SOLD

Post by Chitownpinball »

I have a nice Bally Pool Sharks I have just finished shopping.

Details:

Top was completely torn down and cleaned, new star posts, new lane guides, new rubber, warm white leds from pinball life. There is a lot of layered plastic on this machine.

Drop targets were taken apart and cleaned, they are snappy. LEDs in all inserts. Color matched ball inserts in the center. I have replaced a bunch of coil sleeves, but not all yet. I can include the remainder. I have been lazy about them, the game plays great as is.

I have a flipper rebuild kit but it doesnt need it currently. I was going to get the white carrot flippers to be era appropriate and rebuild them then. The previous owner had them rebuilt and changed to wpc era williams flippers, and they are strong so I havent done the rebuild yet.

Playfield is pretty nice. Minimal insert wear for the most part. One wear spot at the left inlane ball drop. The mylar seems to have a crease or two in it. Im not sure if thats normal. It doesnt affect gameplay at all. I will post pictures of everything soon.

New grey legs from PBL.

Backglass is almost perfect. I dont think there is anything more than a few small spots if any.

Displays are crisp and clean.

One of the nicer Pool Sharks I have ever seen. The only real bad is the cabinet. Its a little scratched up, and the front left has some odd art repair. Usual leg wear, Ive got protectors on it now.

I will post pics soon. Hopefully by end of week. Like I said, the game plays great. Its fun, but the theme isnt really up our alley. Not looking to quick sell or anything. Most likely wont move it until after 6/8 since I have a party that weekend.

Looking for $1500 obo. You dont see these too often, and I saw a much shittier one sell for $1200 recently. The pics will hopefully do it justice.

I would also be into trading plus cash for another system 11, or similar era solid states from other companies. Maybe other games, let me know what you have.

Here are the pics of my pool sharks.

Plays great. About to install remote battery pack, and print custom cards I made for the apron. Batteries are already off the board fyi. I just havent installed the battery pack yet.

The burkas on the ladies are easily removed. Im just kinda embarrassed by the ladies. I have a bunch of people coming over for my kids bday saturday. I feel like the backglass is like having a g string bikini lady posted in your garage. Tasteless. Lol. To each their own though! Im sure the cheese appeals to some.

I also made custom cards for the apron that I havent printed yet.

$1500 obo. Not looking to move it until after this weekend at the earliest. Not looking to dump it either. Open to trades. Trade plus cash on either end, whatever.

That is a good looking original survivor. The left inlane touchup should be REALLY simple. I wish all of them were black and white! :D If I had the room, this one would be sold. I really enjoy pool and card themed pinball machines. Good luck with your sale!

I think Im open to a nice slugfest as well in trade. Id even add a little cash if yours is really nice. I think the kids would dig it, and it would be a fun competition game.
