Well, just joined the club. I was able to pick one up that is partially restored. Very nice game with a redone cabinet and repro playfield. Needs some sorting however.

1. One flasher is out. I've tracked down two others (pesky System 11 resistors) already.
2. It has a Pinscore system but extra segments are lit. Resetting ribbon cable didn't fix it but moving cable alters display. New cable ordered.
3. Inside of cabinet is dirty and stained. Needs a good sand job and some cleaner.
4. Has a mish-mash of incandescent and LED lights. In need of a nice Coin Taker kit. Opinions on going warm white for backbox and white inserts instead of bright white? The translite just looks washed out with the bright white. I certainly want to avoid the TNT F14 rainbow puke show as well.
5. Later game missing the two flashers above TOM and CAT. Definitely need to put this mod on the schedule.
6. Coin door needs a rebuild and a finish job. Inside of coin door is pretty much mint. Skin needs some love.

Game play couldn't be better. It seems sorted very well and plays brutally fast with this new playfield.

We will see how long it stays around, but it's growing on my family pretty fast!

Quoted from RVApinballer:

Any leads on a left slingshot plastic? New, old, doesn't matter.
Thanks!

Repros just listed on eBay. Also a used one out there as well.

Been putting in some hours on F14. Here is a video of a game with a new Cointaker premium LED kit. I used the non-ghosting for the inserts and the frosted cool bulbs for the GI. Flashers are still incandescent. The game has a repro playfield and repro plastics. I will be working on a coin door rebuild next.

Does anyone have comments or pictures of the CPR mirrored F14 backglass? I am thinking of adding one and was looking for any owner input.
