Thrilled to join the Skateball club yesterday! I picked this up semi-locally. it was about an hour drive each way on the interstate. My wife even came along for the adventure.

It's been sitting for many years and will need a lot of work. It has the typical playfield wear, and it looks like someone may have done some touch-up work at some point. The inside of the cabinent is filthy and there's some corrosion and rust on some hardware that I wasn't expecting to find. I think it sat outside/exposed to the elements for a period of time.

The cabinent and plastics are good. MPU has some pretty heavy battery damage and supposedly doesn't boot. I didn't even bother trying based on the damage. I'm still debating about rebuilding or just replacing. I know there's the Alltek Ultimate MPU and then there's the NVRAM (Pinball Electronics from barakandl) version for $30 less. Any thoughts? If I go the replacement route (which I'm leaning towards), is one better than the other? They both support all of the games and have freeplay, which is a nice addition.
