This is a fully restored Bally Fathom pinball machine.

New: playfield overlay decal and Lexan cover, plastics, transparent blue lane separators, new rollover stars, Titan rubber, all LED with a spotlight, clear blue flippers with bushings, bumper caps, gutter LED, drop targets and stationary target, balls, shooter with transparent blue knob and red (strongest) shooter spring with bushing, and new nuts on all plastics.

New Alltek MPU/Solenoid/lamp driver boards and new Rotten Dog power supply board. New capacitors and volume pots on sound board (Squawk & Talk PCB). New custom steel grounding PCB mount panel to get rid of the old foil cardboard with poor ground.

New hot rodded AUTOMOTIVE paint with fine metal flake and clear coat using Pinball Pimp stencils. Custom green and blue chosen over original. That was my decision, may not be for everyone. The back of the machine is not smooth or awesome due to the particle wood Bally chose. It's not perfect but amazing still.

NICE original Backglass with one 1/4" defect. Easily a 9/10 back glass. New lock. New Rotten Dog LED numeric displays (the pics caught the LEDs in a blinking state, so it looks like digits are missing. They work fully-I tried to catch them fully lit, but had no luck)

New coin door skin, Bally foil decal,lock matching backbox key with new Fathom key chain, and LED coin lights. New steel siderails (small dings on siderails from Marco's manufacturing process-sorry it's near perfect though), new original pricing coin bezels found in the cabinet with original owner manual/schematics included (nice treasure found in cabinet).

New apron cards with original apron (has some scuffs, but the repro was horrible-went with original). Green LED credit indicator.

Painted black inside with new grounding braid and new speaker. Every switch and LED is working.

Original legs painted with truck bed liner, new feet and bolts, and leg cabinet protectors. Cool clear green flipper buttons.

New playfield glass and new power cable.


Beautiful machine waiting for the ideal collector. Great example of a 3 multiball machine. Make your best offer!


Will ship at buyer's expense. Pickup is welcome. PayPal and cash accepted.

I guess I don't know how to read pinside worth a crap. I didn't know there was a thread.
This is an original machine that came from Arkansas. I have the card with the serial number and the head and body numbers matched before I primed the crap out of it.
The playfield was worn the F down. I sanded it with a disk sander and polyurethaned it. The playfield decal is the one off eBay. The lexan is the one off eBay. There's no major cupping in the lenses, and the lexan covers it.
There wasn't a CPR gold available at the time I was re-assembling it.
The 1/4" defect in the backglass is at the top between the Bally and F on fathom.
Of course it plays right.
I repinned a couple connectors in the backbox as needed, and soldered the crimp.
This machine wasn't fit to sell as original, or I would've done that.
I got it all put back together and all the boards work. I installed an NVRAM on the original -35. The MPU seems to have an occasional glitch where the playfield lights et confused. I'm all out of time to mess with it. All other original backbox boards work. Not sure about the bottom of the cabinet power supply. I will not include the original boards at this price.
I'll attach some pics. I photoshopped out my dirty garage in the ad. But didn't today since that caused distrust. I'm not a photographer, so these aren't the greatest. I'll post a video of gameplay later when I have someone to video it for me.
I'm asking $4500 on Facebook and $5000 on eBay. That's more than fair.

Here's the backglass and pre-primed serial numbers.

I would, but no one's been beating my door down and I need HVAC for my house quickly. If I end up paying for it without selling the Fathom, the desperation will vanish, and this will become a permanent fixture in Ebay at a much higher price.

I always call STI in Dallas, and they come pick them up whole here in Tecumseh, OK.
