Up for sale, Capcom's Pinball Magic. Game has been in my collection for quite a few years. Was recently shopped... playfield topside stripped, buffed and waxed. Has new balls, new rubber, burned out bulbs replaced, and generally cleaned up, but not a total restoration. Also replaced both slingshots with completely new assemblies.
Game is cosmetically better than most I've seen - especially the cabinet. Only slight fade, and overall very nice. There is one touch-up spot on the left side, but it's hardly noticeable. Playfield is also nice, with original Mylar. There is a small wear spot on the right side of the pop-bumper, and a little wear around the scoops - but very little. Comes with a set of Cliffy protectors (not installed). Translite is very good! All boards are good, and flippers are strong.
I chose not to install LEDs in this game, because there are "waterfall" lighting effects in the lighting program, and I just don't think LEDs would do justice to the programmed effects. Sound and lights work great, and all toys work as they should with one exception - the floating ball needs some TLC. It works fine about half of the time, but sometimes the switch doesn't trigger and that leads to a ball search. It also stutters a little in the up and down movement of the floating ball. I haven't been able to figure out exactly why it's having an issue, but I think it just needs some tweaking. Price reflects this issue, but the fact that it works half of the time means it probably isn't too serious, but I don't have time or patience to sort it out. Also comes with a few extra parts that I picked up back when Illinois Pinball bought out Capcom and was selling off parts.
If you're not familiar with the architecture of Capcom pinball, I can tell you that this game was way ahead of its time in a lot of ways. It's on-board diagnostics are far better than anything Bally, Williams, or Stern were doing in the '90s. I'd prefer local pick-up, but will consider shipping if buyer makes all arrangements and assumes complete liability for any shipping damage. I don't have the materials to prepare it for shipping, so your shipper would need to do that. You are most welcome to come see and play the game with no obligation, and I've tried to offer full disclosure about any defects or issues. This really is a great game, and this title was a very limited run. Feel free to PM me with any questions, and thanks for looking!
