My DE Time Machine is on the chopping block. This game was pretty sad when I first picked it up, but was brought back from the dead with assistance on the electronics (thank you RLM amusements). I did the teardown, the cosmetic improvements, and flipper rebuild. Overall a nice transformation from absolute basket case to solid player's machine. Such a cool game if you haven't played it: fun, approachable, & with seriously awesome music. The chime effect on multi-ball is amazing. Here are some details on this example, let me know if you need any other pics:
Good:
* Full topside teardown, cleaned all topside parts & playfield. Ramps are spotless. Did some general cabinet cleaning
* Flippers rebuilt and strong
* brand new XPin displays
* cleaned/de-rusted lockbar receiver
* pops and slings are snappy
* LEDs (Comet sunlight, clean/bright, but still warm)
* Solid cabinet, no water damage
* Fully functioning, no known issues (switch errors in test read "NONE")
* Installed a really nice, fully intact Starwarp ramp
* Lock ramp is solid - Repaired a break near the wireform. Results are very strong & not particularly noticeable (can't see repair at all when playing)
* VUK ramp is in great shape
* Bought a nice backglass as that was missing originally - Very little wear, I cleared the artwork before install.
Bad:
* some broken/missing plastics (above center targets, next to starwrap ramp, slingshots, flashers)
* center targets were replaced at one point, so the shapes aren't a match (though functional)
* Legs could use a re-furb/replace.
* lockbar in front of cabinet. Some joker bondoed it to the wood.
* some wear/tear on cabinet, removed some wood screws through the bottom of the head
* playfield is nice under the mylar, nice near pop bumpers & on the eject, but rough in other places. Wear on rollovers, near slings, etc. Some black touch ups were done near the inlanes/flippers and 1 or two other small places. They are mediocre. Light planking near the flippers Two inserts near the flippers have damage, I'm assuming from flasher heat.
Overall though, this game shoots very well. My daughter freakin' loves it. Good family game & for music/sci-fi fans.
Asking price is actually lower than what I have into the game, just looking to recover some funds and find a good home. Plan to clear up space & $$ for a restoration I'm working on and upcoming trip, but will possibly entertain trades. See my wishlist for some of the lower end titles (not looking to add much if any cash at this time)
