Hi all, I had a chance to see this genie and a couple of questions..

1. It’s dead (possibly a fuse), It’s minty condition, with cupped inserts, and a few hairline cracks on the backglass paint, needs new rubber and a wax, maybe other electronic/fuse holders work etc...

What is a good starting price to offer on purchasing this machine?

2., is there a playfield protector available for this game?

Thank you, I’d appreciate any help

Quoted from bigguybbr:

If you do a search in Market archives you can get a sense of what these are going for in various conditions and in different areas. There are non-working pins that have gone from $500-$1000 in the last year. See if they will take the back glass off and take some pictures of the boards. If there is battery acid damage, that will cost you $$$ to fix or replace boards
https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/archive?s=1&keywords=genie

Thank you, so far no acid damage on the boards

Quoted from MajesticPinball:

Got a rather interesting Diamond Lady in the workshop at the moment with a non-vitrigraph playfield. I was pretty certain all Diamond Lady's had Vitrigraph playfields and I can't find any mention of this design of playfield online, so whether this is a very rare playfield or what I don't know, thought it might be of interest to a few of you though [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Very nice! Clean it up and take some super high quality photos! Maybe one day someone will want to reproduce it

I have a Gottlieb system 80A, it has 1 controlled lamp that I have an LED in and it is dim, the LED is fine, the socket is new. No other lamp is dim, what do I need to check?

Quoted from radial_head:

Looking to purchase a Sys80 Sound/Speech board. No SC-01 necessary (going in a Haunted House). Need one ASAP.
Thanks!

There’s a new one on eBay, if you message the seller, he will remove the speech chip and give you a discount

Quoted from radial_head:

Not for a Sys80 that I can see. I've emailed Fred a few times and he's gone AWOL on me. Any chance the ones that shipped out with Krull (there are a few) would work? They all seem to be missing U12-U19 (that row at least maybe not the numbers themselves)

Fred had them listed on eBay , now they’re not there, maybe he’s making more?? His board works with HH, you just need roms, honestly the speech chip is $50 on the market, if he removes it, it only saves you $25. So keep the chip in and sell it.

Pull the relay and clean the contacts really good and make sure the contacts are pressing really good when solenoid is energized…. For good measure

Nice collection of SYS80B.

Stay tuned, other revelations could leak out before this summer.

Quoted from RDBowers:

Thanks. I have search ALL the regular sources. I have found Philips and Robertson drive screws but I am trying to stay as close to the original with my restorations. For now its reclaim old screws and use Evaporust.

Why!? I’m assuming you’re staying with the original flathead screws… Flathead screws are just a waste. A friend and I built 2 Gottliebs from scratch, every screw was updated, the cost was minimal compared to the time saved installing and re installing by updating to Phillips , not to mention getting new metal in the machine and not having to clean and polish all of those heads

Quoted from Mthomasslo:

Some people just don't get what a real 100 pt. restoration involves. If the machine left the factory with flat head screws then it should have flat head screws! Each to their own, but since the original question was where to find the needed screws, that's what he's looking for, not suggestions for modern alternatives.

Fair enough. Original is original…. My opinion: hardware underneath should be updated, flathead screws are a waste of time and a potential hazard, Gottlieb cut corners and cheaped out

Quoted from sparky672:

Must be a regional thing or a pinball thing. I'm in Chicago area... and I've been a gear-head and around automotive gear-heads since the early 80's and never heard that before.

Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:

Probably regional. I've called it a flat head screwdriver since I was kid and I've been in the Louisville, KY area my whole life. It's so accepted that if you google flathead screwdriver, you get slotted screwdrivers coming up.

I’m in west Texas , my grandfathers, uncles, co workers, we all call slotted screw heads “flat heads”.

I agree, we need to be more precise with our description of the type of screw and driver.

I stand by my opinion slotted screws suck
