    $ 750

    Item description

    I am slowing down on how many I do but had some cancellations so have some time to get one or two done in the next few months.

    Performing playfield swaps for Bally Williams System 1, WPC, WPC95 and newer along with Stern and JJP. Older titles please contact me first. I also will do extensive shop jobs that entail a full tear down of the entire playfield and rebuild. Pricing starts at $750 for a bare bones swap. Full "real" shop jobs that remove everything from the top and rebuild/replace worn on the bottom side depends on the title. Please contact me.

    Hardtops: I will do these if you prepare/clear the playfield for it. I'm not set up to paint or to do a proper sanding.

    My typical swap is a full tear down of every part and assembly including cleaning and polishing of small parts. You provide the playfield and the parts you want swapped. I'll tear down and advise of what is found broken including pictures. There's always something broken! Wear parts like coil sleeves, switches and related get replaced. I generally recommend getting new wooden side rails, plastics and ramps when they're available. Cleaning of all harnesses. Other details such as coil wrappers, mods, LED's, etc can be added. Prices range from $750-1000+ depending on what is done, etc. I can provide the parts or you can.

    Most of my swaps and shops are documented here on Pinside. Here are a few:

    Please contact me for pricing/request. Turnaround is generally a 2-4 weeks depending on the title and parts flow. I usually only work on one or two at the time max.

    Correct. I wouldn’t trust doing an original. And I guess the joke is on me.

    You want me to swap a playfield and then you bash me. I'm glad I didn't take it on. Instablock!

    Hey thanks to almost everyone. Maybe someone had a bad day or year. I know I’m tired of the current events and my ass has had it up to here.

    Quoted from Oneangrymo:

    how do people typically get you the playfield to swap? I never shipped just a playfield before, do most people just drop it physically off?

    Yes it’s not really a shipping type thing. I’ve done shipping a few times where someone shipped a game and had it picked up but we worked together before. Many times someone will bring the entire cab over and we take the playfield out together and they restore the cabinet while I do the swap. When they come back we test it out and make sure it’s all working and if not I fix it.

    The price is fair and people know I don’t do this for a living. It’s beer money and I work at a comfortable pace on my time. I enjoy doing this and find it relaxing. Most people are cool with that.

    Yes I will swap almost any repro and certainly something from Ron or Neo too. If you have some Uber rare NOS playfield I would shy away as I couldn’t replace it. If you’re like my creepy ex girlfriend, I will avoid you too.

    Happy Monday!

    I’m sure someone near you does it. There’s a lot of people that do them.

    FYI you cannot post PM info yet they want you to PM. What the actual fuck?

    Clearly it wasn’t private. Did you see the thread?
