RADICAL by Bally classic 80/90s theme
« on: September 29, 2014, 09:50:31 PM »
Remember when everything was fluoro, you skated everywhere and we all sounded like dumb Surfies? ( well some of us still do )  ^^^ Yep the 80s. CLASSIC.
I was very lucky to score this AWESOME project pin to play with over the coming months/weeks/years.
Since you can't get NOS play fields or plastics for this old girl any more I would ask if any one has a nice RADICAL to email me direct with a HIGH RES picture of the lower play field only, it is fingered and down to wood and will be touched up and clear coated by me,  *%* just like I did Dr Dude.
 
So my first step is to get her working 100% and give her a good clean, remove and fix up ramps ( probably flame polish), re rubber and fit some new LED,s which I have had forever as I knew I was getting this one some time ago, thanks to you know who.
I would like to fix the outer cabinet which is in excellent condition also as I want this one inside ASAP. The play field will take ages so I want everyone over here to enjoy taking her for a spin first.

Any hoo, here are a few pics to start with. Powered here up yesterday and plays actually quite well considering.

yep I remember those days, cruising the streets on the skateboard looking for hills and cool driveways - over here we were known as beach bums.

cool game, would love one one day - nice ramps

for a hi res image, register at vp forum as then you can download playfield scans and hopefully they have a radical.

Nice score.  A theme close to my own old skool heart.  Hurts a lot more now when I hit the concrete!!  #@#

I had one of these a mate imported from the USA a few years ago.

This one was in absolute mint condition and a cracker of a game to play.  A very under rated title...

This game lives up to it's name. An absolute CRACKER of a player. I look forward to the restoration thread - this will be worth the work.

A great pick up!! I love this game - so fast, lots of shots, even the left ramp which is a bit close works well, wish I could find one to play locally, only played this a few years ago for a couple of games and was hooked. Look forward to seeing the restoration.

Played it this arvo - even in the unrestored state it's a fun game.
Some of the call outs are seriously NAF, but that's about my only complaint.
Another outre game in the locker for the Big Lebowski . . . .

 $#$ sometimes ya just got to smile after having a win. Thanks to Gibo, I had done a trade with him some months back and finally picked up my booty today. A Radical play field which I will tickle up like I did with Dr Dude, light box panel and bits a box full of left over crap. This was a very, very bad donor Radical that was earmarked for disposal. SCORE.
Will start my restore thread again soon.
