Quoted from Pecos:I have a Williams Suspense backbox. It has no door or backglass and a few parts have been pilfered but it is mostly there and structurally sound. If you need it, I have it!
Quoted from pintoys:Looking for Neptune and Flipper cowboy heads.
Nice fellas. Neptune and Suspense are a few very cool and not easy to find games.
I will be needing a Skylab backbox if anybody has one.
Quoted from Pecos:I need one for my Bally 1970 Double-Up. I'll get some measurements and PM you. Thanks!
Cool. Let me know. It looks like it’s 25 1/4” x 23”. I think it’s from my old Hi Lo Ace.

Piece one together! The one on my game I’m replacing isn’t in horrible shape, and solid. The colors are nicer on the one I picked up after some Isopropyl and MC, so refurbishing it a bit. Had some slight separation on the sides at the bottom, so glued and clamping until tomorrow, already sanded and did a few touch ups. Then a few coats of white and clear before transferring everything.

I have to reglue some panels on my Mars Trek and my late 80’s Bally
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:For the Mars Trek the metal threads in the cabinet where they head bolts screw into are blown out so I figured glueing and clamping could reenforce them
I use these...pics below. Are you sure the bolt receivers in the pedestal aren’t stripped or shot?

If you can’t get a good clamp or put pressure on the receivers, fill in the gaps with a mixture of sawdust and glue and then let it set.
Was able to get the paint and clearcoat on earlier today. Glue held well. A couple touchups in the blue and it will be much better.
A few pics of before from above, and after. And I found an alternative purpose for Christmas wrapping paper. 
I’m switching the internals over this weekend, so if anybody needs the other backbox it’s here.

The only mistake the Spanish made were those shit particle board cabinets. The Last Lap I sold had a fantastic cabinet but the head was trash. Not sure if they started using real wood for cabinets when they went to solid state.
Yeah, hear you there. I’ve had a couple Playmatics over the years. Some had really nice cabinets, and some were totally trashed.
Most of their cabs did fall apart a little over time, but I was hoping maybe someone had one in really nice shape just sitting around. You never know. If I don’t come across one soon, I’ll have to build one or find another that might be compatible.
