Playfield looks to be in excellent condition.
I assume you will be rebuilding the power supply and adding ground wires to all the boards?
I doubt I will use the original board assembly. I dont have great luck with them.This game would be a cantidate for a Pascal upgrade in my opinion.
Yeh, get a Pascal board for sure. You won't regret it.
Then you could sell the old original Gottlieb board.
Pascal Board all the way!
It will also give you a way to enter your name with the high score.
And some other cool options for the playfield, including a nice attract mode and flashing lights when hit.

I have been limping along on the original boards, slowly fixing what i see, had to replace a connector pin and clean up some previous work. Two simultaneous digits in player 1 and 3 is out. Displays are verified, sounds like a board problem... of course.
One on the power supply. Solved the re-setting issue. I did check connectors on the displays also...
Quoted from blazerchad:Did a little sound board work, was missing a channel and mylar'ed the backglass...
I have a BK2K backglass that someone mylared. The bad thing about mylar is that it is pulling the paint off the glass. Probably heat from the backbox bulbs.
