Nice F-14 Tomcat Pinball Machine HUO (Well, just my home and everyone
else's before me) for sale!!!

14,502 units made, but this one is an early production unit with the
clear lenses on the flashers and clear dome, making it super ultra
rare.

Machine has been completely stripped of Mylar, inserts leveled, cleaned
and waxed and some of the inserts with worn lettering have been repaired
with overlays. Along with the Cointaker premium LEDs this playfield
R-O-C-K-S!

Features include all new Pinscore displays and new Rottendog power
supply board. Cabinet is a solid 8+. New chrome legs. A few minor
hacks have been corrected as well.
All original plastics are there, the right sling has a corner taken out
of it from the slam of the almighty Yagov kicker feature.

I've put about 100 hours in this game, so at my modest labor rate that's
$4k worth of labor. Plus all the new parts and what I paid for the
machine I am asking $7K (I have to have a little negotiating room, I am
not trying to make money - just to be compensated for my time)

Of course I am willing to accept higher offers as well. This is my
wife's favorite game and I might need to pay for a funeral if someone
actually buys it.

I have an F14 machine FS HUO $9,500 OBO. At this point I don't physically have the game but if you need pictures let me know.

This one is an early production unit with the
clear lenses on the flashers and clear dome, making it uber ultra
rare.

and waxed and some of the inserts with worn lettering have been repaired

R-O-C-K-S!

All original plastics are there, the right sling has a corner taken out
of it from the slam of the almighty Yagov kicker feature.

I've put about 130 hours in this game, so at my modest labor rate that's
$5.5k worth of labor. Plus all the new parts and what I paid for the
machine I am asking $9K (I have to have a little negotiating room, I am
not trying to make money - just to be compensated for my time)

Not looking to sell right away because my son's favorite game but I will get what I am asking....

A man after my own heart. When I go to the office, I'm not trying to
make money either, just want to be compensated for my time.

In related news, I have a prototype Jokerz that I spent way too much
time restoring. At the "modest labor rate" of $40/hour, I'll let 'er go
for $3k.
