Cool game! I'm not personally interested, but I'm wondering if the
price is $1100 (as it says at the top of the post) or $1500 (as it says
at the bottom of the post).

If Don Draper had a pinball machine in his office, this would be the one he'd have!
For sale is a 1960 Williams "Jungle" EM pinball machine for $1500 USD plus shipping. The machine is located in Edmonton Canada.

long, it flunked hard on the 'done it right' scale. Does take way too
much skill to set it up and break it down.
This title made the 'flunk and wagner' videos that helped charity. Over
all not a very interesting game to play. Fun to look at, but a dud on
play experience.
1500 for this title, sad asking price in its sad asking condition. Its
a pretty trashed project, worth about what someone will pay, and that
should be in the 150-200 range.
