It's rare for a 2 year old game to need a complete restoration but here we are.
I mean, let's break down the work needed to fix this mess.
- Replace or restore legs
- Replace or restore coin door
- Replace or restore armor
- Replace or restore lockbar, tossing that button surround in the trash
- Replace or restore wireforms
- Remove those "spray lights" from the back
- Remove pinstadiums
- Remove lightsaber
- Remove trough light
- Remove speaker lights
- Remove speaker light badges
- Replace original translite
- Remove lit shooter surround
- Replace original shooter
- All new set of Titans to get rid of crayola
- Remove colored plastic protectors
- Remove flipper toppers
- Replace flipper buttons
- Remove hinge stickers
- Remove what looks like 6-12 superfluous plastic mods (do we need TWO falcons? or 3 lightsabers?)
Did I miss anything?
On the plus side, it probably has under 200 plays...I doubt he had time to flip it with all the destruction he was doing.
I started looking into what it would take to fix this abomination.
It looks like replacement rather than restoration is the path of least resistance.
Coin door - $159 https://www.pinballlife.com/stern-coin-door-for-spike-system-machines-with-4-button-service-assembly-wiring-harness.html
Legs - $54.95 https://www.pinballlife.com/sternsega-black-legs-set-of-4.html
Lockdown bar $99.95 https://www.pinballlife.com/stern-dual-latch-lockdown-bar-with-actionfire-cutout.html
Side Rails - $29/ea: https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/535-7297-02
Speaker panel (maybe original is salvagable, but in case those badges left marks): $159 https://www.pinballlife.com/backbox-displayspeaker-panel-for-stern-spike-2-system-machines.html
Shooter assembly - $33.99: https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/500-6146-00-04
The unknowns here are the wireforms. All those would need replacement, unless stripping/chroming is feasible.
I wonder if Stern stocks them?
The rest of the stuff is just added parts that can be removed.
OP, if you want to sell for $7500 hit me up as I'd be happy to restore this machine. You can remove/keep/resell all the parts I listed a few posts above.
Quoted from attyrhodes:Price dropped again boys, who's jumping on this?
Keep dropping.
What OP doesn't realize is all that extra crap he did made the game substantially less desirable.
A "vanilla" SWCA Premium would have probably already sold.
Quoted from pinlink:Hopefully the price drops low enough that someone actually buys it, doesn't change a thing, and brings it to shows for all to see in person.
If it hits $7500 I am buying it to undo all of that crap. I kinda miss my SWPro anyway.
Quoted from Yesh23:I’m pretty sure the first time you mentioned you’d buy it for 7500 the OP wanted to tell you to F off but by the third time there’s no telling what Obscenities he is using before he tells you to F off. There’s no way the OP is letting it go for 7500 just saying
We'll see how long it sits

I actually think $7500 is a little high given the parts and work I'll need to do. I think I'd go $7000.
