Its one I shopped less than 2 years ago, Leds, rebuilt flippers, stripped cleaned and polished(which on a hook is a lot of work) NVRAM on board so no batteries, new roms etc, hes taking a big loss on it at that price, you'd pay maybe 2500 for an untouched Hook, powder coating was excellent and included speaker/dmd surround. There was a touch up on playfield where ball drops on hooks shoulder. HOOK is a great pinball, lots of fun ramps etc I've had another since and only sold as needed the cash-I'll get another soon!

No they wasn’t, he sold me the LOTR LE that had a damaged bottom under the coin box that had been repaired badly, warped playfield and a crap load of wiring mess from his modding.
Apart from that it was great!
If I had known I would have stayed clear.

Buy one that’s had the work done unless you like getting your hands dirty and spending £££ on parts plus the time needed to do everything. The small premium on this Hook is worth it in my opinion if you plan on playing it a lot.

I can attest to this Fact as I ended up with a Spadge super special Pin!
Overloaded with mods with wires literally wrapped around bulb tabs without solder 😳
I was having a ton of problems and only realised when it blew a fuse and I lifted the PF discovering spaghetti junction.
A 7A fuse has been put in place of a 5A one obviously to stop it blowing.
It had about a dozen mods fitted inc ColourDMD, Speaker Lights and many other powered direct from the pin.
Stripped every mod out of there and fitted my own PSU to power the ones I put back in and it never missed a beat.
Now long gone.

The flipper fuses under the playfield were over rated and ended up blowing transistors and damaging the coils, smelt great😂
I also cleaned up the wiring, was so bad I had to laugh. Fire waiting to happen.

That was my worry and I let the seller know who had a few of these super special editions without realising just how bad things could go down.

When this was listed at £9000 or so I messaged and asked how much he really wanted. He’s just replied and said £7400 is the lowest offer he’d take. Then I looked again and see he’s currently got it listed BIN at £6000.

He’s just sent me an offer via EBay, because I’m watching it, of £4,500 to buy it.

I’ve sent him a message to say he’s way off with the pricing and said he may get £1,500 to £2,000 for it.

I hope he takes it in the spirit intended.

i do love rebuilding and building stuff in general but i currently know very little about the innards of a table so one thats been recently serviced would be ideal. May drop him a message :)

Nice looking machine but the sound would get old with me really fast, like the 2nd play. I think your valuation is bang on.
 
It’s been on e bay for a long time and not sold with a Hugh audience he obviously over paid for it and trying to recover as much back if you did pay £2750 for it when you come to sell it expect to lose money
