Popeye Project

[daveyp]

After some opinions of a value for my Popeye owned 10 years all original boards but think there's a power issue. It has had the battery removed from the board and replaced with NVRAM if that's correct.

No 3D Pluto head but all comet LED's and I have a Colour DMD to be fitted included with the sale.

Needs a good clean probably a strip down and sorted out but it's beyond my ability.

Happy to answer any questions.


Dave.

I sold mine a year or maybe 2! as a project fully working needed a strip clean etc think It was for 1200

Rough water damaged project sold on EBay recently for 1500.

The ColourDMD for Popeye is one of the best , the dots are superb and really brought to life. They did a great job with it.

Suggest you sell it on here and if I was you remove the colordmd and keep it for another machine.

£1200 is about right - considering it has issues etc and without colordmd.

If you are not replacing it - see the colordmd on seperate listing for £300. They are £450 new and hold the value.

I believe the 3k+ one was a different Popeye

1200 seems low even for Popeye and even in the current market imo - but hey I’m biased https://www.pinballinfo.com/communi...opeye-the-good-the-bad-and-the-spinach.34036/

A lot of game for your dollar with Popeye . Cant imagine too big an issue to sort the power . Need more details.

Yes Grizz the 3k one was the one you commented on it was missing the cleats etc (and definitely agree with you £1200 to cheap ),well i got to i was the one who bought the £1500 water damaged one) .It was all working and at the time i thought it was a good price for a fully working dot game ,Yes prices are dropping and i have gone a bit mad with this one and the costs for doing it up keep rising and rising.

PS Grizz about time you got another you must be missing yours by now
