3. What is my (insert pinball game here) worth?
- A. You can read this section of the WIki: What is a Pinball Machine Worth?. However, be aware it's biased towards modern DMD machines.
They have some advantages:
- Deep 'Rulesets'. These rules can include the ability to stack modes and multiballs together for extra scoring, and ultimate goals such as Wizard Modes.
- Newer, so more parts are available for repairs (although the situation is improving with reproduction parts for the earlier games).
- The playing surface can be Diamond Coated or some other form of protective surface.
Disadvantages of the DMD games are:
- They can be harder to repair, with more complicated electronics and toys.
- More expensive to buy and maintain.
- Less nostalgic for many older owners who want games they played when much younger.
At the end of the day, a game is worth whatever it's worth to you! No one can gauge that for you. This may not be a good answer to the question in terms of a hard cash value, but it's nonetheless true.
