    Well sort of...

    Inspired from SteveinTexas amazing epic resurrection of an orphaned lower cab and misplace head. Seen here:

    I also married up a classic Pitch and Bat head and cab from separate parts of the country. Unfortunately my story isn't nearly as interesting. I don't have the skill set or patience to work through this one. It has a few challenges that could be worked out with enough grey matter. Aside from needing some cosmetic upgrades this one is also missing 4 relays on the mech panel. All related to replays it seems. I also found two cut wires in the head. Not sure where they lead. Anyway, I've decide to put it up for sale but thought it was worth posting as it's always interesting (to me at least) when you can reunite a couple parts machines into one again.

    Thread moved to Flipperless sub-forum, as it is not a Pinball.

    Hi Alex,

    This game is the two player and is great to play. I believe this is the game that the Silverball Museum has in Asbury Park,NJ. My son an I had some fun playing one last year or one like it.

    Sorry to see you aren't going to do the restore. I know you know how long it can take, so your heart needs to be 100% in it. Parts should be able to be found if someone is interested.

    Its a good project for someone that wants a fun game and has someone to play it with them. Its a change from a pinball that's fun and visitors play my pitch and bat almost non stop!

    Hi Steve,
    I don't think it should be too bad. If I didn't have a real nice 4 Bagger I'd dive in anyway. This one is heavier on features.

    Considering I'm not great with schematics though, patching in missing relays may be a bit more challenge than I like. I kind of feel like it might even work without them. It looks like the previous owner was trying to turn it into the non-replay version. Leaving it hacked though just doesn't do it justice. It deserves the full treatment.
