forward to it.

Sale is now pending the swap.

Thanks again for all the offers (even a MM!) Wish I could get them all .

Love SS (it is an easy game) - loads of fun. I am an awful player so does not bother me owning an easy game.....

Also a big fan of ToM.

Wont go wrong with either.

The best of the later Bally/Will games MM included and I’m sure you will love it.
Had mine about 10yr and never thought I’d ever sell it but the guy gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse about 2.2k
This was huge money back then

I was saying to Scott the other day that I stopped buying Scared Stiff's when they went over £1800

Think I told you when I paid £2K for a MM in the early 2000s. Sat in my car with my head in my hands saying 'why have I just paid £2000 for a pinball?'
This was when AFM and CV went for £1300.
Those were the days.
Hey @Matt Adams - we need to build that time machine in your garage.

Yeah lol A Creature was £700 a EATPM was £500 and a GnR s £600 lol. My entire 12 pin collection with a CC, MM, TOM, CV and MB was worth about £16k!!! Wish I’d bought an Indy back then. Any more room on that time machine

You’ve not even got the crate playfield wear. Lovely looking machine. You can see why people tend to hang on to them.
