Hello, I am new to this club and happy to be here.

My situation is the playfield is pretty good but the backbox needs some work. I found a guy locally that said he could help rebuild it. The top front piece is missing and the right side is loose. Also the bottom piece that has the hinge is separated

Is there any way that someone could post a bunch of pictures of what the backbox should look like? Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

Thank for the pictures & the offer on the trim. I may take them if the guy helping me with the woodwork thinks I need them. Do you think there is any cabinet art out there as in stencils or decals if I were to need them?

PM sent

A reproduction EBD backglass was on the porch when I came home for lunch. I just had time to take it out of the box to do a quick look. Looks great so far.

Have any of you tried to do the Pinball Pimp stencil kit? If so how does it turn out? Any tips or tricks? Thanks

Hey, thanks! I appreciate the support. Sometimes trying to figure everything out can be a little overwhelming but people like Lovef2k have been a HUGE HUGE help!

Does anyone have a list of LED's you ordered? I thought I'd find the colors in the manual but no luck. Thanks

I was thinking... I may just order cool whites & go for the original look.

If I use non ghosting... I wouldn't need any modifications correct?

From Comet?

Just curious what a person does if the backbox light board isn't in the greatest shape. Do you go ahead and use it if it works or would you replace the board somehow? Thanks

WOW !! That's a great story!! Great job! You inspired me! Thank you very much.

Will someone please explain all the differences between the EBD's.

I ordered a new Arch and shooting gauge and just wanted to make sure mine is the correct cabinet. The Arch and shooting gauge that's ordered is for a 1981 version.

roar ....Thanks very much ! I really appreciate it.

Would someone (or does anyone know of somebody) who would be interested in redoing a EBD 81 cabinet for me. I can sand it down & have it ready. PM please. Thanks.

I am in Moorhead MN. I could bring to Mnpls area.

Just received the new arch (apron) and shooter gauge from Merf's Pins. These are very well made. I am very happy with everything. Great customer service. Answered all my emails promptly.

I hope they do many other titles.

Mine says EED583x. I can’t make out what the last digit is on the backbox or cabinet.

That looks super nice! Great job

What is a fair price to pay for a working nice original EBD?

Appreciate that.. my wife has relatives near Topeka. Interesting town. We were there about 4 years ago for a family reunion & was woken up by a earthquake. Do they happen there often?

We also picked up a Firepower & a F-14 from wife's uncle near Creighton Mo.

"F14 is one I had and sold.. kinda miss it, but can't keep em all"

Isn't that the truth... I am going to sell Fireball ll so there's room for Who Dunnit which is at my friend Don (Grumpy here)

I do have a EBD but the cabinet needs a full restore. Playfield is nice, boards all bullet proofed & new backglass but if the 1 I am looking at isn't to pricey I may consider selling the 1 I have.

I can put 8 machines in a row in the basement but that's pretty tight.

I can explain everything!!!

Have many of you put in a EBD hardtop from outside edge products? What are your thoughts & was it a huge project?

Looks like he's going to need hospice care. JK.... looks like a fun project. Can't wait to see it.
