It is a great game. I would do it for that cost but you are correct. The glass is going to cost you a lot to get there.

Make sure the Cyclone ramp and the ferris wheel return ramp are ok.
Most of these came with translites. I don't know of any retailers selling those but Marco claims to have a NOS backglass for sale here: http://www.marcospecialties.com/control/keywordsearch?SEARCH_STRING=cyclone&S_CAT1=CABP-BG

Very pricey.

I would think you could get LED displays if the display is shot.

Good luck. That game is an absolute classic.

And lift the playfield and inspect the spook house ramp. Often cracked.

Buy it. It's a great, fun game. If you don't find a new backglass then you can try to have one made locally from a good photo.. New displays are also available.

Awesome for you my friend. It is one of my holy grail pins. I'm waiting to find a nice one
in NYC. I love the entire package. Enjoy!

Excellent score. Cyclone's a really fun game and has some classic sfx and callouts. "Ride the ferris wheel!"

Speaking of the ferris wheel, make sure it has the actual silicone belt (Marco has 'em for like 5 bux) and not a playfield rubber, as is a common hack. they stretch and will fail.

Your Pinside collection isn't updated yet, Cyclone and Fish Tales buddy

Nice grab. Make sure you look at the people in the crowd on the field. Not sure if everything will translate there but they put a lot of funny stuff in there.

Mr. T, the Coneheads to name a couple gags placed in there.

Also, as I heard it told, the cow butts on the carousel in the center may be the origin of the "hidden cow" as an in-joke amongst pinball designers. Supposedly Python was having trouble drawing a convincing cow from the top and hid them under the mechanism that operates the carousel. Again, this may or may not be true, can anyone confirm/deny? Is there an instance of a hidden cow before Jan. 1988?
