Clearing out a parts box, many things need useful homes.
Bram Stokers Dracula - Cliffy playfield kit (2 piece, not shooter lane), repro? slings, repro proto slings, all new - £40.
Cyclone decals - £10
Cyclone slingshots (new, probably repro) - £10
Jokerz plastics & card spin mech etc...
I know how he feels. I simply don't have the space for this right now and it's the first 'piece' in the Tetris puzzle known as my house. It took ages to find a good one.
Apollo 13 machine, fully working, generally good condition.
Cabinet has some scrapes and slight damage at the back, sides are very good, front good too.
Playfield is in very very nice condition, one small chip that I'm aware of in a hidden lane, ball can't travel on it due to rails, no damage...
As used on Apollo 13 and probably other DE/Sega games, see photo here on the right:

Does anyone have a couple? Every time I search on the part number from the manual I find the flat types.
Thanks for the info and help with that by the way! The machine is finished now bar one clear plastic I got lucky and found on ebay this morning - I'd wanted to replace it but struggling to find one. Plays brilliantly.
Well I bought some from Comet eventually (took a while for them have everything in stock), here is the result:
The ones in the pop bumpers are still a kind that ghosts, but to replace those I'd have to dismantle the whole top half of the machine again and they spend 95%+ of their time on...
I don't think any company should be working with JPOP anymore to be honest. I watched all the Magic Girl videos and it's just sad how much of the game simply isn't there in hardware.
There are other designers to work with.
Lack of space makes keepers difficult for me, but the one thing I miss the most is probably Torpedo Alley. I'll be very sorry to see Apollo 13 go too.
I bought WOZ and Hobbit brand new, I imagine they'll hang around a long time. I don't see myself ever 'beating' either of them.
I'd like to find some different types of non ghosting LED, if anyone has any Cointaker, Comet or EU Superflux types for example spare I'd like to get one of each.
I've put some from pinball-led in my A13 which are ghosting, I'd like to find out if there's any type that really won't on this machine.
I was actually getting it ready to play for a little then sell - I might have to just return the LEDs and throw new incandescents in - that's too much money to add to the price.
Hi all, picked up some Premium 2 no ghosting LEDs for A13 which I'm finally repairing and cleaning up.
Unfortunately, it ghosts a lot. I put a normal bulb into one of the inserts that looks half lit when anything in that column is on, and it works perfectly - not even a glimmer of light from...
Been using Claytons guitar carnauba wax for a while, run out now.
What do people recommend at the moment? It'll be for newer playfields, WOZ and TWD for example.
