Space Shuttle
Williams, 1984Hello, does anyone have an extra or unused Space Shuttle toy they'd sell? One on ePay is $49.99 + $10.00 shipping. MAD has one for $46.00 + ship, just seems a little pricey for a thin plastic shell. Considering making one like Ed Cheung did, others have suggested buying a model or something like that buy I'd rather have something more like the actual part considering the internal switch, etc... If not, I may just have to shell out the $60. This hobby ain't cheap after all 
BAA has them minus the internal switch. $49 seems to be the going price. Good luck finding a used one in good condition that isn't all yellowed up with flaking decals.

I have a "spare" that I won't be using....there's a catch though....
It's not an official reproduction, so the shape isn't 100% accurate. It's signed by Steve Ritchie, along the spine of the ship, and it's not going to have switch, mounting brackets, rivets etc. just like the official one. It's got holes for the wire gate, and it's already decal'ed. Can post a pic if you're really THAT interested in saving a few bucks, but it's not going to be like 10$ or anything. 
Thinking probably more like 30+shipping.
Keep in mind when you buy it from Pinball Inc, you're getting a thicker, more durable toy than the original, and you're also paying for the decals. Look up some prices on random pinball decals and you'll see just how much of the price that is.

This looks like the best option and definitely looks to be more substantial than the others. The more I work on this thing, the better I want it to look. I did manage to find a good used one from a fellow Pinsider that looks pretty good. Just may have to buy a new one at some point.
I appreciate the responses!
It's worth mentioning that the ship that BAA sells is the one from Pinball Inc (BAA is an official distributor) so either way you are getting something durable that you shouldn't have to worry about ever again.
I have no problem recommending anything that James sells He makes the plastics the way they should have been made in the first place.

Erozens the toy in that pic doesn't look bad at all. A little cleaning and maybe a decal set otherwise it looks great. Is this your first Space Shuttle machine and have you played it yet? If not you're in for a fun ride!
Yes, this is my first Space Shuttle. When I first got it, it wasn't working at all. I took the boards to the local repair guy and he got it working but I'm still having sound issues. From what he says everything worked great on his test fixture but I'm still having problems with it. I get a constant loud hum but I can hear the sounds in the background. I have ensured all screws are in place anchoring the boards to the backbox and confirmed everything is hooked to the grounding braid. In the meantime I've started removing everything from the playfield for a good cleaning. I initially bought the game to fix and sell but I think I will keep it in my collection. I'm slowly accumulating parts for it and trying to fix the annoying sound issue. It has really grown on me and I can't wait to have it all cleaned up and get to play it!
If you have already made sure all boards are secured tight in the backbox you may want to change out the caps in the power supply as you may be getting some AC interference that is causing the hum, the big cap in the bottom of the backbox may need changing as well. Nice PF she's gonna be a beauty indeed!
