Hi, first post.

I have Williams Vagabond - somewhat working that is sitting in my garage - definitely in need of restoration.  I understand that Vagabond was the first pin to use drop targets way back in '62.

Though I played pinball throughout my university days and have an interest in mechanical games I doubt I will have the time to restore this classic.

I am looking for thoughts on its value and if a collector may be interested in restoring it.

Thanks,

rolleye

MrPinball price guide 2009 says 850$ Us for a Vagabond in good working shape.

Its pretty rare too, only 600 mades.

I'm sure someone will be interrested to work on it and restore it to its full glory (depending on the playfield/cabinet/plastic/backglass shape).

Could you possibly take some pics and post them for our viewing pleasure please ?

I will take some some pics the next couple of days and post them.  

It is definitely in rough shape but I have powered it up in the past and its makes noise and lights up.

I just need a little time to take the pics and post.

I don't want to own it... I just want to fix it!


Retiring soon...
