Doesn't look like minimal Stoke of Luck wear to me. Good luck!

[Pinballed]

it looks like there's a screw jammed in there too in front of the
right green target

[Pinsgonewild]

Can you really call it an auction when the starting price is higher
than the value of the machine? Come on man stating "no playfield wear"
with a SOL hole as worn as a 50 year old whore is deceptive to say the
least. And what’s up with the low resolution, dark, out of focus
photos? And then you add the double talk at the end of your
description "There is a minimal amount of wood wear around edge of the
stroke of luck hole as seen in the pictures" and this does not qualify
for playfield wear? This post does not do well for your reputation as
a seller.

I personally wouldn't pay more than $2600 shipped for it based on the
photos. Email me if you want it let it go for that much, which is
highly unlikely. :p

[Jonny_eh]

Not to mention the mysterious dark return to battle insert. Is it
dirt? Is it burned? Is it repairable? Pay $3500 for the privilege to
find out!

[evad]

bet he "ends the auction" and says its sold locally any minute now

[Michael O'Brien]

WOW! harsh crowd. I guess it's asking a lot to have zero commentary on
this, but it feels a bit like a pig-pile! And no, I'm not affiliated
with the seller...

It looks to me like someone tried to repaint. As is, it looks like crap.

If you post something here it means that it is open season on it so it
better be good.

93.7% feedback? No thanks.

[luther r]

Yeah, it's not THAT bad. It's a hell of a lot better than most eBay pin
prices. The cabinet looks pretty good, no fade. The PF could use a Mirco
replacement; then the machine would be worth 4k easy.

I didnt say behind the target, I said in FRONT of the target, if its
not a screw then whats that thing sticking out of the pf in front of
the right green target by the stroke of luck scoop?

[Don H.]

It's an optical illusion. What he's seeing is an extension of the
wear around the SOL hole.

looks like he used a router to cut away from the scoop and fcked that
up then used some elmers glue putty to cover the 1/2 inch split of
wood he fcked up..wtf jr..also whats up with a private auction?..

[Don H.]

It would have been worth buying a Cliffy to avoid all these negative
waves.... :-)

OMG...It's perfect for me, hidden hole in the playfield and I get shit
on twice when I complain about it on rgp...I'll take it! Throw in
some combo fur glue/martian saucer glue, reading glasses, and were
done.

[PT]

Let us know when someone actually bids on that machine. Until then
yours sold for absolute top dollar.

HEY! Quit whining on other people's posts. Just learn to leave well
enough alone, you just about busted that shovel digging your last
hole. You're just asking for more crap dude....

imo 3500 is pretty good for this machine. Clean it up, put a cliffy
protector on the sol and you'll have a very nice machine with original
cabinet art and a nice playfield.

as humorous is this thread is, unfortunately the auction isn't up
anymore for me to witness the mintyness.
