Wow. The machine looks very good.

I know how much work it is to do all of this and this is a great deal. I'd never sell my Flash Gordon for that price.

GLWTS

Nice!!!!!

Pump that price up boys!!! If I had a Flash Gordon, I'd jump in with you to let everyone know this is a great deal!! I know I know, you don't care about the value of your game because you are never going to sell.

Hey, as I said...I know the amount of work to get it to this point.

And, I actually do care about the value. I think the op is devaluing the other games out there that have been restored. Haha.

Hardtop? Is that the same as an overlay?

Interesting. This is the second thread I have seen you discussing/accusing price pumping the last few days. I went back in your history to see what you sold games for over time. I mean are you like heavily discounting yours when you sell? Just curious. And I see you go back on pinside about three years and have not put up one for sale thread. I guess you keep every game you have bought. Good for you.

How did you ding the hard top ? I thought it was durable enough that it would be pretty difficult to blemish it like that . Pretty game ! Glwts

Nice looking game with a ton of work into it. Surprised it hasn’t sold.

This would probably sell at Pintastic

I personally think the game looks great, but having a collage of before/after pics is confusing to me. Pre-painted then post-painted, then no playfield in game, then whatever else....

Show us what we are buying my dude!

In regards to your resets. . .
I'm sure you've ruled out power supply issues to your MPU.
I was chasing a reset problem on my Paragon a little while back and was able to resolve it after trying a lot of other things -- all it took was routing some of the wiring a bit different. Here is a link to a post in the thread that discusses the situation should you want to pursue it further.

Nice looking Flash Gordon -- hope I can make mine look as good!

When does the reset occur?

Did you repin connectors?
If so which ones?
Is SDB rebuilt?

Pics look like they go in perfect order to me. Before shots, then he did the playfields first, put back in and tested (you can see the paint on the inside of the cabinet wasn’t redone yet at that point). Then took those out and worked on the coin door and redoing cabinet. Then put it all back together.

Reset issue or not, game is beautiful as hell. This game has been on my wish list for a long time, and I’ve been coming back to look at it almost daily. Never thought I would pay that much for a FG, but it’s starting to feel like this one might be worth it. A lot of the heavy lifting’s been done already.

Agreed. That’s how I start powdercoating things inside of the cabinet when I’m working on a game. Similar to you doing the transformer plate inside.

Regardless, great job. Game turned out beautifully. I’m really tempted, just worried I wouldn’t be able to fix the remaining issues. An offer might be coming.

Played this FG at Pintastic, it plays as it should.
Good deal for someone wanting a FG with all the work done.

This is a very challenging game to restore.

Looks great! Recently sold mine and I miss it already.

Thanks for bringing it- The only game that I played "one more time" trying to get a handle on it, outstanding!
