Firepower II
Williams, 1983
Grand Lizard
Williams, 1986I guess this approach makes a little sense if he's parting out machines that are beyond repair, but... If I were an owner of either machine and needed a backglass, I'd be buying this from him, and then Tossing the backbox and his work.

Quoted from KenH:Looks like you get a set of Pinscore displays with it too.
Good point. This isn't making much sense economically to me.

Seriously. I want to purchase just for the display.....

that's weird.... He has a lot of different random stuff for sale. I almost wonder if he acquired these somehow and is just reselling them and has no idea what they are worth. Backglass + box + working pinscore display for 50$??? I am kinda tempted to bid on that firepower one, that's a great cheap decoration.
It looks like the seller took down the original listing and relisted with the correct pictures. Judging by the rest of the junk they have in their eBay store I am willing to be he has no idea what he actually has. I am curious about the handles on top of the boxes. 
Quoted from Direwolf:curious about the handles on top of the boxes.
Salesman boxes for demonstrating Pinscore displays???
I also love that someone went ti the trouble to put pinscore displays in it, yet the rest of the lighting is just christmas lights!
I got the Grand Lizard auction. The back glass on mine is flaking really bad, and I've been wanting to go to LED displays since I've got a couple that are on the way out on mine. Just hope the back glass arrives in one piece, and the Pinscore displays are actually the ones for use with System 11s.

This thing showed up today. Was relieved to see that it was well over packed! The dog was a little intimidated...

Quoted from Spybryon:Where is the CPU board that's putting out the "Factory Setting" message?
Opened up the case and found a Police Force (marked Williams 573) board in the back. A little strange to see a System 11B board hooked up to a Pinscore for System 11...

Here's the old and new backglasses together, new on the right. The only bummer about the new backglass is a scratch across the center mandrill, but I can live with that a lot more than I can with my old flaking backglass.

Feel pretty lucky scoring a backglass and Pinscores for $170 shipped. I almost dropped $200 on a set of Pinscores last spring, glad I didn't. 
Quoted from GListOverflow:Not to mention a free System 11 board. What do those normally go for, $200-$300?
