Portgamer Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 A friend of a friend of a friend has offered me his Williams Barracora pinny for sale. I will be viewing it over the weekend and he has priced it as "make an offer". He said it is in pretty good condition and was working fine a couple of months ago but now isn't. I really can only go off the general condition of the machine when I look at it but where do you think COULD be a good starting point for my offer. In other words what would an above average working one possibly be worth ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portgamer Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Lol. No worries Jaybee. He may be looking for a second opinion. I'll stay away from it. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocyen Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I got a message from this bloke too. Sounds like he likes to shop around; clever guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railways Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I reckon it'll come down to playfield condition / inserts and backglass. Not a game I would chase unless all the art was ok and it had another MPU in it. long live the piggy back board concept - phfft. I'm not a Williams SS specialist but given the visual things are OK - ish for this title, out on a limb, 1.75 if its intact.

Jaybee Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Williams Barracora Have you had a look at it yet @Jaybee? No he hasn't responded to my messages since I asked if I can have a look . Don't know what's going on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 This is the one. I got it for 500. It works but needs some attention. Has a new cpu. Art isn't perfect but is acceptable. Has a broken plastic that might be hard to find. I'll get some more pics of you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I had the glass out in the bck seat. Just put it back in for the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiredoug Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 th glass is only half the problem. remember you have 100kmh winds hitting the back of the headbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Mmm 100ks across Sydney on a Saturday. Now that's something I'd like to see. But thanks for the advice i didn't realize they are so fragile. Have carted a few like this and been lucky i guess. Thanks. - - - Updated - - - Here's a few more pics. As you can see it needs some TLC. It has an Kahout mpu and works but no sound and has a bit of mind of its own atm. One of the mpu LEDs is out so needs a train eye to look over her I'd say. Also top left plastic no good and I think will be hard to replace. I live for bringing these back to life these days but very time consuming. Sorry for crappy photos once again.

brado Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Maybe a dodgy effort from the seller, but, decent buying for the price I think. I wouldn't mind one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 The story behind me getting it was simply he contacted me as he did all other pinballs wanted and I said yeah iam interested how much do you want and he come back with 500 and brief discription and I said yeah I'll take it. Simple as that really. When I seen it I kinda erred cause it's going to need some work and you guys know I still have a lot to learn but I just thought what the hell and handed him the 5 large. Even if a break even or loss or whatever I don't really care I just love seeing these old relics from a time gone buy, our time, given new life. It's just the process of getting them running and back in action that I have become addicted to. The biggest problem I have is letting them go once they're done.
