Just picked this Stern Lectronamo up the other day. Bought it for $200...The owner said it booted when he last played it about a year ago but hasn't played it since. Of course it wouldn't boot when I was there. That;s okay, that makes the negotiation process easier for me.

No sure how deep down the rabbit hole I want to go with this one...we shall see. In the mean time it's not in horrible shape.

Back glass is pretty bad but over all I have seen worse...

She is ALIVE! Got a chance to work on it last night. You know when they say "It's just a fuse"? Well that was mostly true here. I found the 5V fuse was bad and saw the connector that was causing it. I replaced the fuse and recrimped a connector and she is back working again (almost). The only things I see so far is:
1. No Sound..I do have a SB-100 rebuild kit that will hopefully fix that.
2. A couple of the displays have missing bars in their numbers. I should be able to fix those too or I will just buy a LED conversion and get rid of that high voltage to the displays.
3. The knocker coil is fried. You can see it when you zoom in on the back box pics. I unplugged it and have another on order.

Over all I am happy so far.

Gi and all switches and coils work as designed.
A couple of bulbs burned out but I have plans to convert to LEDs anyways.
I have a full set of AllTek boards on order to replace the battery acid damaged MPU as well as the Solenoid Driver & LED/Lamp Driver boards.

I would like this to be bullet proof (as far as pinball machines can be) when I am done.

I have thought about this as well...I have read where other owners have done this and it makes since...the only thing I find funny is that this is Stern's first pinball machine with electronic sounds, as horrible as they do sound, I have reservations in converting it to chimes..not 100% either way yet.

Yeah, not too bad of shape. I have a new BG on order from BGRESTO.

Awesome, thank you. I'm going to try both.

Yeah, it's not listed but when I emailed him asking about it he replied saying he already has the scan of that back glass.
I'm actually going to send mine to him so that I can keep the mirror portion of the glass. Here is his reply in the email

"A complete restoration for your Stern Lectronomo original artwork (non mirrored with Grey Substitution), on new tempered glass is $275 + $55 Fedex Ground shipping cost to your address in the Continental US ($45 shipping to the Midwest and New England, $65 Shipping to the West Coast).

If you would like a mirrored version, then I will need your original glass. I will strip the ink from it and bond restored artwork to it preserving the original mirroring highlights. Please note any imperfections in you mirrored original blank will still be present on the restoration and backed with grey. This service is available for an additional $50 service fee plus the cost of shipping your glass to me. Instructions for packing your original securely for shipment are available on the website. "

Hope that helps.

Completely understandable. I think the only reason I'm getting mine done is because I have so little into it right now.

I replaced the burned up knocker and ran new cables from the MPU to Sound Board. I also recapped the SB-100 sound board and I am happy to say that I have sound now.

Progress......

I see you have a Sinbad in your collection as well. I have that pin too. What's your thoughts on that one?
