Well after a few months of searching I found my new project which is a ft that sat dormant for 8-10 years. It was pretty dirty but a quick wipedown at sellers revealed a nice playfield . Game had few errors and the usual stuff you wld expect but after getting her home and messing with it all night shes working 100 percent and looks like its going to turn out to be a pretty nice ft.also guy never had glass off or batteries changed but there was no corrision and boards are very clean .I attached some pics after a little clean up but no way near done and this baby will shine very nice once again. 20150309_021716.jpg20150309_021850.jpg20150309_021939.jpg20150309_022015.jpg20150309_022217.jpg20150309_022254.jpg20150309_022428.jpg20150309_022824.jpg20150309_022853.jpg20150309_142814.jpg

I dont know something is odd with them haven't really dug in yet just cleaned up a bit and got everything working but they have they correct bats lol.what do u see?

Ill probably end up keeping it the way it looks I kinda like it lol

It does bad pic lol

Something seems weird on flippers tho bc I have a bsd also and these seem to go up higher they probably have wrong coil stop ? Unless ft is supposed to be like that ?

No it was hard to see in my pics sorry

Well whatever retail place sold this pin to the guy didn't have the correct coil stops or eos swithes in I thought the flippers were traveling to high lol other than that its pretty dang nice pin

Cool thax, luckily I have all the correct parts on hand to fix it correctly

It has them just bad pic lol

Not sure ive seen 3 or 4 of them for sale all over in the last few days

Yea tearing it down now it had alot of wrong parts in the flipper mechs but other than that everything is pretty nice compared to most fishtales I have looked at and played . This is my favorite part bringing a pin back from living a slow dieing life

More than I would have liked to pay considering I wasn't sure of all the issues but luckily I fixed most everything without having to buy much and just need put in all the time now which I have right now so no big deal . I think once its done it sld be worth around 2250-2500? If thats the case I sld break even and have a nice ft so that sld give you a idea of what I paid .

I guess not because thats not what this person was asking nor what I paid I contacted numerous adds that were in a reasonable distance on cl

Thax cant wait to see how it plays with clean surface and new rubbers because it played like crap lol but I still liked it it will be a good fit in my collection now just need dr who to have the lighting flipper brothers lol. Is the ft topper ridiculously loud especially with cover off?

Yea I love widebody pins also but popeye is not one I want to own I cld have purchased it several times but I didn't. Id probably take one for 1250 but that be the only way

Dr who is pretty cool im so mad bc I had 2 times I could have purchased it for under 2k and well now u cant lol

Well on its way 20150311_015359.jpg20150311_015330.jpg

Nope there really isnt any wear at alll just little insert edge wear and the green inserts are little faded but for a ft its one of the better ive seen fof sure

Mini play field tear down had to fix a few inserts that were lose this is probably worse part of the whole pin which isnt bad at alll20150311_205325.jpg

All back together and went ahead and mylared over inserts since the edges were starting to wear should be good for a long time now 20150312_001611.jpg

O yea and repaced all bulbs with color matched leds and also the flashers should look sweet

Yea im pretty happy with it one the better play fields ive seen wonder y they are usually rough tho

Shes really get stripped now didnt pkan to do all this but mise well because im waiting in parts 20150313_012317.jpg

Few quick pics finally got her back together tonight and flipping . What alot of work this one was and still have some adjusting and cleaning to do but at least I can play it now in between. I must say what a great pin awesome light show and fun /hard play and the sounds and animation are great I think I found my new replacement pin for another ive had for a while. 20150320_080318.jpg20150320_080056.jpg
