As most of you might have read, we are having an addition built. This new addition will include a gameroom. I asked the wife if she wanted a pinball machine in there. Did she want an older model - a newer model...? She suggested that we get the Pinball Wizard machine. Since my name is Tom - I had to agree it was a good choice. I searched eBay and found a few. I do have a pinball guy who lives 4-5 houses away, but I would like one that does not need any work or VERY little. Do any of you know what would be a fair price for a nice shape working machine?

I know this isn't a pinball site, but nobody has an opinion or estimate? From the auctions I found, it is a 1975 machine. What do other pinball machines from the same era go for? The whole Tommy / Who thing might increase it's value some I guess. But a ballpark figure.... There is one in CA right now, which I could go get - but there is a reserve. It has all the paperwork, manual etc.

Tom,
I'm not really up to date on my Pins; but I would say between $300 - $500 This could increase, as you said, being the theme is Tommy/The Who...

You are probably looking for Wizard! by Bally (1975). Wizard (without the "!") is by Gottlieb (1971). Tommy that Jim is talking about is a newer one and is by Data East (1994). The 2002 Mr. Pinball Price Guide lists the following prices: Tommy $1,600 Wizard $400 Wizard! $975
Hope that helps.

Tom - about 6 months ago I was watching how the old tables were selling on ebay from local sellers. Everyone that was in good condition went for at least $1,000.

I told the wife what I had found and her tune changed pretty fast. Now it is " let's wait a little bit". She loves pinball, so I don't think she has strayed too far. I had a Mobile-Mini dropped off today, so I got plenty of room now. This guy near me has a whole garage full of pinball machines. I've talked to him, but he is not the friendliest person in the world - he is nice enough though He has a route and services them also. I might just check in with him again when the time comes.

QUOTE What is a Mobile-Mini? It is a lockable portable airtight container. I got a 20'x8'x8' dropped off in my backyard. Cost is $92.11 per 28 days $90 drop off fee $90 pick up fee $140 relocation fee (won't apply to me) A lot cheaper than a storage room for 4-5 months (hopefully not longer) '> I'll try to take a picture of it tomorrow.
