Non-working but complete with a blown out playfield Kings of Steel. Is $300 still too much, assuming that you are not the type of person who parts machines that can be easily fixed?

As a follow up on this, I did buy it today and brought it home. I lifted the playfield and immediately saw that the F4 5-amp fuse was blown. I replaced that and the game would not start.

During switch test I discovered that the coin door slam tilt was bent closed. Fixed that and now it plays 95 percent. Now all it needs is a shop job and a few switch adjustments.

The rest of the machine is really nice. Back glass is mint, displays are all good, cabinet is very nice. Such a shame about the playfield. I could go for a playfield overlay.

League night happens here tonight and this machine is ready and it will be part of the lineup. It seems that the only major flaw with the original playfield layout is how simple it is to continually shoot for the right standup target.

I made a basic deflection piece that will hopefully add a level of both difficulty (going up) and risk (rolling down) to the shot.

I sold this machine over the holidays, but here is a picture for future reference of the deflector that I made. I reshaped a spare clear plastic from another machine and sandwiched it in using the existing long screw and bell caps that secure the plastics. It closes down the width of the lane leading to the right side target shot and it directs balls coming back down more towards a center drain, adding a much bigger risk to the shot.
