Item description
For Sale: A very nice example of one of the great vintage-Sterns - Meteor! A full tear-down, bulletproofing, and EXTENSIVE shop job, was just completed - the game looks great, and plays 100%.
Details of the work is as follows:
• SOLENOID DRIVER BOARD: The two electrolytic filter capacitors were replaced w/new, the recommended ground-modifications to the filter caps/test points were made, and all connector pins were inspected and re-flowed as-needed.
• SOUND BOARD: All electrolytic capacitors were replaced w/new - all connector pins were inspected and re-flowed as-needed.
• MPU: The original PCB was washed/neutralized, the dedicated rechargable battery removed, and the memory-function restored with a new Weebly duel-slot adapter/NVRAM.
• LAMP DRIVER: Replaced two faulty 2N6054 transistors w/new - all connector pins were inspected and re-flowed as-needed.
• DISPLAYS: All connector pins were inspected and re-flowed as-needed. The original displays are bright and clear, and the voltage at which they run has been reduced to preserve them during future use.
• RECTIFIER BOARD: Replaced a faulty bridge rectifier, replaced a faulty resistor, all connector pins were inspected and re-flowed as-needed.
• SHOP JOB: Details of the general shop-work completed is as follows:
- All under playfield drop target assemblies were completely removed, dissembled, cleaned, and adjusted. All 15 targets were replaced with new game-correct replacements;
- All three flippers were completely rebuilt with all new links, stops, plungers, sleeves, bushings, springs, correct Stern flipper bats, and EOS switches;
- All playfield & backbox GI lighting was replaced with new cool/natural white Comet LED's (feature lights still incandescent);
- Complete top-side tear-down;
- Missing spinner target, spinner wire, and game-correct decals replaced w/new;
- Multiple under-playfield wiring-hacks restored to factory configuration;
- A broken roll-over "star" insert replaced w/new;
- Playfield cleaned, polished, and waxed;
- All playfield rubbers were replaced w/new;
- All nylon post-cap acorn nuts replaced w/new;
- New leg levelers installed;
- New grounded cord plug installed;
- New "Start" button, and "Stern Electronics" coin-door decals installed;
- New pinball installed; and
- New coin door lock installed.
Please review the pictures closely for additional condition details, and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, or if you would like to see additional photos of a specific area. The original playfield is very nice for this title, which is notorious for having substantial wear. The original backglass is also very presentable; however, does show some subtle flaking and a few scratches. The cabinet is one of the nicest I have seen, is solid, and looks great overall. The backglass cross bar lock assembly is missing from this game, and no backbox lock is present - this mechanism is not required for a home-use game, and is not available as a new reproduction, so I did not search for a used one to replace the missing original.
The game is located in Central Pennsylvania, just off I-80. Pickup is highly preferred, but shipping is not out of the question if the buyer makes all arraignments, and payment-in-full has cleared my account before the game leaves my possession.
IN REGARD TO THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC: This pin is currently located in my clean, dry, and climate controlled warehouse. If a meaningful deposit is received, you're more than welcome to leave it there until such a time when you are comfortable picking it up. In that scenario, I do reserve the right to at least one or two games a week though! If you would like to get it into your lineup ASAP, I am open to a pickup anytime, and we can easily abide by all of the recommended practices for interaction. You can drive right into the building and almost right up to your new machine. I have all the lifts/dolly's/carts needed to make loading it a breeze. I will leave it as you're call, and I will respect and accommodate what ever you decide.
