Hi could someone please tell me what the price range is for a shopped out, good condition, Twilight Zone pinball machine.

Thanks
Steve

$3500 - $4000 depending on condition of things like the Cabinet, mods, stuff like that.  

I agree with Adam. Anything selling for less than $3500 probably has issues.

Thanks, there is one for sale from a vending company, for $3800.
I haven't been to look at it but they said its in mint condition and been totally shopped out.
I'm going to try and leave work early today and go and have a look.

Regards

Make sure there are no errors and the Clock and Gumball machine are working fine. Also check the slot machine scoop assembly, most are broken because the welded tabs break on the scoop assembly. If they shopped it out properly, they should have taken care of these common failure items.

Aren't all TZ pins from vending companies mint and shopped?

I think any seller with an once of credibility would not make a statement like that about a routed machine. Unless it's gone through a place like High End Pins or gone over by at true collector that does not put a price on his time, it is doubtful that you will find it to be mint. Although it may be worth the $3800, with the odd exception of a few highly credible collectors, the term "mint" usually is a gross overstatement.

Go look at it first before commiting.

That and one persons definition of shopped and clean varies wildly across the spectrum.

Yeah I know what you mean, my idea of mint and theirs is probably worlds apart.
Its out of my price range really but you don't see them very oftem local and shipping is expensive.

I've never actually owned a pinball machine and the only ones I really remember playing were Twilight Zone, Addams Family and Super Mario. Now I have the space and a little bit of money saved I thought I'd get one.  But I don't really know a lot about them, was always more of a video game person.

TZ is one hell of a first step into the hobby. Nothing like diving in head first, eh?

Well I got space for one machine so it might as well be a good one, I could sell some of my video games but we will just have to see. I'd probably prefer an Addams Family but there doesn't seem to be many of them around either.

Op definition of mint means he cleaned the playfield with a damp cloth.  Might have cleaned the rubbers (but not replaced them).
