Very Nice!
Is there a cool story to go with the find, or just collector to collector?

That pretty cool!
If everything is there except the boards please keep it intact, obviously you never know when something will pop up!
If you ever need to make room sell it to someone else who can hold onto it.

The gentleman with the boardless Star Shooter has put it up for dale in the marketplace for $200

JEEBUS that looks nice!
Well done, you've extended the life of that game a generation!

I know people have been 3D printing pinball parts files from thingiverse, perhaps someone here on pinside could start printing/producing NLA cocktail parts.

Wow, that playfield cleaned up NICE!
(no idea on the board issues)

Isn't John's Jukes in Canada still the only place that repairs cocktail boards?
20 years ago I sent my Eros One boards to him for repair, took a month or so.

Sadly I remember it being around $100-ish, plus shipping, 20 years ago. They worked when I got them back, but if I tightened down the mpu board all the way it'd get flakey, meaning there was a small cracked trace somewhere. I just loosened up the mounting screws and it worked fine while I had it, I stupidly sold the Eros with all my games in my first "purge".

Funny footnote- 9 years ago bought a Hercules with some friends for $300, worked all the way but had no shooter rod. Only one person in North America had one for sale, for $100, and he was in Canada

Did you explain to the kids who Roy Clark was yet?

You gotta wonder just how that licensing even came about.
Here's a SMOOOOTH intro by Johnny Cash of Roy tearin' it up, and he's even wearing the same outfit from the pin!

I can't believe none of the parts suppliers have ever stepped up and made repro parts for cocktails.
It seems like the games have been falling out of trees the past year, and we're all addicted enough to replace working yellowed parts with new white ones.

I also regret selling my Eros One I bought and sold in the early 2000's, and also sent all my boards to Johns Jukes.
Everything worked when I got them back, but one of the displays was flakey. I started to loosen the mounting screws to remove it and it started working fine. So the board likely had a cracked trace somewhere, and was flexing open when tightened down. It worked so I never tracked down the problem, but pushing on or loosening the mounting screws of circuit boards has been a troubleshooting technique ever since

Wow! Good to see their are still some buried treasures out in the wild.

To get an accurate playfield image for a re-theme you'd have to take out the F.L. playfield and remove everything from the top, and anything sticking through from the bottom, then scanning the pf yourself or take it to a print shop to scan. Then in photoshop or illustrator draw your new theme. Then print out a decal and apply to plexi like the 'hard tops' people make now, lotsa work.
Sounds like you spent some time restoring it, and since all cocktails can be finicky and die without warning I'd prob'ly leave it as is

I re-themed a Rapid Fire into a 300 based on the movie and it was a b*tch. Even with the pf art being a translite between a plexi cover and wood 'light holes/playfield'. Finished it just in time for an arcade/pinball show in Miami, unexpectedly sold it there, and never saw it again

Someone that played mine had a great idea I should have done. Wire the coin door tilt switch as the start button so you have to yell "THIS...IS...SPARTA !!!" and kick the coin door to start a game.

I'd happily send you any finished files I used for the game, but they'll only fit a Rapid Fire.
Some files might just be a flat image without layers.

I think I've heard Hyperball is a reliable game, Rapid Fire's launching gun overheating is a common problem.

Saw this on rec.games.pinball in case anyone needs parts.....

NICE! Are they 3D printed transparent?

FYI This gentleman now has this listed for sale in it's own thread for $1400, looks nice!

Congrats!
Do it boot?

IMHO when you went back in time you should have grabbed the Sports Almanac instead of that, but nice score nonetheless...

Boy, cocktails have been MIA lately here, congrats on the EO, I miss mine
Good advice above, but if you can't get it running you might have to send the boards to John's Jukes in Canada.
That's what I did (20 years ago!), it took a month to get them back but they all worked.

Good to know there's someone south of the CAN boarder who can fix these boards for people!
(if you DO fix other people's boards)

No, just less cost/forms/hassles.
20 years ago I was planning to move to Canada, but other things got in the way...

BAH! Cincinnati's a big city, Brother!
There are likely dozens of pinball people there in town who are good peeps and would give you a hand.
(ONCE, at least, just buy them lunch/beer)

MM

I still miss mine I sold 20 years ago. You did a nice job with the leds if that's what you used.
