Just a head's up for a Monster Bash being auctioned by Pinball Outlet in TO. I know they have a mixed reputation ( high retail prices) but I've dealt with them before and if anybody wants a routed MB (as I'm sure it is) they will respond to email pic requests and cash offers if you talk to the wife Irena (owner) for pics and the husband for offers.  

Here's the auction for any interested.

Good luck.

Thanks contacted them. If you want to buy it outright $5500 Cdn + tax, and it isn't by any means perfect.

funny that it's a private auction eh ? ... *cough cough*  ...but we now know the "reserve" is 5500$...

..and the fact that we can't really make out the mosh pit hole really should tell you something

What? That it once played host to a family of beavers?

Glen and I both have seen this game before the ghetto outhole repair was done the game was a basket case. Hey have any of you guys heard of a pin leaking oil because this mb was leaking oil on the floor (no joke)

I would hope they bolted back up the items that were hanging off their wires under the pf.

to think of the trouble i'm going through right now, forgive me for being glad this one is a junker!

If you want a rainbow you have to put up with a little rain.

With all this auction discussion I believe some may have misconstrued that this was an attempt to hold of the price of this auction down for personal gain. This was not the case. In fact this machine was rejected at much lower than it's current numbers by me prior to it being held by the seller. The information given was so no member would end up with a nasty surprise.

I was the first to see this game I saw it the day it came off of route, it was in terrible condition. Glen was next to see it and he'll agree with me and it was less then the eBay price now

So you had a chance to get a MB for less than $4,000 CDN? Seems a good price to me. I'm looking at the pics and while I see there is a great deal of outhole wear, it otherwise doesn't look that bad (the outhole could be repaired). The cabinet looks nice. I imagine there are some playfield touch ups hidden somewhere (probably Drac track), but don't MBs usually go in the $5K plus range? If this is the case, I don't see why you are saying it has gone too high. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Duane

Duane,

YOU had to see the outhole and the drac trac wear, I could fit my fist almost into the wear. The game was leaking oil on the floor someone oiled the mess out of the drac assembly and it went through the bottom of the cab onto the floor. Theres a reason why the shots are far away and not at very good angles.
