Before you spend a single dime on any mechanical parts you are going to want to make sure the MPU is booting. There are 3 chips on that board that are NLA and made of unobtanium. If either of those 3 are bad you have a giant paperweight. Seriously DO NOT spend anything on this project until you make sure the game boots. The only way to obtain a working board for this game otherwise is to buy another working ALI cocktail and pull the board from it.

When we service these games with broken flipper pieces, every other game gets a pair of classic gottlieb flipper mechs and bats. Make sure you are using 25 volt coils, stern and bally flipper coils are made for 43 volts and will be too weak in this game. (there is incorrect information on the net about using bally coils). Then the next customer gets the leftover used parts from the previous game (original parts are symmetrical. I think I have a broken set and an unbroken set that I was saving to give to someone who can make 3D printed files to share.

The original ALI bats are longer than any other brand. The segmented bally ones like from Bugs Bunny are probably closest in length to the original.

Quoted from rufessor:

Fun thread. I had one of these and passed it along after a restore. Do your legs have the stand up inserts for adjusting height of table? Curious- I never could find those and did not have them in my example.
Unfortunately- although cosmetically its a cool game, the rule set is tragically limited and game play was in line with that issue. Hope you get a chance to play yours!

Every one I have seen has the stand up legs, They are quite well hidden and from the pictures appear to be present on this game. Look for the 2 nuts at the corners of the inside of the cabinets. Remove those and pull the carriage bolts out from the outside corner and the legs should slide down then reattach the bolts when you see the hole open back up.
