Condition: Fully restored (full original status)
Offers are welcome as well. And if anyone has any good experience with a reasonably priced shipper I would love to here.
The quote I got is about 1400 Dollar including insurance.
Quoted from Dayhuff:Yeah usually I NEVER watch these kind of video's but HOLY CRAP that was entertaining!! I think just your bonus alone on ball one beats out anything I ever scored on a five ball game. Not to mention you got multiball like what, four times? I lost count......, very nice!!
John
Thanks haha, yes it was a good game. It took a few tries. On the first ball I had spelled spirit and was trying to get into multiball to collect the special with 3x score. Which would be 300k. And there we're so many accidental "almost" droptarget hits before getting multiball. In the end I couldn't get it done
Quoted from tandem2:The spinning disc motor seems like it’s very quiet. Does it make any noise at all?
Great that you noticed. The new motor is very quiet. The original motor works fine but just makes so much noise. I replaced it with a geared dc motor and put a regulator and stepdown converter on a small PCB. This way you can even adjust the speed a bit. I made a bracket so it can be attached to the original mount that is attached with the rubbers around the screwholes. That way it isolates the vibrations. And if you want you can still easily make it original again.
Quoted from Dayhuff:Not sure about his but I just replaced my motor with a NOS one from PBR, yes it was still in the newspaper wrapper from 1980. Anyways, it's pretty dang quite, not entirely but certainly way better then the Volcano motor that was super noisy and spun 100mph that someone had stuck in it's place.

Ofcourse I first tried to make the original motor more quiet. I took it all apart, cleaned it and lubed it with the right kind of grease but it still made so much noise. I think it's just wear that happens after a few years that causes the gears to have a little play in it.
Quoted from 27dnast:You say the cabinet is restored. Details?
Well, I don't believe it's blue on the inside originally. And the sides have no damage and great color. So I imagined it was repainted from the ground up. I don't have much details from the former owner (who had done this, of the one before him). I had it picked up with a truck from Belgium without much information other than pictures. Felt like I had to jump on it back then
