Gottlieb Rocky Restore

[Retropin]

Ok, ill admit...10 years "in the field" testing is pretty conclusive...

... but will it last 11???  HA!

[Strangeways]

Targets are all good. The machine is basically done. Just needs to be play tested to iron out any teething problems. I'll post final pictures soon !

[Strangeways]

Finally - The machine is ready for the new owner 

I replaced the damaged Target and installed mylar on all the targets. I added a ground wire to the Sound Board, as this is not covered in Clay's guides. It plays incredibly fast, and for some reason, I keep going back "just one more game"...

So here are some final pictures before it leaves my garage ;

Nice and brightly lit up - Just about everything on the playfield is new




Polished Legs and front profile of the cabinet ;





Entire machine from a bit of a distance...





Front of the game and the playfield !


 


I'm pleased with the machine, and I look forward to my next System 80 which will be one of - Haunted House, Spirit, Amazon Hunt or Force II

Looks beautiful Nino - just outstanding!

have you managed to locate a good BG for this?? I know Mark was trying to source one.

Ill be in Melbourne soon and would love to see a NOS BG!

Mark has had some leads - he can chime in once he reads the thread - he may have one. I think out of all the Backglasses that are NOT being reproduced, Rocky is the highest on the list. I know four machines that need backglasses.

I honestly don't know anyone who has a decent backglass.

You do now, my Rocky Backglass is flawless 10/10

Have scanner - will travel 

That's the first 10/10 Rocky backglass I've heard of - exception being NOS with HUGE shipping price on it.

These would be nice, but a ridiculous price

I thought it would include the playfield as well !

Me too Nino,

I contacted him as he was the same guy that sold the backglass on ebay recently. This was his response

"Well, sense I've seen that game bring 10K. $650.00 for NOS plastics is cheap"

If Steve Young did a run of the plastics they would be less than $200. I've never seen anyone pay $10,000 for a Rocky.

That's GreedBay for ya !

Gotta love the robotic sound of the old Votrax SC-01 voice chip on this machine...constantly announcing round numbers, Round 1,
