Reply to Egret 2 Partsby dragonleeIlluminate marquee repo $600 original $800
Repo side art $150
Repo control panel populated $200 plus
Original Egret2 fetches $3k plus these days.
Is it worth fixing or sell it as is ?
You can still fetch a minimum of $1500 plus as is if you decide to sell it.

by furballxDon't lube! Pinball parts run dry, adding lube will just give all of that shitty black "pinfunk" somewhere to accumulate.
Certainly do not add WD40 to your game, it will all end in tears.

by butters4lifeHey all,
After being out of the game for a while, I am working on restoring my Taito Egret 2.It still works nicely but has a bunch of cosmetic damage, scratches, dings, peeled art etc and is missing its marquee.

by pinball godI over capitalized on mine because it was a keeper. But the market brought it up to break even and at a nib price. So out it went.

Reply to COVID-19 / what’s your plan?by AutosteveTo much fake news concerning CoVid. Probably the most known case would be the 20 something year old male in the US that had a head on with a truck on his motorbike and was killed but because he had CoVid, it went down as a CoVid death.

by furballxDon't lube! Pinball parts run dry, adding lube will just give all of that shitty black "pinfunk" somewhere to accumulate.
