i bought this very recently from here and haven't even been able set it up. bought it as part of the addiction that is pinball, even though i didn't really want or need it - i have too much stuff and not enough space and am running out of money, so i'm having buyer's regret and would like to just move this straight on to someone else who can appreciate it and actually play it.
most of the below text is pasted from Oli's sale thread:
if you click the link, you'll see that it currently the stage door kick out thinks there's some times a ball in there when there isn't, and needs the optos replacing or checking out, which requires a strip of the stage which is a few hours' work.
Good points:
Matt Adams completely stripped the playfield and rebuilt it. Less than 100 plays on it! I have pictures of this work.
Replacement third party ball trough opto boards as the originals are prone to failure
It is the early Pinball Magic machine - pilot? early run? It's the one in the flyer with the silver trim. I've never seen another silver trim model ever.
The CPU board has a new replacement battery backed ram
The CPU board has been refurbished as the CPU socket are sometimes an issue on these. It's got a brand new CPU socket and also a metal clasp that holds it securely.
PinballCenter.eu anti glare translite glass
Complete re-rubbered from the playfield rebuild!
Bad Points:
Rear of the backbox someone (not me) tried to sack truck it through a doorway that's too narrow so there's a bit of damage. The cabinet is in good condition otherwise.
Stage Door issue as mentioned. This will eventually stop working if it fires to many times, and you must reset it.
The backbox lock mechanism is missing
I would replace the drop targets with new ones
General Points:
It has Bally Midway legs - they are a brand new set of legs
It has pincab protectors
No broken plastics
New premium balls for working better with magnets
spares (not included with sale, but can be negotiated - i paid £725 for the lot)
A bundle of NOS plastics and stickers
A spare CPU board (with the new CPU socket and metal clasp to hold it securely)
A NOS (yes never used) Sound PCB with pinball magic roms
A NOS switch matrix PCB
A NOS DMD power aux PCB
