Question
I have a 1965 Gottlieb Thorobred pinball machine.  It still works.  Wondering what it may be worth.

Answer
Charles,

My pinball machine price guide lists the value at $175-500 depending upon condition.  The top price would be a working machine in very good condition including paint, backglass, etc...Most machines with normal wear in working condition would fall into the middle of the range.

Expertise

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
