I'm mentally hugging this one.

I picked up "The Games" for very cheap. So I open up the pf once home to check on things, and there's a burnt coil. Ok, fine. And then I see the fuse situation. Going to have fun cleaning this one up. But the boards in the head are spotless. So there's that. I get the impression the PF glass hadn't been removed in a very long time. The dried shrivelled playfield rubbers said the same. The plastics however are really clean and flat. Odd.

No waiting or shipping charge.
this is what I wanted if possible
Quoted from tomdrum:PBR with your next order.
Yep, I enjoyed a chat with Steve. No local place has those slo-blo fuses.
Quoted from Billc479:MtnFrost - One that needs a lot of help!
The pinball doctor is in the house.
Quoted from ForceFlow:The Games--I had two of those pass through my hands. Both had cab issues too. Someone added angle brackets to one of them, and drywall screws to the other to hold the backboxes together.
Yeah, that thin backbox gives it away. The gameplay isn't bad, but the audio and art are severely lacking. It's getting rethemed.
My example arrived with the head on and upright in the back of a pickup, but NO support for the head to keep it from rocking back and forth, slowly destroying the bottom of the head....it's in surgery right now, should be fine.
Quoted from ForceFlow:Yes, there is pink, along with the other primary wiring colors.
Those being: pink, light pink, dark pink, peach pink, and dusky rose.
(only kidding)
Quoted from mbwalker:'Homeless' parts laying in the bottom of the cabinet...clueless where they go. Sometimes true even on a new pin.
Let’s not forget broken plastics.
Quoted from ryanbrooks:Seriously?!?!?!?! If we’re gonna ban flavored cigarettes and cigars, let’s ban fucking duct tape also (you should only be able to buy it if you have an HVAC license-just like refrigerant). I suppose it’s best that I don’t actually see people doing stupid Shit like this first hand…I’m tired of the “Ryan, how many times have you been to jail?” And other lame bullshit questions/convos
[quoted image]
cigarettes and cigars cause cancer for you and those who get inflicted with having to breathe second hand smoke. Duct tape used for pinball repairs is just annoying, but it won't kill you. I think we need a better analogy. But it is pretty stupid.
Quoted from ajfclark:I love the fact that drops can be used to change the flow of shots. Like the single drop at the end of the right orbit on STTNG or the one in front of the ramp on Space Station, or, or, or. Stand ups can't do that.
Agreed that drop targets are almost a must for a full, classic era feel. By classic, I mean early SS.
Quoted from ajfclark:Not necessarily. It can be a design choice to only use standup targets too. Think of things like Firepower. That game would be slower and less exciting with drops.
Wasn't Firepower designed with drop targets, which they changed before production? I know I've seen them retrofitted back into the game.
