    That is a nice machine. the playfield is in excellent shape for its age. it looks like it has been previously restored to some extent.

    From the description it sounds as if the solenoids are not working correctly. Anyone know how difficult they would be to fix or replace?

    (for the record, I am officially bidding on this one )

    yeah thats actually an easier fix than you think you can rewind the coils if need be, also theres another forum I belong to that deal specifically with pre-war pins that you could get a lot of info from. Good luck with the bidding I hope you get it. BTW Queen creek is near me.

    I was out bid!

    It sold for $700!!! (well above my toy budget limit) I'm sure the seller is quite pleased with the outcome of his/her auction.
