OP: *I have a Germany playfield protector on hand that I'll throw in for another $100($50 off retail).
I need to let go of my Bally Eight Ball pinball machine. It is a light project, but flips and plays a full game just fine. Overall not a bad looking game and an all time classic Bally. All manuals and such included.
Things to note:
Some playfield wear
Couple flaky light sockets, but all important ones work well
Lower backbox GI is out(probably just needs connector redone on rectifier board)
A couple of the chimes wires are disconnected(haven't looked into it, other chimes work fine)
Player 4 display needs replaced(works just fine when another working display swapped into P4)
Credit display needs main connector solder reflowed(works when pressure applied)
The game has a brand new Alltek MPU in it and new rubbers all around, although mismatched in color. The backglass is near perfect with no flaking, lifting, or faded color. All solenoids(coils) work and all switches work as they should. Cabinet shows age but is solid and cleaner than average.
Easy loadout from garage. I need to free up some money and haven't gotten around to giving this game its finishing touches.
$675 for a working Eight Ball that just needs a little love to be a great game. Good chance to take on some light repair tasks and get your feet wet on a simpler game. First come first served.
Thanks!
