I've got a collection of 1 right now (Counterforce) always looking to add more but it's tough to track down anything worth buying local living where I do. I picked this poor guy up over the summer, likely saved it from the junkyard. Looking forward to getting some time with it but it's tough when there's a new baby to take care of.

Anyway, here are a few pics of the electronics, thankfully the playfield is in much more reasonable shape. Far more reasonable than the electronics that's for damn sure.

Leak much?

Damaged so badly that someone had to use fibreglass patch to fix it at one point I guess?

Looks like a little bit of corrosion around the transistors until...

Counterforce is a hugely underrated game. One of the best from that era ive ever played.
Personally i think they are in a league of their own from that era.
Would like to add a Volcano one day and i think then i might be happy!

I'm so excited to get mine up and working. Can't wait! I love the art on the playfield and backbox.

Quoted from blownfuse:
Counterforce was one of the first games in my collection that I had never played before. It's a fun game that keeps you coming back and pushing the credit button. You're lucky to have one, they're getting harder to find now.

I believe it. I'd actually never heard of the game before I saw one for sale sold "as is" this past summer. Figured what the hell, for $300 I could sink some money into it and likely come up with a decent machine. The more I read about it and the more gameplay videos I've watched, the more I'm glad I pulled the trigger.
