Quoted from BestShot31:I just joined the MB club as a result of picking up a restoration project from GWAXT72. The price was right and I figured I was able to do much of the needed work after inspecting the machine at Rob's place before putting it into my van.
However, when I got it home and upon closer inspection, I was dismayed to see a lot of short cuts and patch work jobs from the many years of being routed. Even the flipper mechanisms were swapped out at some point, replaced by an older Williams assembly on one side. Other issues include a really bent out of shape weldment scoop popper, which appears to be totally unsalvageable, it's been taken out an welded a few times; the spinner mechanism was removed and replace instead with a gate switch wire. The entire playfield was mylared over with only a few minor playfield blemishes that either paint or decals will fix, after removing the mylar of course. I've ordered PF decals, a full set of cabinet decals and replacement mechanisms for the scoop, spinner and flipper assemblies, as well as all the targets and other stuff like plastics. I am not willing to conduct a full playfield swap just yet.
The saving grace is that all the figures and mechanisms/electronics are working fine.
The only error message I get is a proximal switch #48 error. I cannot seem to solve this one. Any suggestions?
After playing the game after you brought it home theres nothing a little love can't fix on that machine, gives us something to work on , winter is coming !!
