I'm trying to pair down from 5 machines to 4. I'm listing 3 machines that I have fully restored, hoping to sell 2 so I can bring in another. I'm including the full BOM for the restoration to show what went into it.
I have my doubts that this machine is going to sell because of the price, and I'm okay with that. It is nicer than 99.9% of other Meteors out there (or at least 8353 of them), which means it doesn't compare well with others previously sold. It has been updated with a new Arduino controller that brings new rules, audio call outs, and music with 2.1 channel sound. This new rule set adds objectives and wizard modes to bring out a new level of play on this classic machine. The rule set can even be toggled by a single switch inside the coin door so the original code can still be enjoyed. The sound system is installed in such a manner that it can't be seen from outside the machine, keeping the classic appearance. You can even change out the music and sounds easily to make the machine your own.
The cabinet has been been completely stripped, sanded, all dents filled and corners repaired, repainted with Pinball Pimp stencils, and covered with 2 coats of clear. The coin door has been stripped and repainted, with new decals and coin mechanisms reinstalled, and features a credit button for free play and a thumb lock.
The playfield has been replaced with a beautiful CPR replacement, and now plays extremely fast. The back glass and plastics are also CPR replacements, and are flawless. The apron has been powder coated with new decals applied. The back glass trim was also powder coated.
Also replaced:
- New posts with silicone playfield protectors
- Titan silicone rubbers all around.
- New custom playfield side rails
- New playfield glass
- New hot stamped drop targets
- Completely new flipper assemblies
- New pop bumper caps, bodies, skirts
- New legs, bolts and levelers
- New Mantis lockdown receiver
- New stainless cabinet side rails
- New Rectifier board
- New brite buttons RGB flipper buttons
- All new Alltek boards (MPU, Solenoid Driver Board, and Lamp Board)
- Leds throughout including trough light
- New Pinscore LED displays (no more high voltage needed)
The troublesome pressed connector lamp boards have been changed out with more reliable and easier to service PCBs with twist sockets. All connectors have been recrimped with new terminals.
