In decent shape. Not collectors quality, but not total junk either. 6.5/10 cosmetically overall, maybe a 7. Plays well after 40+ hrs work.

Has 100 new LEDs installed in playfield, new xPin dispalys, cleaned, waxed, and some crude playfield touch-ups.

Lane guides were replaced with rubbers, All of the plastics minus 1 are original, one was cracked in half and glued, another is chipped. They are yellowed. I made a rough one for the missing plastic. Ion ramp is chewed up, but functional, and I've done what I can to repair it without dropping $50 on a replacement.

Board work was done by myself (12 yrs exp). Blanking circuit repaired, new battery holder, new capacitors (including large filter caps) everywhere, all new fuses, re-flowed solder on ALL boards, replaced some sand resistors, some TIP102s replaced, some 2n3906's replaced, new rubbers, complete flipper rebuild & new flipper coils w/ caps installed, new flipper cabinet buttons. Original legs and lock-bar were spray painted orange Krylon. Pictures are in the market area.

Best lightshow on a Data East..put the LED flashers in it and prepare to return to base.

This one still has standard flasher bulbs, but LEDs everywhere else on the playfield. And agreed, light show on it is pretty sick.

More pics and dropping the price down to $850 (which is probably more than I have into it now...).

Laser War is a very fun pin and one of my favorite light shows. Good deal for somebody.

Location??? Doh - read the title

I may just find out a way to keep it if I can't sell it within a month or so. It is a really fun game, I just wanted to reclaim a little space in the basement.

Central NJ - Right in the title.

#15 10 years ago

I gotta take some more pics with the glass off. The ones I have suck, definitely not helping me.

I don't know about you guys, but LASER WAR is one of Data East's best pinball machines E V E R!!!!!! The sounds & lights on this game are perfect, and I love how the machine goes nuts when you win a jackpot! This is one of those "one of a kind" pinball machines that is very unique to me. I love it, and hope to have one of my own one day.

I agree, it is one of their best. This game would be A LOT more popular if it weren't for the backglass.

I have now a total remake of cabinet art for the data east laser war printed on UV protected film so it never will fade.
This project has taken 8 month and now ready for all that have laser war and the complete cabinet artwork set.
Let me know I have 12 sets ready
