Nice! 4 player games are great when you have a lot of friends around. It's fun to compete and see who gets the best score.

Is the one your looking at in good shape?

The back glass is the one thing you need to look at closely. Too much crazing can be an issue over time.
And keep your game in an environment where the temp stays about the same all the time, not to much humidity either.
Doing this will prolong the life of your machine's graphics.

Wow, that's a good price anyway you look at it. I have heard that you can spray the back side of the back glass with clear spray sealer to stop crazing if you have any. I would ask someone in the field of pin balls before trying this.
You don't what to get the wrong thing, or even do it with out checking about it first.
I bought a machine, an EM, it had crazing, and it didn't look too bad in the front, but when I got it home and removed the glass... Found some yoyo took green paint and sprayed it on to the back in the worst areas. It didn't really detract form the game, but when you took the glass out it looked crummy.

The pin heads use Krylon triple thick for coating the back, and the old back glass are best kept out of the cold, it shrinks the paint and cracks the ink, and it then separates from the glass.
I have all my back glass inside, even if the rest of the machine sits in a shed.

Good info G, thanks.
I was sure it was cold would effect the ink's on the glass, was not too sure about the heat.

I purchased a replacement from a dealer from the mid west years ago.
And what a rip off, I paid way too much for a glass that was for all intent, trash.
I called the guy and he said they are all like that, "it happens to old glass". I went on to explain it happens if it is not stored properly! He told me I owned the glass now, no returns.

Oh well, better luck next time :roll:
