Very excited to join the group. I’ve been holding out for a very nice example and while I sort of lost hope of finding one, I got one yesterday and think it was worth the wait! Basically new out of box.
This one has a December 2003 born-on date, has a playfield full of character toys, and has a yellow level (learned that when I ordered cliffy’s), so I think that means I have an early version. Still all original incandescent lighting, beautiful game!
The only thing that does not work is the light in the Balrog. Haven’t gone through the thousands of posts yet but will, I’m sure info exists. My first move is to put Cliffy’s on to protect the playfield, and is there something I need to put on the plastic where it drops down from the path of the dead?
Anything I need to know about re: boards, mechs, or fixes needed on the early ones? And what’s the story why do the early ones come with all the characters on the playfield and the later ones don’t?
I’d normally expect a game this old to have LED replacements, but it’s actually cool to see the originals. Any suggestions on LED’s and do they strobe and need OCD boards?
Lots for me to get caught up on, any thoughts appreciated!
