Hey pinballers-to-be… looking for an inexpensive new project to get started with? In this thread I’ll post some of the better finds which look promising in terms of low price and fun factor, as well as things to watch out for.
$200 for Surf Champ - http://littlerock.craigslist.org/tag/4872774159.html
- Artwork is missing from the cabinet (stained brown) but it is possible the original artwork is still underneath and may be recoverable
- Backglass looks good and is not excessively peeling/flaking. Need to see the backside and how it looks when illuminated to ensure poor touchups were not done.
- Note: Left slingshot plastic appears to be broken. Will need to fabricate a new one or buy a new set of plastics altogether ($65).
- Overall, I think this would be worth the drive to inspect & pick it up.
