I just picked up a Game Plan Vegas Cocktail pinball machine that has been used as a coffee table. The good news: The playfield is in great shape, as well as the plastics, and no back glass to worry about. The bad news: Someone removed the boards and power supply, and most of the wiring harness. If this was a Bally or Williams, I'm sure I could round up the parts to bring it back to life. Finding boards for a Game Plan may be difficult. Creating a wiring harness would be a ton of work.

What would you do?

I thought of the pieces you have in your living room when I bought this. Thanks John.

Quoted from PopBumperPete:

not a perfet answer, but is there a Bally game with simlar features?
Rewire the whole thing to suit bally electronics and out in an altec board

Now that is an option that I did not consider. If I could map lamps and features in a way that would make sense... With the Altec, I would be able to select different built in roms to emulate the closest match. Buy a Bally sound board from Andrew. Hmmmm.

Quoted from thepinballworks:

It looks like you are going to need the rest of the cabinet to start with. Check to see if it has the displays.
Cool table.

The displays are intact. Are the boards in the lower cabinet? Thanks for the photo... I was wondering what was supposed to be there. Do have any pictures of the unit opened up where it shows the board layout?

Any thoughts on what to do with the LED displays during the light show? Clock, Date, inside and outside temp?

Some inside pictures.

Thanks for the inside pictures! This looks to be an earlier game than Vegas, but I believe GamePlan only made a few versions of boards. I have a GamePlan Old Coney Island, so I am familiar with the Z80 systems. The Vegas has a sound board and speaker instead of chimes.
