Just joined the club (again...long story) and got a pretty good machine. However, the playfield is roached, so I need to look for a new one.

Has anyone had good luck with the Hard Tops? Or if you are willing, perhaps you bought a hard top and just went with the CPR fields and would like to sell the hard top?

Thank you.

And yes, someone modded the machine with Christmas lights for the tube. I guess I need to also post this in the "hacks" thread...

Thank you for posting that! I am considering doing a Hard Top for my Xenon, so ordering them was a no brainer.

Of course, if anyone has an extra CPR that they would like to sell, I would like to chat with them!

Question for the group: I have an early model machine (with the Bally Survey envelopes and a "marked up" manual for the game with hand written changes. Certainly early in the production.)

I'm swapping the playfield with a new CPR, but the posts are all Clear. Not the Xenon Concentric Blue posts.

The flyer has all Blue (with the hidden Red one, I know), so is there anyone that has seen Clears on this machine as stock?

It's not a big deal (Clear vs. Blue) but was curious as to why every post is different?

You know, they just might slightly pink. I have subtle color blindness and this might have bypassed my filters.

I give. How could royal blue fade to light pink? That's a good one.

The serial number is 1008

Ok thanks to everyone! I might go all in on the blues. I have a bunch of extra reds, but may restore this to "the flyer spec."

The hint of the smaller size is also good. I appreciate that!

The playfield is easy. I acquired a new CPR from a fellow Pinsider for a PF swap! Thanks for asking about that one.

The game was stored for decades inside a storage facility. This might be why the posts faded. Years of thermal cycling probably did it. Backbox and cabinet look pretty darn good for its age. The original operator had it on route, then pulled it to storage. Pretty much untouched for quite a long time.

The survey is technically the Bally Test Game Report that you fold into an envelope form. My mistake in calling it a survey.
Hand written notes on the separate paper would indicate to me that the manual was just not in final form. Or maybe it is, but there is a lot of setting information here.

Original Warranty card, slingshot mylar, and all the apron cards still there. Pictures are posted.

I have owned a Xenon in the past, so I guess I need to see the original pf if there are any differences. I do know that the middle of the original is blown out like so many fields of that era. I did get an extra used pf because I was going to do a hardtop, but then the CPR came up.

So I will have two extra used playfields in case anyone needs to do their hardtop!

And I'm not the first to show the Bally Test Game Reports. It was asked about in this thread:
