Rare title! Welcome to the forum. Gosh, no idea. Your best (probably also only) option would be to get a backglass scan and make a translite.

Always wanted to play one of these. I like the art.

Good luck with your search and restore

Game Plan games, for whatever reason, don’t seem to go for a ton, when they are listed, which in and of itself is uncommon.

Agents 777 around where I am would probably go for a respectable amount of money.

I know of one here in New England, was at one of our pinball shows last year.

As far as making a translite, it’s easy. About $40~ without shipping. Definitely keep the search going!

Rare doesn't mean valuable. In fact, in pinball, rare usually means that the game wasn't particularly good, so they didn't make a lot or few survived. There are exceptions to that though-- I have played agent 777 and I think it's a lot of fun.

bgresto.com but they'd need a glass to work from.

Try Mayfair amusements to see if they have the glass (call don't bother with email).

Since you're close to them try TNT amusements as well although that would be a longshot.

I would look into classicplayfields.com. They recently launched a new platform that allows for printing pretty much any kind of custom artwork including backglasses fairly quickly as long as you have a digital image file.

My Agents 777 backglass is bad, too. Paint is peeling off on the left side. I'll be watching to see what you do about yours. Here's a picture of my game:

Fun table with a very rare and hard to find MPU. Hopefully yours works. If it does and still has a battery soldered onto the board, CUT IT OFF NOW!!!!!

Yes. That board is around 30 or so years old, as is the battery. I can't tell you how many I have seen that have leaked and nearly or completely destroyed the board. If it is still there, cut it off right now, then replace it with a battery pack that is off the board.

Do not put this off - absolutely do this ASAP. Game Plan boards are essentially unobtainable.

Echo Lake is no longer making replacements?
I couldn't really find anything current about it but they used to make them.... are they defunct?

There's a list for a new run. I don't know how to link it so here's some pics.

New run!? Good to know.

But it's 5 years ago??

Last post was 14 days ago so contact that guy and see if it's for real. I'm good mine is a replacement. I know a guy who can fix them if anyone needs repairs.

If NVRAM is an option, it's the best way to go.

If there's no NVRAM for that board, the *type* of battery doesn't matter, only the voltage-- what does the schematic or manual say about the battery?

It looks like the game uses the battery for saving high scores, audits, and credits in machine. If you don't need it to save any of that stuff, you can continue simply using the game as-is.

If you want to replace the battery: what i use in my game is a 1.5F/5.5v memory capacitor, bought from Great Plains Electronics here: https://www.greatplainselectronics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=CERS-1.5F-5V

You'll need to solder a wire to each of the 2 terminals on the capacitor and solder them onto the pads where the battery was soldered. Note the capacitor is electrolytic, and has a + and - side. You want to be sure to connect the + terminal to the + battery terminal on the board, then the - terminal of the cap to the - battery terminal on the board. Then you can use hot glue or something to fasten it to the empty spot on the board where the battery was. Thought this isn't from my sharpshooter, I'll include this for a visual reference: IMG_20200203_160331.jpg

One caveat: memory caps need to charge up for a while (the game needs to be on for a couple hours) before they start keeping memory, and once working will continue to work as long as the game is turned on periodically (every couple months or so)

As others noted, NVRAM is another good option, but I'm not sure if it's available for Game Plan games (they might be though)...

Good luck! Very cool game, i hope to play one someday

Here are all the owners of agents 777 on pinside. Try to message one or all of them and see if they can help you out.

Just bring up your game on pinside. Then click on the owners tab, then scroll down and it will show all the owners of the game.

I would recommend replacing that capacitor, its good practice on any Game Plan machine. That could very well be the cause of your issue. Where are you located?

I would also look at the connectors on the power supply and driver board. They are not very high quality and can cause problems like you describe.

Nice job!

It looks fantastic! Well done, enjoy it!

Wow, great job! Did you make the translite? I would buy one from you if you can make an extra!!!

Thanks, Fabrizio ! I should try a translite from them. My backglass art is falling apart on the left side.

We cut off the battery and haven't replaced it with anything yet. The capacitor that frunch mentioned looks good. Without it, the game starts up with credits on it and no scores displayed. When you start a game, the scores all appear, and it will keep the high scores until you turn it off. That works fine for now.
Your playfield looks nice, too! Mine is worn around the slot machine in the middle, but it doesn't look too hard to touch up because a lot of it is black. I like the big "Jackpot" when you get 777!
I like the weird sounds of the game. Very 80s, a little bit like a Williams but more "goofy".
400 units made, it's a pretty rare game! Ours is the only one I've ever seen or played.
We will keep ours unless someone really has to have it for their Game Plan collection to be complete. But it'll cost ya.

Just played our Agents 777 and took a half decent picture. You can see how our backglass is falling apart. Fabrizio, I got a translite from Game On Grafix and it looks good! Haven't put it on yet, though. Fun game!

Looking for an Agents777 instruction card. If someone could see a pic of one it sure would be appreciated. Thanks, Darrell
