Joker Poker No. 2
« on: October 19, 2016, 10:04:43 AM »

This is the second Joker Poker I have done. This game had spent the last seven years or so sitting at a mate's place, well loved by him and his family.

When I first got the game, I had a brand new original Gottlieb power supply and driver board, so for this game I bought the Pascal stand alone CPU. That combo has performed flawlessly - in all those years at my mate's place I have never needed to do a single thing except the occasional clean and rubber, and as the playfield was mylared, the was just a simple Mr Sheen job.

The playfield in this game is actually pretty good, and the backglass not too bad (although pretty faded in the reds as usual). But with CPR doing both items I could not resist.

I have just finished the playfield swap, so thought I'd share that for now.


The old playfield
















Naked.....




As reasonable as the old playfield was, there is nothing like a new one!










Next will be the apron and shooter guide which are pretty sad -




Will paint those white today and apply one of these decals I just ordered from Pinball Rescue http://www.pinballrescue.net/Decal_Instructions.html as they look pretty neat.

No chance this one goes, I only sold the other one as it was a member particularly keen on that game, and I had this one waiting.

Awesome game. That new CPR playfield looks very very nice. Did that have a re clear (HRP) ?

No mate, clear seemed pretty nice as it was.

Joker Poker is a game that rarely leaves collections. Such a great looking and playing machine. Best SYS1 by a fair margin.
