Have a manual and schematic on order but have managed to get it running in the meantime. Fun game!

I think there are probably only a couple others that own this tank on pinside. Maybe more will creep out of the shadows.

It's a chaotic game--the max game time setting is about 5 minutes so you are really scrambling to score. After I get mine cleaned up a bit more maybe I'll get a video.

Anywhere from dirt cheap to $1000 or so from what I can tell. I think they only made about 800 of them and from what Steve at PBR told me they didn't stay on route long because they did terrible..so I'm guessing lots of them were scrapped. If you are lucky enough to find one local you might be able to grab it fairly cheap. They are heavy as hell to move--like modern pinball heavy. I found 1 (1!) listed nationally for $600. Mine came out of a warehouse in Montana that had 2 of them.

Mine was short a few, which means a ball will never kick out, those fit perfectly.

Weird. Not sure how that would work. There is a vertical trough from the return lanes beneath playfield. When game is on, a lever constantly pushes up/down at bottom of trough to force out a ball if trough is "full" of balls. It would have to be completely different if only 1 ball were in game.

Take a pic of the bottom of the ball "launch" area.

Did they have broken spring clips beneath the control knobs?

It's my 6 y/o current favorite...though it could be because he beats me most of the time. He goes full defense and then I score on myself half the time.

I have not, probably should. Mine was sealed in by what appeared to be an old Soda Pop spill...took forever to get out.

Has anyone taken a look at the score light sockets? Mine are really flaky and I was going to replace but they are really odd looking underneath...looks like a job to get them out to swap too. The wood built around them appears to be glued together.

Mine came with large aluminum sliders stuck to the levelers--works great on carpet so I haven't done anything with them.

Looks like some of the guys might have been repaired and/or painted. I don't know of anywhere to find replacements for them.

Talked to pinballresource a while back and they didn’t have parts. I think they are hard to come by.
