Williams TIME WARP project machine
« on: September 05, 2009, 07:46:59 PM »
Ok, I have started what I will call a PARTIAL restore of a Williams Time Warp Pinball.

What do I mean by partial restore?  Well this machine will be sold on eBay in a few weeks.  It will be sold as complete and working, however, will still need some TLC.  So I am doing the electrical and electronic repairs, general clean etc.

Here is what I have done so far:
*Cabinet cleaned inside and out
*Brand New Power Lead fitted
*Playfield quick clean (can be fully stripped, by purchaser if they choose)
*Blown Globes replaced
*Rubbers Replaced

I still need to do:
*Clean backbox inside and out
*Fit Transformer in backbox
*Fit New Capacitor and two bridge rectifers in back box
*Install power supply board in backbox (have a fully working board)
*Install Sound Board in Back Box (have a fully working board)
*Repair and then Install CPU in back box
*Repair and then install Driver board in back box
*Re-install playfield (has been cleaned and re-rubbered)
*Install missing diagnostic buttons to coin door
*Install missing playfield target reset arms
*Install Displays
*Install Backglass





Hope to have this listed for sale on Ebay in about 2 -4 weeks

Cheers
Dean

Dean,

Looks like a nice solid project?

Why not offer it for sale here rather than eBay?

So what more will the purchaser need to do? Nothing if they dont want to, plug in and play!!

But if it were a keeper, for me I would:

*The playfield has some corrosion on metal components both on top of the playfield and under.  If I had time and were keeping the machine I would purchase some metal components for top of playfield.  Such as ball gates and screws that hold posts down etc.  All readily available.
*Under playfield could do with some compnents being removed and having NINOs ranex treatment.  All work but rust is on some items.
*Coin door internals need ranex and sanding/buffing.
*One playfield plastic (top right hand ball arch) is missing.  I have a scan (thanx FIREPOWER - David) and will print, laminate and cut to size as a temp.  These plastics do come up on eBay etc.  So the buyer just needs to keep a keen eye out.
*Backglass is very average 5/10.  Im sure there must be one hanging in someones games room that they want to sell??  Anyway, buyer would want to keep an eye out for one if it comes along.
*The apron is rusty, needs sanding back, spray paining and decal installed.

Thats it...

Will post some more pictures this arvo...although I only have an 1-2 hours to work on it today.

Dean

Hi Tony,

In short, I could do with the $$$$.

Thought eBay might bring more cash.  Its a open market so should go for what people are willing to pay.

Happy to sell to member if anyone is interested.  But looking for offers around $700-800.

If not sold, I will put on eBay, statring at $500.00 (parts alone, working boards etc gotta be worth that??)

Interested parties PM me your email address and I will send pics.  Once you have seen pics you can make me an offer.  First in with an offer that I am willing to accept gets it.  But dont give me a price till you have seen photos.

Dean

Apparently they left the factory some with banana flippers, some with "normal" flippers - about half of each version. Apparently they found on test that **girls** preferred the banana flippers! No idea why?? If you don't believe me I'll try and find the quote from Barry Ossler.
