Another recent addition which took a bit of time to get going. All the displays were faulty, 20 amp fuse for GI's kept blowing, machine would reset every game and/or multiple power ups, passive bumpers no go, targets difficult to drop, flippers weak and misaligned, flipper eos broken, faulty globe holders etc etc.
the lucky thing is the title came with another playfield, most of the parts and mechs for that pf, a new set of plastics, new targets, new passive p/bumper caps and more. So I could repair a lot of the broken bits via replacement of new and old parts or rob bits from the two broken mechs to make one good etc. At least this would get me up and running to take stock of what needs to be purchased in the restore.
So I got this beast up and running for about $5 and 30 hours of stuffing around and testing. I need to buy 1 x display as the final faulty one has been hacked to the bejeebies and I cannot seem to get this last segment going. It's just not worth saving I think.
I have played probably 250+ non test games and really enjoy it. Again it really needs 7 digits even after setting that game as fast as I can and game settings to the hardest, clocking the score can be down say every 40 games or so.
I love the sound, I think mainly because of nostalgia and the look is amazing. I got the game 70% because of the backglass and 30% for the pf art and now another 50% for the game play. So that makes it 150% of value to me which is great. Don't ask me what I meant by the last comment but just simply is a good SS title IMO.
I have included some photos but will probably post more as the PF is touched up and swapped and the new stuff added. thanks for listening
