FS/FT is a functional Whirlwind project. I had plans to do a full restore on this (because everyone named wxforecaster needs a gorgeous Whirlwind!), but I simply don't have time in the coming months.
Asking what I feel is a very fair $3300, or available in trade for something on my profile collection wishlist.
It is a fully playing "project" machine. As a meteorologist, I'm interested in acquiring a beautiful keeper example, and this isn't it. I just don't have time to restore it.
The photos should show the game well, but I'd like to highlight a few noteworthy needs.
1.) A number of broken plastics, but as you can see in the photos, I have a full set which are either used, great condition replacements or new-old-stock in several cases.
2.) Needs a re-rubber/shop out, which I would certainly tackle while doing #1
3.) The flap ramp sometimes does not drop. I haven't had a chance to take the assembly apart and compare it against the manual to see if everything is correct. The previous owner noted this, so it's possible someone did something out of order. The switch and coil function correctly. It raises without issue.
4.) The bottom display has the lower left and lower right diagonals missing. I've played some very long games and did not notice where these are ever used, but I'm noting it here. I have a spare display from which one could borrow the bad chip.
5.) The topper fan is functional, but missing the front grill. Just noting this as I don't know any 6-7' tall people sticking their hands in toppers mid-game :)
Game is fully LED'd with COMET non-ghosting. Upper right flipper rebuilt. Cabinet is above average, including the sought after raised W lettering coin door.
