My friends dad has an old playboy pinball machine that sits in the basement and basically, the only use it gets is when Im over there. It is a little beat up, alot of the bulbs are burned out and the LCD score is missing a number. The playfield also has a slight smash/dent on it that very slightly alters the balls path in one part but its not a big deal at high speeds.
I think its supposed to play music as well or talk but it doesnt. I was just wondering, how much would a late 70's early 80's pinball machine that needs some repairs go for? And what would be a fair offer, how the hell would I move the thing,,,and are there still shops that repair or tune up these things? I could probably do it myself but I dont want to worry about it all if 100-200 dollars can get it into good condition again. If the total is around 500 or maybe even 1000 I could consider it. Might need to rent a moving truck too.

One of my old co-workers has that machine. Along with 15 other pinball machines. I thought the playboy one went for a pretty decent price since it is such a collectable. I would guess close to $1,000. I know they pay between 2,000 and 3,000 for a lot of the better pinball games. Playboy is not nearly as fun to play as some of the 80's games such as Indiana Jones and Funhouse.
 
Well the legs fold down or come off depending on the model. The playfield piece is usually placed on a furniture dolly.
