Re: Detroit Super Auctions pin results SA



I contest your ideas of "good" and "excellent" condition,
and "working", on these games.

For example, the Maverick was MISSING the
DMD (yea the large expensive one), the sound
board, and the CPU 6802 processor chip and
EPROMs. *and* the CPU board was about the
worst battery corrosion i have *ever* seen on a
DE game.

The sapranos played like a wet fish.
The flippers that is, i might as well had been
slapping the ball around with a wet noodle.

The STNG i would call *barely* working.
Same case with the Terminator2. They weren't
playable, at least to me. I could not finish
a game on them.

The Stern Catacomb had a *spray painted*
backglass. Someone took poop-brown spray
paint, and did the whole bottom of the backglass.
It did play decent though (left flipper a bit weak),
and the playfield was in good condition. newish
white rubber.

BS Dracula was consistently loosing balls.
That game was barely limping along.
I couldn't finish a game on it.

Super Auctions Detroit. April 12, 2008

All hammer prices listed. You add just a 13% buyers premium and then
6% sales tax onto that total. AMOA members get a disCOuNt on the fees.

Sopranos -Safe worked, Excellent condition, only scratches on the
cabinet & flipper button wear $2300 hammer price.

Roller Coaster Tycoon Excellent-$2300

Austin Powers  Excellent Baby!  $1650

Barb Wire very good  $925

Playboy (Data East)  working & very good condition (Kimberly still
looks good on the translate) $725

Terminator 2 working  $1075

STNG  working  $1425

Maverick the Movie (Data East) lit up but no workee  $650

Dr Dude. Very good condition (right flipper not as powerful as it
could be) $700

Laser Ball no CPU, No driver board, no sound board, no master display.
It did have the voltage regulator board & 4 slave displays. BG
excellent and playfield looked good.  $85

Charlie's Angels (SS) lit up, no power up, could not open to see what
was left. Good condition  $125

Sharpshooter. Looked good, lit up, all displays had one zero (0)
except a "4" was on the credit display and all of them flashed. So it
was deemed "complete" PF excellent but two drop targets were not
correct. $275

Hot Hand No power up, no lights displays visible $50

Catacomb (Stern) worked & looked very good/excellent  $630

Gorgar  worked, talked,  BG 6/10, PF 7/10  $575

Bally Eight Ball (Fonz) BG a 10, PF was sanded down by a bad ball or
something, it rated a 2/10. Game worked but a chime kept dinging and a
couple of displays needed some 100k resistors replaced as digits were
out. $450

Lucky Seven No power up, no lights, Sealed shut and a con artist
seller (no doubt a route operator) disguised a missing master display
board with black foam. What a slimeball. $110

BS Dracula  Worked well and looked great $770 This was bid up by Mr.
Shill big time. I believe he bought it back.

Spring Break  Dirty but worked & played great. Shilled to $800 (bought
back)

There was a lot of shilling going on by one particular operator who
brought several items. Not just pins. He bought back several items as
well as got more for some items than he would have had he not shill
bid.

There was a much smaller amount of videos than in the past. Only two
counter top trivia machines, 4 pool table (all w/o slates) one air
hockey, Only one junkpile with traffic lights & a power washer. A
bunch of Cherry Masters (only 2 worked) one Sigma video poker-with a
*slow to start* monitor that never came on for the 3+ hours it was
powered up! One Rock-Ola console 45 jukebox that worked & was loaded
up (I think it went for about $150) Finally only 5 or so pieces of
true garbage as far as busted up, hollow shells of cabinets.
