Wildcard,

If you can get some better pictures from the seller it would help. The scoring markers and ashtrays are not pictured, the playfield looks very hazy (may just be the picture, but...) with the center logo looking weak (not crisp or fresh), definitly request a shot with the cabinet up, the side that gets the most use is the coin side and that's where the laminate gets the most abuse so get a shot from that side too. The dark cabinet TS tables (from my experience) were notorious (probably caused by moisture) for laminate cracks and flaking, and there isn't a full shot of the coin side - GET ONE!

I'd be really cautious on this one.

Tyler

Thanks Tom, that must have just been listed.

I agree, Tyler, that table looks like it could be trouble. It appears they have it sitting outside on some gravel, who knows for how long? The surface looks dingy perhaps from a massive dust/dirt/grime deposit, since there is also dust on the coin mech. And if they don't know if the coin mech works, they probably don't have the keys to get in the cabinet in the first place...and no coin markers or ash trays sucks! (I'd only use the ash trays to hold candy, anyway, lol)

Add all that up with it being overpriced and a minimum 60 mile drive just to see it, I'll probably have to pass on this one, lol

But keep looking, Tom, we'll find one yet!
