Question
Have recently come into 3 P.B. Machines
1964 Gottlieb Shipmates,1972 Williams Superstar and 1975 Chicago Coin Blue Max.Any idea what they are worth???
Thanks Paul

Answer
My pinball price guide lists them at the following:

Shipmates $125 to 525
Superstar  $100 to 450
Blue Max   $100 to 650

The price range is given due to the wide range of condition that a machine will be found in.  The high price is the estimate for a nice working machine.  The low price is for beat up not working machines.  Most examples are somewhere in between.

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
