New Prince in Virginia
My favorite machine, but this one is jacked up because the guy had busted parts and replaced them with parts from a junked out Daiichi. Not fully original, but a cool New prince anyway. Says he won't ship, but I get you could get him to drop it off at the local FedEx if you have an account.
Starting bid at $100 which sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Re: New Prince in Virginia
I said on a thread here that i replaced the broken parts with different parts. Now the jackpot mechanism is identical right down to the bolt hole pattern. The tray i removed was plastic, but a different color. Shape was identical as well.
I guess some believe that parts from a new prince should be used to fix a new prince. Like i said the parts changed were identical. And like any other hobby that i partake in modifications should always be made apparent. I did this in the description in my auction. So i feel i was above board and honest in my listing. If some do not agree with what i did, then don't bid. Its pretty simple in my opinion.
Sorry if upset you.

Re: New Prince in Virginia
I also agree that replacing parts is fine, and you were perfectly above-board with disclosing. My post was intended to be positive as I indicated it was still a cool machine and well worth the asking price. No offense meant.
