Hi guys. Putting up my Robocop. I bought this game to do a playfield restoration, and I think it's a great candidate if you have those talents. It would make a great player's machine as-is. You don't see these come up much, not sure how many survive. I put it in the Milwaukee show 2 years ago, and people love it. It's a massively fun game, a real crowd pleaser. Check out this video for gameplay and a review.



After I got it home I loved the soundtrack and call outs so much I put a great set of speakers in it (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/robocop-50-60-sound-mod-begins-a-little-help). This thing rocks the house!

Pics are here....

A few things to note. It's got a melted plastic where two flashers locked on. I replaced the transistor that caused this, but the damage was done. I can't be 100% sure what the damage is without pulling the mylar when it's time to restore. Could just need to be sanded, backfilled with epoxy for strength, then re-decaled. Might need to be replaced. Worst case scenario you could make a new insert, details here...

I tried some, but wasn't able to find a replacement. A few dataeast games used these, including Checkpoint, so might not be impossible to find, but no promises.

There is some wear here and there, the kind of thing that on restore would touch up very easily.

There are also a couple of broken plastics and the center target plastic is homemade and not original. I've actually started down the road of remaking plastics for it and can give you my vector art if you are interested. Good print shops can print direct to PETG for usually a minimum order of $50, so you could print a few and sell them to recoup your cost. You can see a couple of my laser prints in the pics. There was a guy who remade them here in England, but he seems to have flown the coop.

One other thing, the center targets are SHREDDED, but I have new ones included in the sale. Just need to be put on.

Also have a ramp sign that needs to be put on and a broken ramp sign and some roms, no extra charge

I bought this 2 years ago for $1500 and I'm in the process of clearing out pins for what I have in them, but I'm pricing this at $1300 (now $1100), which is less than what I have in it, but the melted insert takes $200 off the value IMO, even though it does not affect game play.

Cash only. Any questions of need more pics, just let me know.
