Sold World Cup Soccor Pinball (WCS) £3000

[marky7seven]

Hi All, need to make room, so a couple more have to go.

First is World Cup Soccor, we've had this game for 18months now, and paid way over the odds for it from Home Leisure Direct. £6750 live and learn.

Haven't done anything to it, apart from repair one of the spinners that broke, and replace the bulds with LEDs, it does need some TLC on the cabinate, and possible a new football as it looks a little yellow now. I would imagine it might be close to 30 years old now. Selling for £4,000

You will be asked for close up pictures of the playfield with glass off.

Sorry, not sure what you mean.

Anyone interested in more picture, message me and I will sort that. Pointless doing any unless people are interested. Cheers Mark

Credit Dot....

It's a little dot that appears on the display after the credits or free play text. The dot indicates that the machine has detected an error. It was designed to quickly let ops know there is a problem with the game that needs to be addressed.

Well I've learnt something new, ran the report and got this:
I will try and work out how to fix this evening.

Should be an easy one to sort out.

The hook at the end of the spinner under the playfield probably has come off the microswitch

Another thing that may help the sale is replace the lockdown bar with either a new one or a used one without the rivets on it. That is not helping the sale even though its not effecting how it plays. (Just a friendly piece of advice. Not trying to tell you what to do etc...)

I have a WCS in my line up and football fans won’t play anything else.
Good luck

Played this so much at Pinfest and unexpectedly loved it. Never gave it a second thought and only jumped on it coz a lot of what I wanted to play was taken/busy.
I’d be lying if I said I don’t want one now.
But a little too rich for me atm. GLWS

Best football themed pin I'd say? It's a pretty great pin. Nice and simple to understand but with some pretty fun shots.

The one at pinfest played great too.
Well except that my Mrs beat me every single time (and it wasn't even particularly close) so must not have been set up right

I'd definitely be getting a new lockdown bar though. Why has it got rivets or tack welds in it?

This is the same, as my wife always beats me on this.

Wow, that something you don’t want to visualise.

Well you'll have to get rid of one of them then!

 

[Dinsdale]

I just want to add that this is a bloody great game. I did not have too high expectations with it but it's quite a gem. I love the penalty kick feature.

Good luck with the sale!

WCS is a narrowbody so should do.

I don't expect you need an absolutely mint bar but your current bar is a bit weird and not doing it any favours.

Good luck with the sale!

I have a good used lockdown bar for £55 posted if you want a cheaper option. Dm me for pics.

Can't believe Home Leisure Direct sold this for 6750, they really are highwaymen

 

[marky7seven]

Some internal images.

just listened to a podcast (loserkid pinball) they interviewed the designer Larry DeMar, he named World Cup Soccer as one of his fav pins and the one he recommends people to get.

Well, hopefully I have given everyone enough imagery to make an offer. It does need a refurbishment, but it also works as it is. I've fixed the switch issue, it just popped out.

I don't have the ablity to refurbish this, it looks way too complex for me. It's pointless and time consuming to pay someone to do it, just to then sell it.

Loved playing WCS at Pinfest... went to opening game World Cup 94 at Soldier Field in Chicago... so a pin I'd love to own one day. No space here but would very tempted if I did have a slot free. GLWS

They're not daft. The first time I thought about getting a pinball machine, the first thing I did was Google it. Their sponsored ads showed up right away. I thought they just be the going price but knew I had to join a forum to check the ins and outs.

That's what I learned the true value.

Some people may dive in and think that's the going rate and that's where they get you.

 

[marky7seven]

One night only, £3000 no offers, collection ASAP. I have an offer on eBay for £3k but would rather sell on here.

 

[Spandangler]

That’s bang on the money I reckon. Kudos for taking the bath on it.

 

[marky7seven]

He going to give it the tlc it needs, so makes it easier, and keeps it on the site.
