I think $1500 is going to be the bottom for a good players machine these days. I saw one for sale in Florida about 6-7 months ago with an asking price of $1300, but haven't seen anything that low since... I've seen a couple of posts in the past where the production was figured at 1500 machines. Cheap fun game, it's going to be staying at our house for awhile!
Quoted from Taxman:I remember reading about one of the mechs being an issue and unobtainium. Of course that was many years ago when replacement parts were rare for anything. What goes wrong? The Warrior goes back and forth on a big plastic worm gear to block the multiball hole. I wonder what the parts are that you can't get.
The part that is the hardest to find if you need it is the stepper motor that drives the Warrior bug back and forth. I'm not sure if anyone has found a suitable replacement model as the factory stock appears to be gone. Just keep the Warrior bug going back and forth smoothly on the rails and hopefully there shouldn't be any issues!
There is an SST pinball club group that has lots of great info and links on speaker upgrades, fixes, mod stuff, etc, ...the usual cool helpful stuff you can find on pinside!
It's awesome that you have 2 Dina Meyers games! I've been looking for the second one but haven't seen much locally...
Enjoy your SST!!
Quoted from F3TT:@taxman I thought he was talking about the Warrior. The other one is the pop up brain bug. I didn't test that, but from strategy guides I've read, it's real risky to shoot at for points you get from it. Where is the hopper and what does it do?
The only 2 things that move on the playfield are the Warrior and the Brain Bug. Lots of other fixed cool looking toys on the game that could possibly get modded (lights), but I haven't done anything with mine (yet!).
