The EM seeking parts thread.

Quoted from JoeGrenuk:
I have a Surf Champ, complete game. Have tried to sell it, no success, shipping always kills the deal. I figure the game is worth $625 or so, and looking at the game, it is probably worth around or more than that number parted out. The glass is pretty nice; the lockdown bar is very nice, the door is straight and nice, the playfield is way better than most, apron is great, arch is great, plastics and bodies and caps and drop targets are good, the KS and FS relays are there, and I think the legs are new. Plus lots of score reels , and the pops, flipper and sling and drop target assemblies.
Link to pics of the game http://s298.photobucket.com/user/jgrenuk/library/SurfChamp?sort=2&page=1
If you are interested in the game, LMK. If you are interested in parts, LMK what you are looking for. Game is on the east coast of central Florida.
And please, let's not go down the "this is a travesty, it doesn't deserve this, save the game" road. If you want me to save the game, send me $625

wow! that is way above average condition. if you sold it for an even 500 i would consider shipping it at around 345. that would make it a 850ish game to me.

what would you pay for a nice one? i have been offered a complete not working Bowling queen for 200(bg looks like an easy 8 maybe better) but i am jam packed and i will be restoring a 14' ball baller soon so i don't want to pull the trigger on a good cheap game due to space. i refuse to spend 100+ a month on a storage unit. i could get if you twist my arm.....

Looking for drop targets used in Big Deal and Hot Tip (Williams), one is stuck and broken.
This makes the game (Hot Tip) impossible to play.
Need one, but could use more, I have both machines in my posession.

I had a couple broken plastics like that on Pro Football. Get a sheet of 0.060 lexan trace out and cut it. You can't see the broken piece and it protects the plastic. I ended up making plastic protectors for the entire game . If you can make the lexan just a tad bigger. I plan thru time to make protectors with lexan for all my machines. Take ur time cutting you get better as you do it

Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a shot as well. What are you cutting it with? And do you do any edge treatment after cutting?

The camera shows the lexan more than it really looks. When playing you can't tell. It's not perfect but it protects the broken plastic and will protect the good ones. Everything on this pro football has it. I use a scroll saw they are pretty cheap under 100 bucks at Harbor Freight but I plan on doing all my machines with time.should never have to worry about breaking a plastic. The trick is to make the lexan just a tad bigger so the ball would hit that. It takes alittle practice but what I cut I put on i didn't try to make it perfect. I had 3 broken plastics on this game and I couldn't get a repro set. You can't tell not unless your a Pinball expert looking for things

You can also put the broken plastic on top of the lexan just make the lexan a very tiny bit larger but I liked the lexan on top but make a piece and try it both ways

Thanks, I'll give it a shot, already have a scroll saw, may try it with the band saw too, but probably can't do the small radius with that.

if you use a dremel sanding drum and clean up the edges then flame polish the edge they really come out good. you did the hard part now you just need to finish it.

Or even a sanding drum you can chuck into your drill gun. Like this kit:

I would bet that a bath in Evaporust & a fresh coat of paint would be all it needs. How nasty can it be?

It's pretty bad I think the damage would show after it was stripped and painted but I will go that route if one doesn't turn up.

Agree, Bondo or maybe a few coats of primer sanded flat between coats - depending on how deep the pits are.

Unless of course it's rusted clean thru

I found a nice replacement as much as I would have liked to attempt to restore the original I'm limited on time and space so I have to focus on the mechanical side as much as possible.

Where do you get a Bally repro Bell Clapper? I only saw PBR with the Gottlieb and Williams one and they are totally different and will not work.
