    Thumbs up Price Check - AvP Pachinko

    I notice that very few of the For Sale ads on this site seem to give prices? I am a casual collector and have not been keeping track of the trends. I'm thinking about selling my Alien vs Predator pachinko, but not sure how much it is worth? I'm not looking to make a killing. Just a fair member-to-member price that is good for both parties.

    The AvP is in beautiful shape and works great. It is installed in a nice wooden cabinet and took me a long time to get it to not spill out balls. I modified the standard cabinet with various barriers to funnel the balls properly back into the bin. Also, added heavy duty felt to make the balls a lot quieter as the drop though the wooden box. I replaced the volume potentiometers that it came with because they basically sucked and the sound was cutting out all the time. I used the new style ones from eBay. I also added a speaker on/off switch to the side of the cabinet so you don't have to hear that outrageous ear splitting alarm noise when the game is first turned on. The game is located in Central Florida and I would not be willing to ship if I do sell it. I might possibly take it to Free Play Florida in November.

    OK looks like we might be able to work something out. I like seeing games go to a good home when I sell them.

    If that sale doesn't work out...I LIVE in Central FL. I could pick it up as shipping can kill! (if the price is reasonable).

    That being said I would never "rob" a newer member of a long sought after machine. So let me know.

    I would like to see some photos if possible. (I know that can be a pain). Also if we exchange #'s a video etc.

    Anyway. Sounds like it may be sold...but I am interested in case it does not.

    Very insanely long time I've been waiting on these. Still need the AVP slot and then Alien, Aliens, and AVP pachinko and I will be fully collected (besides the Japanese Alien huge coin pusher lol). But yes, we are in the midst of working this out as I just am waiting on the dimensions and weight to get a fastenal shipping quote. He is being awesome and changed his mind on shipping it for me. Can't wait to get this in!

    Hence the fastenal hopefully. Lots of my arcades and pins have been shipped by them and it's worked out. Bigger names like pilot or STI are jokes.

    Fastenal. It's a 3rd party transit line, you package it up, drop it off at your local store, they put it on 1 of their trucks heading that way with their stuff, and you pick it up at their store that's local to you. And you pay next to nothing. I shipped a T2 pin from Ohio to here in Arizona for $125.

    Yeah it's from capcom and is called Alien the Medal arcade. It's s huge coin pusher with an anamatronic alien in the middle surrounding 8 booths the players sit at. I am in the middle of rearranging my arcade at the moment to fit my incoming LE Alien and terminator 2 pinball machines. So I will get some pictures later. I had some posted on KLOV a while back but not any updated ones.

    Wow crazy.

    I was just watching some youtube videos of that coin pusher in action...talk about overcomplicating a simple concept chance-game!

    If you can ever find that (in one piece) and have it shipped here...(working) my hat would go off to you!

    HANG ON!
    The Alien freakin' "spits" coins into the playing field when you win a jackpot (as shown in second video @9:13)!!!

    The whole thing just permeates it being a "mechanical nightmare" within every element of the game! This coming from a Dave&Busters "game wizard" (technician) at that!

    John,

    Are you parting with any more games? Your so freaking close! I’d be hard for me not to pick something up...

    So just finished getting all my games up and running (AVP and Aliens just need buttons hooked up and cpos). So here's a pic I said I'd post when all done. Got my 80s game side and 90s/newer side. All games were purchased not working and in very bad shape so all have been rebuilt from the ground up and has taken me 4 years to do so.
