what do you think is a fair price northern california) for a whirlwind
that operationally looks pretty good, but the cabinet is scarred and
has been (poorly) repainted?
second question ... how much and where do you find cabinet art for
whirlwind? i've googled on the group with no luck in finding cost or
source as i want to factor this into my cost.
at the end of the day, i can always bury the bad artwork between two
other pins so you do not see it, but it would keep me up nights knowing
that my whirlwind looks like the phantom of the opera - good on one
side, bad on the other.
here are seller provided pictures and description. appreciate any good
/ bad comments and advice on how much you would offer for this pin.
thanx in advance!

"he Whirlwind has a factory Mylar (Diamond Plate) so the playfield has
no visible wear. The pin was shopped about 18 months ago. It's in 100%
working order. No error messages, display is 100%, fan works, new
spinner decals, new rubbers, new balls, cliffy hole and ramp
protectors. The only rap is the cabinet. It was touched up with
non-factory colors, but it still looks fine. Also, it has the original
copyright infringement translight. (The kid's wearing a Chicago Cubs
hat) Subsequent translights have the kid wearing the Williams logo
hat."
