What I did in regards to shopping:
Playfield stripped of all parts, vacuumed, cleaned, polished, two coats blitz wax.
All mechs taken apart and cleaned/polished.
All drop targets, pop bumper (skirts, bodies, caps) are brand new.
All flippers rebuilt (flipper bodies, bushings, cranks, links, plunger, springs, coil stops, sleeves, EOS switches).
All new rubbers.
All lights replaced with 47s.
All coil sleeves and coil tension washers replaced.
All displays reflowed.
New flipper buttons and cabinet switches.
New base for right kickout hole.
MPU had alkaline damage that has been repaired and it, the solenoid driver board, lamp driver board and rectifier board have had all pins AND contacts replaced.
NVRAM installed.
SDB and Sound board had their electrolytic caps replaced. Sound board had both Pots replaced.
Rectifier board completely rebuilt.
Plunger rebuilt.
Update:Forgot to mention it comes with the original manual, new playfield glass and all new levelers.
Noticeable defects include the front corners of the cab being worn and previous coin door lock holes with some dings on the door itself. The bottom three-four inches of the backglass are peeling but all artwork is intact and hasn’t degraded in the year I’ve owned it (been in temperature controlled environment). Inserts are cupped and under the apron I replaced a ball guide that was missing with a spare piece of bendable metal (hidden and 100% functional). Occasionally a bulb will needed to be adjusted in socket if it flickers (couple times it happened in pop bumpers due to activity). General cab wear and playfield wear though the bonus area seems to be above average in regards to typical playfield wear found there.
