Gorgeous.

Gosh, can't imagine what the restored one will bring in. It'll be a lot.
Probably
Quoted from TigerLaw:Gorgeous.

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
Quoted from TigerLaw:How do you plan to handle the sale protocols? eBay?
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.
Quoted from TigerLaw:So you are restoring both of them fully?
Quoted from PACMAN:These are a pain. They have a stupid pin that needs to be knocked out. The blur in the pic is a hammer dropping
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!!
Quoted from TigerLaw:Looks great!
Yeah it does. What's the coil count on that sucker?
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.......
Like 15 or 16. Too many!
Quoted from dothedoo:Yeah it does. What's the coil count on that sucker?
OUCH! Well, there are some very talented playfield restorers in the States, do you have anyone down under?
