I'm selling my Lightning with pain in my heart: the reason is that I'm going to move to a smaller house. This machine could be one of the highlights of your classic pinball collection.
Both playfields look absolutely stunning. All inserts have been flattened and securely fastened into the playfields. After that, I've added 6 layers of 2k-clearcoat to the fields. This adds great depth and high gloss to the beautiful artwork. The plastics are also in great condition. And, as a special, I've done an invisible, removable modification to the drop down from the upper playfeld so that the ball always chooses the path on the right side. This adds greatly to the gameplay.
The backglass is in very nice shape. It has been lightly touched up and sealed with varnish to keep it beautiful.
The coin door and legs have been repainted in the original color. The cabinet does have some light damage, but is very nice all together.
Technically, the game is perfect. All assemblies have been cleaned and rebuilt. The MPU is in great shape. All capacitors on the soundboard and speechboard have been renewed. The power supply was professionally rebuilt.
Can you find another Lightning? Sure, probably. But can you find another one like this? I think you'd be hard pressed.
The game is located in the Netherlands.
