Well hello ladies and mostly gentlemen. Joined the club today with a quick pick CL find. Paid a little more than I wanted but the guy was firm. I just wanted it. The cab was a solid 7.5-8, the backglass too. The field was filthy at a low five, but just dirty.

Brought it home, put the Polish to the elbow and greased it. Net result was a glossy near new finish. Touched up a few spots on the cab and decided I paid a fair price.

The only fault is that, and I didn't catch it during the pre-purchase inspection for some reason, is that coulmn 8 on the field is out. Hmmm.if anyone has a clue say so. But I'll get to the bottom of it one way or another.

The stickers were shot. Ordered new. The right flipper is solid but a tad weak. I'll get that bug squashed too. Heavy on the leds headed her way.

All in all, I'm happy with the purchase. She will fit in nicely with the other mid eighties.

Any suggestions are more than welcomed.

Quoted from dmieczko:

Congrats!! If you're going to fully shop it out, I suggest clear Titan rubber with orange flipper rubber & post sleeves. I just did mine with that combo, and it looks amazing.

Done and done. Thanks!

Quoted from Jason43:

My right flipper was also weak when i bought mine, even after a rebuild. Turns out it had a weaker coil installed. One meant for upper playfield flippers. Might be worth a look on yours.

Indeed sir...

I fixed the light coulmn issue with a mere wiggle of the connectors. Today is a good day.

Quick question for the tech minded.
Just upgraded to all Comet top end leds. What amazing difference. It's bright and crisp now. One issue however.

The flashers I put in are staying on all the time. They do brighten when they are activated but they should go off right?
