Up for sale: Blackout pinball machine (Williams 1980).
The machine is in pretty good shape overall, especially considering its age. All playfield lights have been upgraded to LEDs. Playfield is clean and legible (has two small worn spots next to slingshots / see pix). Backglass is in good shape with just a few areas the coating has been chipped off (see pix). All switches and targets are working, except as described below. Interior is clean. Comes with original manual.
They are a few minor hardware issues:
1) The right inlane switch isn’t registering.
2) The 2p / 3p / 4p score displays are wavering due to age, so I just unplugged them since I’m the only one who plays it. Replacements can be ordered for them for pinball supply sites, if desired. Also, the credit and match displays are starting to waver.
3) It has a habit of resetting sometimes when both flippers are pressed at once. I’ve done some research and apparently all that’s needed to solve this issues are new diodes for the flippers (??). I even have the parts needed (see pix); I just don’t know how to solder and don’t have time to learn. Should be an easy fix for someone with more experience servicing pinball machines.
If desired, I can take off the legs and fold down the backglass for transit. Also, I’ve unhooked the plumb bob on the tilt sensor because I wanted to practice my saves (it can be reconnected if desired).
Here are some videos of the machine if you're interested:

The machine can be pickup up and paid for locally in Grants Pass, OR. I'm also planning to attend the Golden State pinball show in Lodi, CA on May 19th and 20th. If you're also planning to attend and you can bring a truck or other suitable vehicle, we could meet up there and you wouldn't have to pay for shipping.
Alternately, the buyer can arrange shipping at their expense / risk. If shipping, payment must be made in advance via an escrow transaction (via escrow.com or safefunds.com) if we can agree on the terms. I would also consider a wire transfer payment from an established dealer with good feedback.
