The playfield has come out of a perfectly working Revenge from Mars. (no water damage or any damage of any kind).
I bought 2 x RFMs and used one to put a brand new Star Wars Ep 1 conversion kit into. I had to buy a real good second RFM because it was going to have to be good enough to be the new home for my SW Ep 1.  To my knowledge, RFM conversion kits were never made, only SW Ep1 conversion kits. The only way u get a RFM playfield is from a working RFM.

To swap the playfield into a Star Wars Episode 1 is a 5 minute job, and the new owner only has to purchase the RFM Roms which are cheap as chips, and swapping them over is also a 5 minute job. Been there and just done it. Very easy job. It was a working RFM one minute, and a fully working SW Ep 1 10 mins later. Beaky (Andy) did the rom updates etc, and it was easy using the pin2000 menu system  ^^^ Nothing else has to be purchased, just swapping the roms is all that is needed etc.

The playfield is very clean, all bulbs working, strong flippers, overall a tight clean package with no wear at all.

I would have thought $500 was too cheap given u have to buy a RFM to get a great playfield, but i do appreciate and value your comments.
See what other come up with ?  !@#  ^^^ ^^^ ^^^

Hi Brett,

A mint / VGC playfield will always attract a higher value....My valuation was just for a middle of the road playfield.

Gone are the days of a RFM attracting $4000+.  Most I see available here and O/S sell between $1800 to $2800 at the top end for a minty one.
