The game had significant some wear and tear on the cabinet but I believe that I and the previous owner have done a faithful job bringing this pin back to life. The boards are now Rottendog replacements with 5.0 generation code. The cabinet looked to have fade and the bottom was warped. I disconnected everything attached to the bottom of the cabinet, used a zip saw to remove it and replaced it with new birch plywood. I have picture documentation of most of the work. I removed and rebuilt the entire ramp system (replacing two of them for nearly $500) and upper playfield. I have had most of the machine apart, cleaned and replaced anything with rust. It plays with no errors or issues and is very smooth throughout. I think I have invested far more in upgrading this than I will get out of it. My price reflects what I see in other TSPP games of this caliber. I think it's a beautiful pin and but even so I'm ready to move on. Pink is the theme but hopefully not overwhelming. See my comments on games I've sold. No issues and my games are exactly as I describe.
MODS OR UPGRADES:
- TiltTopper coming! just ordered and I'm expecting it any day.
- Flipper Fidelity enhanced animated back box lighting, this appears to no longer be available on their website.
- speaker lights RGB
- COLOR DMD LED
- new boards from Rottendog
- Cabinet decals, these are brighter than the original but needed based on the fade in the original art. they can be easily removed if you are passionate about it being true to the original look. I think they look great.
- new upper right ramp and couch ramp, very hard to find
- new metal flaps to other ramps, riveted as original
- new cliffy protectors on the ramps
- Titan rubbers in pink, every single one was replaced
- rebuild kit all 5 flipper mechs and new solenoids on each. game flips strong.
- new solenoid for garage door so it works reliably, repainted yellow bracket, added pink decal
- replaced bottom of cabinet with new 1/2 inch birch plywood painted black as original. cabinet is better than new with this material. nailed and glued to original cabinet.
- LEDs throughout, some small special things like purple pop lights in the cooling towers. tried to keep the original feel of the game color-wise.
- pink powder coat on wireforms, daredevil Bart's skateboard, monorail. some minor wear showing on left wireform.
- side art blades, left side took a minor hit as seen in pics. decals also included Moe's tavern and running homer on the back of the playfield.
- donut shooter
- sandblasted and repainted coin door, shooter plate, coin box, lock down receiver, lock down bar, and service support bars under playfield.
- new stern manual
- new legs, nuclear lollipop rails and hinges. nuclear start button
- replaced drop targets.
- additional leftover parts, decals, etc. included
- I did not do any additional work on the back of the machine. just not worth it for something that faces the wall.
- playfield looks very good and clean. no issues other than expected normal wear and tear. the shooter lane has wear as expected as does Itchy and Scratchy. I have added cliffy protectors to both since my original listing. Photos coming.
- I did some additional cleanup of the back box, the transformer, and cabinet interior.
Happy to prove video of gameplay or other pics as requested. Easy out from first floor. This game looks and plays like new. I will include the atom pinstadiums for an additional $400. This is one of the best improvements to this game and it really needs this feature in my opinion. New photos added showing pinstadium effect and cliffy protectors installed.
