This was only released in kit form & 150 units ever made( by Grand Products)
Kit was supposed to be for early bally ss machines using all of the existing boards & came with an extra board for extra lighting.
Anyone know about the donor cabinet for this conversion kit; ie Can you use either 6 or 7 digit score or does it have to be only 1 of them? Which one?
Does anyone have a pic of the cabinet , painted up, using the stencil kit that came with the kit?
Do these playfields use Bally parts?
Any other info?
Thanks. Dave

The only one I've ever seen had been a Kiss before the conversion, the kit used the bally MPU with modification but a non-bally sound board. The cab was painted black and had small(approx 1 foot square) stickers on each side that were obviously from the kit as they were themed w/ the playfield and BG. I don't remember about the # of score digits but it's probably six digit as that's what Kiss used.

It converted any 6 digit game from Stern or Bally to a 7 digit game. Do you have a full kit and software ? I have Gamatron's from Pinstar and they are a variety of mech's. Mostly classic stern with some gameplan, and gottlieb materials.

Well I realized there are 2 versions. 1 by Pinstar and 1 by Grand Products. They are the same from what I can tell. My knowledge is of Gamatron pinstar kits.

Its the complete kit, everything is there,
Brand new playfield
new backglass
new sound board
new lamp extender board
2 x game roms
game manual
game instructions.
Not sure about the stencil kit as I still have not seen it & will not see it for a few weeks. Just making enquiries now so I know what I am up for.
So possible to use stern ss? Hope so because I have a project Galaxy with planked playfield

Hi, did you ever end up buying this pin? It would be really cool to see a game play video of this since information on the web (other than from IPDB) seems fairly scarce.

I have a project 301 sitting in storage, mainly has a couple broken plastics, but who knows if I ever get to restoring it.

I got the kit but as yet it still is not installed into the cabinet ( Mata Hari with fingered playfield & backglass) that I got also. Do you have any pics of cabinet artwork

Just an FYI, the game had unique roms/sound board. Although I believe you could use the existing chimes in a game that had them. It's 6 digit and as far as I know, side-art was never offered for one of these "kits". The converted one I had was a playboy painted black.

I picked up a Bullseye 301 locally today. It has acid damage to the MPU, but looks nice otherwise. Guy I bought it from says it was playing perfectly until about a year ago, when it just stopped booting properly. He tried to have it repaired, and didn't fare well with a local repair man, so he sold it to me.

Once I get it fixed up, I'll get some gameplay video on youtube. It sounds like it may have really interesting scoring, so I'm looking forward to getting this one fixed up!

Software? As in the game ROM images? I think those are available on IPDB, if I'm not mistaken.
