Fortune I
« on: April 28, 2023, 07:52:52 am »
Hey all. I just picked up 2 Fortune 1 cabinets for $50 for both.
I'm not sure if they work or not at the moment but i figured they would be a fun project.
The cabinets themselves are in rough condition. I was looking around but couldn't figure out how much these go for in working condition.
Cabinet condition notwithstanding, what do you think they go for? $300-$500 or more?
Thanks for the replies.

Confused here...
You wrote "I just picked up 2 Fortune 1 cabinets..."
So are you asking the value of empty F1 cabinets...nothing inside?
Or are they complete units?
Value depends on your state/area, in many cases. I'm in California and bought a F1 for $20. I cleaned the potentiometers on the CRT and it's been working great ever since.
It appears you're in Nevada. There's an IGT Game King listed in Las Vegas for $550 now.
But you might get $100 - $200 for a clean working F1, since there's a few collectors out there, provided they see the ad. 
I highly doubt you'd get anything near $300 though.

I agree with Shortrackskater. Fortune 1’s are fun and economical machines but not highly valued. Exception being F1 TV Dice.

There are a good number of things you can do on your own but if you cannot get the board to boot, KLar has a test station and can get them working.

Yes, here in good ol' Las Vegas, NV.
One of the games fires up but no video on the CRT. The other has no power. It was only $50 for both cabinets (rough condition).
So, worse case scenario is that i'm out $50. But the fun part will be tinkering with them to see if i can bring back life to either of them.
Thanks for the help.
