I picked up an original Pro model from the local operator. It's been on route its entire life and shows a little over 18,800 paid credits. Play field still looks great with almost no wear. She does need some work though. All the lightning bolt targets are busted and the ramp entrances are destroyed.

I ordered ramps, new lightning bolts and all the parts for rebuilding the flippers and pops. I plan on starting the tear down sometime next week. It looks pretty straight forward compared to Star Trek which was my first topside tear down. This will be the second.

I cleaned the underside of the inserts and it made a huge difference already. It already has LEDs, but I plan on swapping some of them out. They used colored LEDs in some spots for GI, which I absolutely hate.

The original DMD had a line through it, so I swapped that out with one I had laying around. I'm not sure if I want to do a speaker upgrade and or a colorDMD on this one yet.

It's just sitting in the middle of the room now ready to be stripped.

Is mine missing something?

From the pictures I'm finding, it looks complete. Unless it's some mod or something?

That's actually 18,000+ paid credits. That doesn't include replays, matches, service credits, the times they put it on freeplay, etc. I can't get a total play count, since that resets every code update. But the number of paid credits persists.

This is the only one I have on my phone right now. It's in great shape and sadly to say, better shape than my BM'66 Catwoman that's missing chunks of the play field. The ramps are completely trashed and all 3 lightning bolts are snapped off, but I couldn't find any wear on the play field.

She is dirty though. I already did the underside and cleaned the inserts along with a quick cleaning of the topside. I'm just waiting on the plastics set that was back ordered and supposed to be here next week. Then it's a top side tear down, mech rebuild, etc.

As requested. 18,488 paid credits with a 19% match and whatever else was earned through free games. Definitely more than 22,000+ games on this bad boy.

Do you mean the AC/DC stand ups? If so, there isn’t any wear at all. I haven’t found any wear other the shooter lane. I’ll know more when I tear it down though.

I wouldn’t make that assumption about the play fields they are pumping out today.

My BM’66 is falling apart.

I think the entire play field is one giant dimple. Dimples don't bother me as much as chunks of paint falling off the play field.

I'm trying to find out if I can buy them, but not having much luck. I emailed Cliffy to see if he makes them and might not have had time to put them on his website.

Anyone have a new plastic set they want to sell for an original pro?

I ordered on from PBL, but they just found out that it's back ordered with Stern.

I ordered ramps from Marco and they don't have the protectors. They came scuffed up, which I'm still pissed about, but that's a side note.

Cliff got back to me and said he doesn't make them for the Pro. Guess I'm going unprotected.

I’m assuming you had to drill out the new ramps? Mine didn’t come with holes for screws.

What screws did you use?

Thanks for the pictures. I'll have to look at my ramps a little closer when I get home. I know they don't have screw holes, but I think they have the little bump outs.

My back ordered plastics should be here tonight so I can start my tear down. I have to figure out what I'm going to do with the scuffed up new ramps I got from Marco though....

I'm not too thrilled with these. I'm afraid to send them back, because I'll probably get something worse.

Unfortunately not. Brand new.

I think someone sells train track stickers for them...

Marco.
