Just picked up a nice functional Star-Jet. Just a few minor things to fix for it to be in fully working condition. One thing I am doing now is replacing all of these rusty lamp sockets on the playfield (which keeps burning out 10amp fuses). Also, the multiball function is not working - balls lock, but won't unlock (kicker not kicking). Cosmetics are pretty good for such a rare bird.

Quoted from Mopar:

Nice pick up! Good player when playing a 2 player game..

Thanks for the pic, just got the schematic in the mail today! Now I need to find the relays. Any chance you have a guide to where they are in the cabinet? My Williams machine has a Workshop Manual that I found (helps a lot). Anything like that for Bally machines?

Quoted from Mopar:

Your bottom board is missing it's Relay Labels? How about the Head's?
I believe most if not all of mine are there. If that's what you'd like, I can
take pics tomorrow..

Inside the cabinet the labels are covered in dirt. Even if they weren’t, they are so close together that they are hard to read. Trying to make myself a reference chart so I can track down the kicker and target relays. Photos would help!

Quoted from meSz:

A lot of these are on Inkochnito site and if they're not you can send the pictures to him along with the measurements of the card/strips and he will make them up and add them to his site.

Using the info from "MOPAR" I was able to make up a relay map. This is what I needed.

Quoted from aahgo:

Good to see another Star Jet survived. Is the Playfield really bad, or is there just schmutz on the top glass? More pics, please.

By your command....

Cabinet has some structural issues and the head needs to be rebuilt. Game plays OK, just minor things to fix.

Quoted from aahgo:

It was more of a request.... I said please
Thanks for posting these.
Too bad the PF has so much paint loss, that will tough to bring back. Beyond my skills anyway. If you do decide to do some restoration, PBR should have the correct bumper caps and target faces. Shay made a repro BG a few years ago, but I don't know if there any available anywhere. I think a lot of people bought these for display, since the artwork is so iconic. Let me know if I can help.

Thanks. I am already on it. I ordered the correct bumper caps (on the way) and fixed the playfield short - had to replace all of the rusty lamp sockets. I know the BG is available, but don't want to spend too much on this one in case I decide to sell it or partial trade for the tropical theme games I am into - Paradise , Hula-Hula , Tropic Isle , Hawaiian Beauty , Hawaiian Isle , etc.
