Expired Williams Black Knight breaking ..

[deathrow]

Taken down from sale due to woodworm issues.

All non cabinet parts are available and will be listed soon.

 

[Paul]

I have access to an arcade clearance that I’ll need space for (I’ll share this with you guys as it unfolds)

oohhh.... Dibs on anything useful!! Interesting tho.. please keep us updated

 

[deathrow]

Will do bud

 

[astyy]

I have access to an arcade clearance

A stash pile of VECTORs is my guess

 

[deathrow]

Lmao.. I wish! Nothing quite as flamboyant.
It’s the outcast machines from a Norfolk holiday camp arcade from back in the day.

 

[HomerRamone]

How far back in the day exactly ?

 

[deathrow]

All will be revealed when I know more. I don’t want to lock this thread up so will start a fresh one as soon as I can.

Right now it’s a family friend offering me rights on what’s there. I’ve been told “old video and pinball” that’s it.

Could be boxes of nothing.. or? Just don’t know

All I can do is be ready to shift things with money and space waiting. I will share this with you guys as it unfolds.

 

[stevebm1]

if your not intrested in the video stuff yourself,the guys on ukvac probably will be

Taken down from sale

 

[Mooseman]

Mr Death
Just read your lovely lazarus black knight thread.
Where exactly is this project up too? And what do you think is left to do?
I enjoyed doing that squirrel infested partyzone you sold me. Im sure you find these machines in dumpsters lol

 

[AlanJ]

hey @James - you wanted a project ........ ;-)

 

[James]

Haha - I have been in discussions @AlanJ - with the playfield etc, just a bit too much for me I think unfortunately. Someone will love it and keep it - I would only do it, have it for a bit and move on.

 

[deathrow]

@Mooseman Project is up to the point in the thread. Lots left... not able to itemise as haven’t got that far myself.
I’m in two minds with the sale and I’m looking into backbox options and wood repairs etc.
Machines are sourced through eBay or from other members on this forum.. in this case it was both.

I’m likely to just chuck it in storage for a while and see how I feel about the wood repairs later?
Or just scrap the project all together and call the cabinet too far gone. Shame but I wasnt told it had signs of woodworm when I bought it.
I’m not a woodworker.

 

[deathrow]

In fact thinking about it... I couldn’t risk passing this on to someone in case I’ve missed any woodworm activity etc as this could cause major damage to other property.

I think I’ve answered my own question.. need any parts?

 

[Mooseman]

Put it into quarantine then source a new cab.
Think Daz @replicas can make them or would deffo know who could.
Not sure if manny still makes them.
Would be such a shame to kill off a knight

 

[James]

Probably for the best unfortunately - was pretty darn well far gone, lots of great parts in it though. @deathrow will end up making more from it this way too - he put it up for a great price for the community, but on all ends this just didn't ever stack up to go any other way.

 

[deathrow]

Yes a shame but these things happen. Translate is bad too and not cheap. I gave it a go but woodwork is a no no for me i Think.

I’m calling it a day on this.

Very true mate

 

[James]

I know you tried your darndest @deathrow to let it become a project, even to the point of losing money on this to let someone have a crack at it - just wasn't meant to be.

 

[HomerRamone]

:-(

 

[stevebm1]

do you still have the speech board that attaches to the sound board avaliable?

 

[deathrow]

All is available ?

 

[PUP]

Hi deathrow if your selling parts i need two playfield plastics for mine if they are ok and available, the blue one above the eject hole on lower playfield and the yellow one that goes between the 2 metal ramps.
cheers, Andy

[BallyWilliams suck]

I'd take the backbox. Even if it's bad. I need the loom etc out of it
