Figured I'd ask here to get the most knowledgeable answer. I'm thinking about bringing the project STTNG pin in the marketplace back to life : https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/78268 STTNG has been on my list for awhile, but I can't justify the price they are currently going for.
From the pictures and descriptions, it looks like it needs
1) complete set of plastics
2) probably a new cpu or have the cpu repaired
3) new cannon plastics
4) Coin door and handle need to be stripped and repainted
5) ramp flap
The only things that really concern me is the rust/corrosion I'm seeing and the fact it doesn't boot. I assume it's the cpu from the batteries leaking. The positive is that it looks like it has a really solid albeit dirty playfield. In yall's experience with this pin, is the one a good restore candidate without breaking the bank?
