FS Gottlieb Hi-Diver EM

[Bdawg]

got this on a pick up and seeing if anyone has a home for it, im more of an arcade or newer pin guy.

the playfield is really nice, its all really nice actually for being this old.

Looks cool, could be fun.

What is the price you are looking at selling it for?

[Bdawg]

No clue what to ask honestly would trade for arcades, or other something.

ill listen to offers

[Hilton]

I don't have any acrades. I will offer $50.

No idea on what they are worth but that is about all it would be worth to me.

Hi-Diver is a classic woodrail with art by Roy Parker. The backglass on yours has normal flaking and I believe they did make a repro at one time but not sure if they're still available or not. Playfield looks nice. If you could add some pics of the cabinet front and sides that would help attract buyers as condition is everything.

Woodrail machines like this used to be almost impossible to find. 20 years of collecting and I've come across probably less than 10 (titles around this same time) because collectors had most of them and they were going for big bucks. Unfortunately, many of those collectors are not around anymore and demand for these and many EM's has fallen quite a bit (my opinion, of course - simple supply/demand).

If you're willing to spend the time, there are most likely still buyers out there interested in woodrails - but they may be hard to find. Also, doing a full restoration on the game isn't easy and can be quite expensive. So, ultimately, the game is worth what someone's willing to pay (as Hilton pointed out).

Cool game, and good luck with your sale/trade!

No arcade games either, but would be willing to go as high as $100.00

[Bdawg]

ok here are the pics, obviously its not perfect but its a nice woodrail

[Bdawg]

ok after further invetigation, ive found that if i hold the score advance switch i can make it start and play.
So it does work just needs adjustments.

[Klauerpower]

Great to hear that it starts up & plays. But, it still will be a project to get it running to where it all functions. I understand if your looking for more, but I'm still at my offer at $100.00

Holy Crap, that is the nicest playfield I have ever seen on this game. Usually the holes are worn and the pops are worn, and I have seen lots with flipper drag as well. It is almost like it was in a time capsule.

Good Luck with your sale/trade. It is going to be a tougher sell, as Todd mentioned, the guys that collect EMs are dwindling in numbers, but when you do find that buyer, they are going to be very pleased with the playfield on this one.

[Bdawg]

This is sold pending payment n pick-up.
Got a fair offer. As for the comment above it having the amazing playfield thanks and that's why its worth a bit.

[ralphwiggum]

Congrats on the sale. Nice machines are always an easy sell compared to average examples. Simple fact of the matter is that you probably wont find too many from this era with that condition playfield. I wouldn't be surprised if the buyer was upgrading his current example with this one.

[Klauerpower]

Great Job getting it sold!
