Gday all .
Here are a few warts and all pics of a Playboy I picked up on the weekend.
Looks like the rear of the cab has been replaced at some point and the bottom rear is falling away a bit so will have to address that .
There are 2 wear spots on the playfield , one near the left bumper (not sure what I can do with that as yet) and a small one in the Grotto .
Cab has been painted white (badly) so the plan is to strip and repaint it next Spring/Summer.
Game came with a Stencil kit but its old and peeling off the backing paper and not tacky so will probably have to remake new stencils using the originals as a template.
Has a new CPU board and boots up/plays, most connectors have been replaced at some point .
I stored the head away before thinking to take any pics of the boards
The playfield is filthy so step 1 will be to strip and clean it . Why do people put black rubber on games of this vintage
Will give it a clean up and overhaul , then put it in the line up to play until its time for the cab repaint .
Will have to flatten the plastics under the top arch , all the rest are great and none broken
.
I am giving myself a budget of $400 to tidy up and overhaul this game . It will then owe me $2500 which I guess is pretty good for this title .
Job list is :-
Strip and clean playfield and flatten the 2 big plastic pieces
Replace coil sleeves and probably coil stops
Flipper rebuild kit and new flipper bats (the originals on it are broken)
New Pop bumper skirts, bodies, bases , rod/rings
New playfield rubber
Probably New top lane guides (shame you can only buy generic ones though)
