Question
Hello, I have a 1974 Gottleib Duotron Pinball Machine. Everything works on it. It's in good condition. The lock on the coin box is broken and of course the paint is a little beat up but other wise in good condition. I even have the original blue print that came with the machine.  Do you know what something like this goes for ? and where could I sell it best ?  Thank you for your time.

Answer
I would expect a Duotron to sell for around $250.  Shipping makes it cost prohibitive so you need to find a local buyer.  You could check with your local antique stores or malls to see if they have any buyers for a pinball machine or see if they could sell it for you.  Another good option is craigslist.org

Good Luck,
Chad

I'm an expert on coin operated machines. I can answer questions on slot machines, gumball & peanut machines, jukeboxes, arcade machines, pinball machines, gambling machines and any other device that operates with a coin. I have a couple hundred machines in my collection and have seen hundreds of others while traveling across the country and going to antique shows. I can give an appraisal on your item, but please send a picture if possible so I can give you accurate information. You can send pictures to me at buck@nvc.net
