Some notes and stuff:
I scored the second Austin Powers for $1800 besides the extremely
filthy playfield and a few switch errors the game was in outstanding
condition. To those that wondered if I could actually get the dirt off
the playfield.....let me tell you YES....and man it shines up like the
day it was new....almost think the dirt put a coating on the playfield
that protected the original lustre :-) Hard to believe but true.

Also the second Twilight Zone was a HELL OF A DEAL for someone. The
game looked about flawless cosmetically. I didn't get to play it, but
at $1350 someone got a heck of a bargain. Surprisingly the rougher TZ
went for more.

PinBot was a heck of a deal for someone as well. This machine had a
near perfect cabinet, playfield and I didn't see any broken plastics
including the skill shot corkscrew ramp wasn't chipped. Only flaw I
saw was the light strip on top was cracked....great buy at $525. 

I have recorded some conditions from machines that I personally looked
over for a few minutes, but might have missed somethings. Too many
pins, not enough time.
