So I saw this CL group listing (along with Black Hole, Big Game, Counter Force, Lazer War, & Time Warp) for a 1984 Williams Star Light. I knew nothing about the game but realized it was rare - 1 in a 100 rare. So of course I took the plunge.
It took 3 strong guys to air-lift the machine above our heads to get it over the hoarders collection of fine collectables. I could've had any of the above listed machines for the same price, as he figured they were all about the same (except Haunted House, which was not for sale and his wife's favorite) year and condition.
Now what?
Do nothing but enjoy it?
Sell it and buy my wife some shoes?
Send the playfield off to Kruzman and start the extensive rehab?
Trade it?
BTW: I haven't even plugged it in as the sellers lair had no electricity like his multiple "out buildings filled with EM's.
I'd appreciate any stories about playing this pin or advice on how you'd handle it.

Wow! So collectors want them as they find them with original patina...
Nice!
That just enabled my laziness

I was just looking again at that "cicadan astromancer" and the little platform he's on. On the right side of the wooden carving under the telescope, I do believe I spy Barry Oursler's initials...

Yes. I just made up the phrase: cicadan astromancer
That bug should get his own pin like Jack Bot

Star Light is working 100% now and wildly addictive. I took Vids advice by the way

My son says the lighting sequence for multiball is "epic" and he's right.
The whole machine goes dark except for the wizard/sorcerer's face. The only light is the intense strobing behind his face. Then that slows & dims and as the 2nd ball is being released, the GI and backglass light turn back on as you fight for your multiball life
