For sale: Dragon - Restored

Added: 2017-06-14 00:14:23 UTC • Ended: June 22nd, 2017
Condition: Fully restored (full original status)

Price

$ 650

Beautiful restored (just finished) Gottlieb Dragon. Solid State electronics 1978.

Playfield was touched up and clear-coated, cab was repainted (with a satin clear-coat), backglass in good condition (with some touchups), BRAND NEW power supply and MPU board (Ni-Wumpf). The modern MPU board has many additional functions such as an added skill shot, ball save and diagnostics.

Looks great and lots of fun!

The game plays fast. Flippers are strong. Playfield looks great but it isn't perfect -faint lines are visible in lighter colored areas where the original finish was cracked but it's not visible from player perspective. The plastics are in good shape but a couple were glued back together. They look very good though.

The switches are all in great shape and are very responsive. Everything works!

Pick up only. Located in west Michigan near Holland.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Yeah, I couldn't help myself I wanted to see what this game would look like with some restoration. It was in very poor shape but It turned out great and is more fun to play than I thought. With the cleared PF and strong flippers it's pretty fast. It has a cool feature wherein you can collect your bonus and the build it back up, lite the spinner and nail it until you drain. Overall it has a nice feel. The end of ball bonus tally is addicting!

Fortunately I enjoy the process more than turning a profit

Quoted from dothedoo:
Tuning is critical on this game or it's a complete dog. My friend fixed one up to sell at Expo a couple years ago and I was actually surprised with the way it played. The Ni-Wumph features are a nice addition.

Yup. BTW the flippers in the pics are not setup properly. They are now.

The game is still available.

I will consider trades for project solid state machines +-$. If it's a good trade I might deliver to you.

Shoot me a text 1-616-550-7738 (my phone reception sucks)

Thanks guys,

Matt

The game is still available.

I lowered the price. It may not be available for a day or two as I'm waiting for an update to the new Ni Wumpf MPU (gets updated via USB). I just realized that the tilt switch isn't working and it's not the wiring. Everything else works and it plays great. If I had hair I'd be pulling it out right about now! ;>

Seriously though, the game is sweet.
