Hello All here at Aussie Pinball
« on: March 24, 2014, 07:29:58 PM »
Hi all   <..>

New to this forum, I thought its time to join as I have 2 pinball machines now.

I have a Data East - STAR WARS & Last Action Hero.

Ive had heaps of fun with them, but its now time to have a look inside and give them a good clean  !@#

I think the star wars is going to be a headache as its missing part of the ramp and the playfield is in bad shape in places.

Anyway ill start a thread about that in the right place before I go on any further.

Cheers all and what a great forum you have here  $#$

Last Action Hero is a cracker of a game.  Great fun.

Data East pinnies can be rock solid, the worn fuse holders are your worst enemy, but an easy fix.

Keep your eyes on ebay here (Aus), ebay US (ebay.com) & ebay Germany (ebay.de)...

Just remember on the German eBay search for flipper as well as pinball.  Star Wars being a popular game they don't often get parted out, but worth searching.

DE's are an under rated platform. rock solid when setup correctly.

Enjoy the forum.

Completely agree, a few have sad to keep away from them, but the DE Star Wars is the best out of the all the star wars pins in my eyes.
Also Last Action Hero is such a under rated game.

Years ago, people used to say that all the time because they were "hard to fox" - more like "we don't know how to fix". Star Wars is getting a lot of love lately.

Cheers for the info on German ebay, I had a search, but not much over there.
Also I know what you mean about the fuses, here are mine:



I have some work to do  &^&

LOL.. i have come across a few DE pins with fuse holders "fixed" that way..  previous owner was too lazy to replace them i guess, they're not that difficult to do after all!
BTW  %)% to AP.. plenty of help and advice available here if you need it  ^^^
