I have always liked the game but every time I found one to play on location it was beat up. This one is a very nice example. Still in the van but will post some pictures when I get it set up. Wondering what tweaks can be made to this game to get it dialed in. thanks

Enjoy your new game.

Nice. Did you get it yesterday? I didn't see any JP's and not too many games with decent prices. Well at least no projects I wanted for a decent price. 1400 project system 11's where not what I was hoping for.

Yes at the end of the day around 6. $1700 with topper and cliffys installed. Game looks like it wasnt played much and still has origonal manual and extra parts. Also still has the large piece of out cardbord covering the bottom cabinet inside. Never seen one with this still there.

Good score that was a pretty nice machine. Yeah that beater Getaway II for $1400 was just way overpriced, especially since there was a nice one that sold for $1500.

Fun game. As for setting it up, make sure the plunge launches into the pops reliably.

The eject from the Bunker should hit the left flipper and be able to be stopped most of the time. It shouldn't trigger the left sling.

Make sure the diverter is not bound up or dragging on the ramp. The coil that moves it is pretty weak and if anything is gunked up it often doesn't work.

The T-Rex has its own set of problems: making sure the switches are set correctly, the wire for the coil that closes the mouth breaking, the link that moves the jaw breaks.

Make sure the game ROMs are updated to version 5.13 as this has a revision that helps keep the left right motor for the T-Rex from stripping the gears.

That's all I can think of now. Have fun!

Congrats on the JP. I'm looking for one too.

JP was my 1st pin that I bought back in 09 and I still have it. I sometimes think of selling it because I don't play it as much as I use to, but sad to say it is still my newest pin, year-wise. So I keep it right here in the game room. Once every month or so I'll fire it up and see if I can make it to System Failure.. That never gets old!

Enjoy your New game

Mine sometimes triggers the left sling. Something need to be adjusted or recalibrated?
