Apollo 13
Sega, 1995Hi, I am new here so go easy on me for not being very technical with things. I purchased an Apollo 13 for my little girl. Immediately noticed the dot matrix display was going out so i replaced it. Now half of the lights in the back box don't illuminate (see photo). Any help would much appreciated. Trying to get this ready as a get well gift for my daughter. Thank you very much.
Thank you guys so much! I got the lights working. It was one of the main wires that was loose. I am now wondering if anyone could help me locate some of the plastic playfield pieces that are cracked. I need three: One with artwork on the left, one with artwork in the middle and the long clear one on the right. See photos. Where does one find such parts? I can't deny that buying a 20 year old machine as a gift for my daughter has been stressful for this non-technical guy. I had a few dealers telling me never buy older pinball machines as the new Sterns are made much better? Is that true? I hope I made the right decision to get something a little more classic.
