vendbend Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 looking at amusement machines and arcades on ebay and often see this line "works but needs shopped" can anybody tell me what this means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brmorr Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 In the pinball world, it means to clean the playfield, change burnt out bulbs, rebuild flippers, etc.. etc.. IN the arcade/amusement world, it probably means the game just needs to be cleaned up to look 100%. Game works, but sometimes what people refer to as shopping could be replacing burnt out lights, cleaning or replacing control panels, etc. etc.. Put some links in this post and I could definitely be able to tell you what they mean!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendbend Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 thank you for the response I kind of thought that is what it means machine works but needs some TLC although I have found even the ones that say all cleaned and refurbished and ready to vend always need to be cleaned and get some TLC I have not bought a used machine yet that didn't need a good cleaning and/or some tweeking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
