This is a very rare WPC version of Bally's "Dr Dude" pinball machine. Only about 100 were made with the WPC processor, which is why this machine has the blue apron instead of the standard white. This one was discovered in a storage unit and required a little bit of work to bring back to life, but all in all, it's a super clean example of this title with limited wear.
Boards:
New Rottendog MPU due to battery damage on the original. Works 100%, never a problem. Everything else is original and works perfectly.
Mechanics:
I installed brand new flipper mechanisms, not just a flipper rebuild. The drop target reset and VUK have been rebuilt. The big shot mechanism was rebuilt.
Lighting:
This machine has Comet 2SMD lighting throughout, added matrix light strips, LED flashers throughout, apron and backboard LED strips. The flipper buttons are lit with flashing green/red/yellow LED's to match the mixmaster color scheme. The plunger spring is similarly lighted with flashing green/red/yellow LED's. A spotlight was added to brighten the area above the flippers.
Playfield:
The mylar was removed, everything was removed from the top and a full playfield protector was installed. It looks great and plays better. Cliffy protectors were installed on either side of the main ramp entrance. All metal ball guides were removed and polished. New clear Titan rubbers and new orange post sleeves were installed. The Mixmaster has all new decals. The often missing "Big Shot" figure is in place. It has all new slingshot plastics and clear slingshot protectors, new flippers. Custom score cards.
Cabinet:
Looks pretty good, with only a few touchups. The coin door was removed, disassembled, cleaned, painted and reinstalled. The lockdown bar is fairly pristine. The legs are nice and shiny and look new. I added a custom image to the coin return buttons. Mylar side blades were added to the inside of the cabinet to reflect the playfield lighting, and are removable.
Sound:
It's currently connected to a subwoofer. I will leave the wiring for this in case you want to hook up your own.
Backglass:
All original and in great shape. The 3-D areas still work great as you change your viewing angle.
Here's a quick video of the game in attract mode with the subwoofer connected:

I prefer a straight sale but I will also open to trades for other Williams WPC machines or newer Sterns (+/- cash, depending).
