This place has really upped their game recently. New owner is very into pinball, and the games are getting regularly maintained. Currently, about 20 games are now in an outpost. Games in this outpost are generally much better maintained than upstairs. Plan is for many more to enter this area as well. New sterns are insider connected.

Quite a few of these I have or perhaps still will work on in the future. Many share the common problems usually connection problems, Really old Williams games share the problem with logic of the thumpers causing blown coils, driver transistors and sometimes the logic chips that drive them. Modern replacement logic boards solve a LOT of problems with these older games. Wumpf for Gottlieb and so on, bring much better action and reliability to them. Modern display replacements, and now LED lamps also give all the great new looks to games of the past.
I just wish the led bulbs were lower cost, but they alone will add great life to a game, in less maintainance and less ppwer consumption and heat, which all technicians know is the number 1 cause of component failures.
