Partially restored. Bought it from an owner who had it in their home for last 25 years. MPU was going to be difficult to repair so I replaced it just 5 months ago with the new Rottendog MPU Williams/Bally System 9, 11, 11A and 11B, MPU Board #MPU9211 with all new ROMS (about $500 board) which can be used interchangeably with many Williams pins. Runs like a champ.
The playfield is in incredible shape as the photos show. The original mylar is clean and intact without the bubbling you typically see in locations such as the lights on the chest which tells me this game was not played much nor left on for long periods of time. The plastics are all in excellent shape. There is a crack in one of the plastics on one tip of the visor, but it is hidden by the bolts so not really noticeable.
Aside from bringing it back to life with a new MPU, I shopped it out and put new Titan silicone rings, a new spiral ramp, new flipper bats and a few other parts. New bulbs nearly everywhere (I decided to keep it looking original with incandescents rather than LEDs). Added the backbox light baffle mod which gives a nice effect to the lights in the backbox when Pinbot speaks. The topper was missing, so I reproduced one following the method posted by a fellow Pinsider. I modeled it after an original one. It's not perfect, but really looks sharp.
The small lower display that shows what ball you are on needs to be replaced and a couple of other displays have the upper portion of the number missing (so a "9" will look like a "4" because the top line of the 9 is missing). For under $200 you can buy a whole new set of displays and change them out. Pretty simple thing to do. I've just lived with it and never got around to changing them with new ones.
I think the price on this pin is fair given the overall condition of the machine, the playfield and plastics, and that you have a brand new modern MPU that should work forever.
Anything else you would like to know, please feel free to reach out.
Happy to cooperate with a shipping company for long distance buyers. If you are located within California, there is a local pinball machine mover who moves games all over California on the weekends at a reasonable cost (less than a commercial moving company).
