Gosh, can't imagine what the restored one will bring in. It'll be a lot.

#119 6 years ago

Probably

How do you plan to handle the sale protocols? eBay?

#123 6 years ago

Not a fan of Ebay. Not sure yet. If i let the restored one go, i would actually prefer a trade toward something i really want.

Krull Pinball
Lockness Monster Pinball
KingPin Pinball
King Kong Pinball

See the crosshairs/registration mark.

The playfield i took out of Spirit#1 had a light installed here. This playfield and the NOS playfield don't.

These are a pain. They have a stupid pin that needs to be knocked out. The blur in the pic is a hammer dropping.

Old parts sitting next to brand new flipper rebuild kit.

So you are restoring both of them fully?

#134 6 years ago

No, sorry for the confusion. I'm working on both of them at the same time. Both are getting LEDs, new glass, legs, NOS plastics.

#1 is getting the full blown restoration. Pretty much new everything.

#2 is getting a deluxe shop job. With some new and NOS parts.

Leaning toward selling the restored one but it's very difficult to decide because it's so nice.

Could not agree more. I HATE those Gottlieb parts! But I love their games.

Pretty much got it all put back together. Still have a couple issues to figure out. 2 or 3 stand up targets are registering hits but not being recognized by the software (not scoring). And can't get into test now. The button used to work but now its not doing anything - ARGG!!

Yeah it does. What's the coil count on that sucker?

#144 6 years ago

This is the sad image of my Spirit Playfield. How the heck am I going to fix this? It is currently in another country but will join me here in New Zealand at some stage. This was the result of a previous owner trying to remove the mylar.

maybe I could glue it back down ;(

If only someone would repro the playfield.......

OUCH! Well, there are some very talented playfield restorers in the States, do you have anyone down under?
