Price is firm

For sale is my fully rebuilt Ripley’s Believe It or Not. The game was torn down to a bare playfield and completely rebuilt. All balls guides were soaked, cleaned and polished. All ramps were flame polished. All GI, inserts and flashers are LED. Every metal assembly was disassembled, soaked and scrubbed. All six pop bumpers were completely removed and rebuilt with all new parts. Three brand new boards installed (DMD Controller, DMD Power Supply and Driver Board). The only negatives are someone poorly touched up flipper button wear with black paint and the kick-out had a small wear spot which was professionally touched-up. The pictures show the Back Alley Creations Temple Set installed, but I will be retaining those. The price has been reduced accordingly.

New parts include:
-Center Tombstone Stand-up Target
-Right Spinner
-New Shrunken Head
-New Magnet Core (Shrunken Head)
-All rubbers
-Full Flipper Rebuilds
-Flipper Bats
-All pop bumper parts (covers, bodies, skirts, springs, bases and coil sleeves)
-All coil sleeves
-Flipper buttons
-Playfield hardware
-NVRAM
-Shooter rod, springs and hardware
-Cliffy protector - Scoop
-Ball Baron balls
-Custom Score Cards

Agreed. It was a bear just to switch my old one to Titans! I can’t imagine how much time all this work took.

A bump to the top!

I attached a picture of the game torn down and already in the process of the rebuild. There is not dirt left anywhere on the playfield.

Also, I forgot to mention in the ad, but two extremely common issues with this game are the scoop and the ball trough kick-out welds will break. I had both TIG welded to be stronger than new. Neither will break again.

It's a big job to strip the playfield down and put some love in like that, I can appreciate that effort. I think your price is fine, but some might be scared of the flipper button area. I personally wouldn't be, but I almost wonder if that could be scraped off with minimal effort and lollipop rails?

Regardless, RBION is an underrated pin, it's damn challenging and this is still a very nice one. GLWTS
