Looks great and huge improvement over what looks like a playfield that was wrapped in packing tape? Some people just get to creative in repairing pinball machines.....

Well I emailed Kerry also so one more to the list on the glass rail barrier. Needs More hands up to make it. This title Needs this often lost part. Please reach out and show an interest.

For the List, you need to email Kerry at Mantispinball. Do Not assume I am correct but I thought the stainless rails at Pinball Life say 1988 Williams? The pictures for his rails are not correct but you can check. I think they are $89 Good Luck

Thats the one! This specific game had a custom dual direction stainless steel glass rail to accommodate both the upper and lower playfield glass. Most operators threw it away as it is a bit of a pain to take it off every time. I had seen many rubber door strip variations but I was Really hoping Kerry or other could recreate the real deal.

If I had a sample or good detail I could easily fabricate this. As I am a stones throw away from Kerry I would even assist him on the project with the fabrication part if that swayed him to make even a small run.

This is a bit of a long shot but I am in the final stages of restoring my Banzai and noticed how ick my factory cabinet decals were during the cabinet restore. Was hoping someone might have a scan or good picture of one of these? I have a laminating and decal machine so I could make it but the graphic on mine is to far gone. Hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks

Care to share the part number please?

I will So do that thank you!! Not sure if they have these but worth a shot. I know I have their shop out decal kit but I am more looking for the Large BR decal on the top.

I appreciate it. I had already sent him several PMs but he seems to no longer be around. I'll keep hunting but Any good image or help is Greatly appreciated.

Wow, Thank you!! Its such a small non important detail but with a full cabinet restoration I would hate to skimp on trying to make it original. Even if the scale is off anything would look better than the one I sanded off! Thank you!

Thanks for checking. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you! I will see if I can recreate that. Can't imagine a non OEM font will make my game play any better. Thanks again!

Thank you both very much! With these 2 examples I am going to do my best to recreate the image and font. Mine was so blown out I could barely read it. When I do create it I will upload for anyone else in future need for free. Need to keep these BR’s looking pretty! Thanks again.

Depends on what proceedure your looking for. After boot the ball lifter cycles to the upper switch then back down to the bottom and complete.

From every Playfield restorer I talked to they said Don’t do it unless you have a serious problem! This era game is known to loose most of the art and inserts. I personally used the Treasure Cove polishing kit on the Playfield and Mylar and it shines like new. Unless you have some terrible wear I would leave it alone.

Looks great but look how many miles are already on it! Congrats looks like you have a fun project ahead of you now.

Ouch! I think you'll need Novus 9 to clean that up. Take your time she will be playing again in no time. Congrats.

Was hoping the Banzai smarter then I club could help with some guidance. Finished my Banzai restoration (Long procrastination...) and have some insert lights out in a common row. Diagnosed to J7 on the interconnect board (pin 3 I believe?) and the signal goes To the interconnect board on that wire but does not leave? Solder looks good my Guess is its one of the Omron relays not switching over?? Any thoughts or things anyone could suggest would be Greatly appreciated. Game turned out amazing (only took me 9 years....) but this last minute glitch has me puzzled. Thanks.

Any thoughts? I’m still stuck on the relay being the issue but as I’m not certain what there purpose it’s still a guess.

Personally see no reason to take the glass out only the ball for sure. As for shipping with the legs on Heck no in my view. This game is Dam heavy and the only way to move it on and off trucks will be a fork truck which you can Gauruntee will result in damage. Plus Hand carrying this game off the truck with the legs on will be a fun chore.
