Here's the first widebody pin produced by Bally - Paragon.
The game passes all self-tests and all sounds, switches, etc. work as they should and have been adjusted where necessary. All bulbs also work, including the three coin door lights.
The playfield has been completely stripped, sanded then lacquered (process repeated 4x), and a new playfield overlay then properly applied. Mylar has also been applied to sections that typically wear on this machine's playfield; around the bumpers, in front of the slingshots and at the ball landing points for the saucers.
All parts were cleaned, solenoids and other components replaced where necessary, new rubbers installed and the playfield waxed then reassembled. All plastics are intact with no cracking. The lone cosmetic issue on the playfield is one of the bumpers has a small nick to the cover, which you can see in the pics. To top it all off, a brand new pinball is also included. *chef kiss*
The boards are all original with NO acid damage, with all headers being cleaned and reflowed, the sound PCB being recapped and other components replaced where necessary. The displays all work properly, all segments, and their HV adjusted properly as well. A brand new off-board three AAA battery pack has also been installed to save high scores properly when turned off (installed after pics taken).
The backglass had some flaking starting but none of the artwork has gone missing - still complete and looking great. Laminate and Triple Thick have been applied to arrest any further flaking (see pics). More rust than I'd like on the lower bar for the backglass.
The cabinet itself is solid, with all the original artwork present. Typical dings, fading, etc. are there as you might expect after 40+ years.
There are two State of Texas tax stickers - one on the apron and one on the backbox's right side. I've opted to leave these as removing them would damage the paint underneath. So, there's your local flavor, y'all!
Lastly, the keys for the original locks for the coin door and backbox are included, as is the original "Bally Electronic Pinball Games Repair Procedures Module & Component Replacement" manual.
Looking for a beautiful, fully-functional Paragon - look no further!
Cash/pickup in Plano, TX strongly preferred but will ship with Michelle if necessary at buyer's expense.
