Well done, I can't believe the state of the old PF, some operators just don't care for their pins

At first I thought it was just part of the design, then I realised it was wear! Worse than the EBD that was for sale on eBay.

That's the fun of chasing these pins. You have the opportunity to buy and install repro playfields. The pin must be a "keeper" to justify the efforts.

So probably under $1000.

Now I know where to get EBD repro plastics at least.

Congrats on the pickup. Looking forward to the playfield swap thread!

Good pickup, Beaky. No ROMs. Hopefully the MPU board is ok as the Sys7 boards are a pain to fix.

They would be the right ROMs, Paul. Just wait until you get the machine to double check - You may need speech ROMs as well - and the seller will do them as well.

Silly question, perhaps, but what's wrong with downloading the ROMs from say IPDB and burning them yourself (or asking someone else to burn them for you)?
