Question
I have a old 8 Ball pinball machine made in 1966 by williams.  Last time I used it it worked.  It does need two rubber bumpers.Is it worth anything

Answer
Hi Eugene,

    The 2004 blue book values your game at 475.00 in good working condition. Not working it would be worth much less. Where do you live? I am in Seattle Washington. There are shipping company's that work with just items like this if you need to ship it to a buyer. There are also people who repair just pin balls. If your looking to sell and your at this end of the world, please drop me a line sometime.
Thank You

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
