Thanks for all the great tips. I went to check out the machine and it is now sitting in my basement. The playfield is in great condition (it seems to have full factory mylar on both playfields). There is obviously Sanctum wear - somebody put down what looks like a 2” x 1” metal “cliffy” between the Sanctum text and the insert. I won’t try to remove it until I’m ready to do the repair, but I haven’t seen anything like this on any Shadow photos I’ve seen.
The right diverter sort of “vibrates” when it hits either stopping point - seems like there is some play in the actuator that I need to look at.
Did all Shadow’s come with factory mylar? I’m planning on removing it completely from both playfields when I do a full tear down. I’ll put mylar (one or two layers) in front of the Sanctum once I’ve done that repair - otherwise I don’t see a need for full playfield coverage in a home environment.
The cabinet is in fair condition but the backbox sides are pretty beat up. The machine came with a full set of cabinet decals and I’ll likely tackle that project at some point.
Battlefield seems to work well and the shroud is in good condition. All plastics seem intact and saucer holes don’t have any wear. Boards have matching serial numbers and the batteries have been moved off board. One of the GI headers has been replaced.
The first thing I need to do is to yank out the Clown Puke GI LEDs - I’m not kidding when I say the in lanes have one purple and one blue LED each, and the sling above it has orange. How anybody could think this looks good astounds me. I’ll eventually put in an LED OCD and will go with either Comet Sunlight or Warm White GI.
