I have a friend that owns this (and had a horribly worn sticker). You CAN buy a replacement:

I believe it's 3 screws in the center. Get a blade underneath, and slowly peel it away. Clean it up real good with goo gone, then apply new sticker

The toppers appear all the time on Ebay. Pinball parts Australia has Alvin G flipper bushings and the plunger/link as well. Hope this helps~SpOoKy

Nope, you won't find those flipper parts anywhere, unfortunately. Pinball Spare Parts Australia advertises having the plunger and link, but it's not the right part. I have never caught wind of these rebuild parts surfacing anywhere.

Brian then if not Alvin G. Parts what are they? Didn't this guy buy the stock of Alvin G. from Gene cunningham? Ya know. Mike Gottlueb is still around, someone needs to step up and produce parts. If Anyone is reading this, im 100% sure mike would sign off on ANY repo parts!~ SpOoKy

Bret,

What Brian was referring to was a mislabeled plunger/link that Mark had on his site for a while. I had him correct this, so it now has a part number (LAP-002), and it doesn't refer to them as flipper plungers anymore. LAP-002's are slingshot/kicker arm plungers, not flipper plungers.

And yes, Mark bought all of Gene's Alvin G stuff (along with the Capcom & Willams stuff), but I'd say that 80% of the Alvin G stuff still hasn't been sorted/listed on his site yet. Mark told me not too long ago that he hired another guy to start going through things and get them listed. When he finally does, there will be flipper pawls and probably flipper plungers too. I saw/bought a lot of this stuff at the big IPB sale just before everything headed to Australia. The parts supply will get better soon!

Nice! Plus one Matt! Thanks for the explanation!

I've got a spare topper here that I'd probably sell. Let me dig it out and get back to you. I'm fairly certain that it's got a couple small cracks and minor scratches, but nothing too bad...and certainly better than not having one at all.

Regarding that rear mirrored piece...yes, it's plastic mirror material. You can buy the stuff online and cut your own. It's an extremely obscure part that's otherwise unavailable unless someone just happened to part out a machine.

mattelder, I'd buy that topper if he does not want it.

A permanent solution to the CD player "wearing" problem, read below.

The decal inking used was poor quality, and actually "flakes", unfortunate like the cabinets, if you are not careful.
Currently, these have not been reproduced and sold out around 2 years ago.
A few show up on Ebay once in a while.
I may decide to take a few of my NOS ones, scan, and have them professionally made with rubberized adhesive matting.
The game is now 24 years old, which should be considered here.

Old Restoration Tip:

One of the common "wear" parts is the spinning CD player rubberized decal similar to Whirlwind. The decal color easily rubs off and "flakes" leaving residue on the playfield. The decals have currently not been reproduced, and can be difficult to find. The games left today, sometime do not even have a decal on the spinner!

DO NOT USE mylar, as this defeats the grip of the decal, and if you ever remove the mylar, the paint is gone.

If you want to keep your decal looking "factory fresh", use paint on "LiquidGrip" which is a rubberized clear coat sealer. This is NOT a roof sealant or hand chalk!
It is designed for things such as handrails, and comes in as small quantities as 8 ounces.

Brush this product on the decal, and the color and detail will be highly resistant to removal, and provide extra "tackiness" to the decal at the same time giving the ball extra spin and zip. It is completely transparent when dry. Two coats with a 2-3 hour drying time between applications.

If you decal has already been worn off, but you can still see the outlines, you can bring the decal back to life using enamel paint pens (not acrylic paint) and careful free hand work. Then complete the above process.

I have disc cover 10.00 shipped nos

Mike,

I probably could buy a few more, call me "Mr. Paranoid" on this game. Probably why I bought an extra NOS wired playfield + boardset when I purchased my game years ago as overstock. I will shoot you a PM.
