[Ashbo]

Putting my Special Force up for sale. I have been fixing her up and documenting this on my shop log.

Complete - Special Force - Military Hospital 🚑🏥🪖🎖️

Martin has been, but my wife and father got her set up so for me as I'm layed up in bed at the moment. Can anyone guess what game she is? It's a Bally....and it's on my signature.....doh!!!! Looks like I can't do anything for a week, so this is how she will stay for a bit. Don't tell anyone...

A Dennis Nordman "World Under Glass" classic from September 1986. To be honest, still loving this pin.

The Pros

• 100% working - all boards doing what they should, caps, transistors, diodes and resistors have been replaced where needed. Button cell also fitted.
• Modern display replacements, bright (but adjustable if too bright for you).
• A fun game to play, I have to be honest - I bought this as something to do over the winter and have been shocked by how much fun it is!
• Fully cleaned and some paintwork tastefully touched up.
• Both flippers rebuilt.
• New flipper bats.
• New rubbers throughout.
• Selective green LEDs for GI.
• Out hole and sling coils replaced.
• New side rails fitted.
• New power cable fitted.
• New backbox bolts.
• New backbox latch.
• All three-drop target mechs have been rebuilt with new targets.
• All mechs have been stripped and cleaned.

The Cons

• Not original Bally Midway legs. They should be black, these are chrome colour.
• It looks like the cabinet was dropped at some point in its 36 1/2 year life, and it came to my ownership with a broken neck and a caved in front (which looked like it wasn't original).
  • Cabinet has been repaired and is strong and ready for action, but its high-density board, difficult to work with so this isn't a mint refurb, but still looks good.
  • The front of the body is a new piece of board I have replaced, looks good now, but its not original.
  • The neck on the back right has been drawn together using a furniture bolt and is now strong and level.
• The back glass is passable, but it's not great. I have treated problem areas with Triple Thick and also sensitively covered obvious issues with gels or painted acetate strips. What I have done is reversable if you wish.
• The T-Moulding is original, you may choose to replace with new.
• The playfield has scratches, some inserts have wearing but as I have removed the bubbling mylar, actually looks nice considering.
• Playfield glass has scratches visible when turned off, when on, you don't notice them.
• Broken plastics, still work, and top ramp plastic isn't exactly as it left the factory.
• Spotted as I took photos, I have to connect up the tilt bob - I will get this done.

Located in Long Sutton, Lincolnshire (Near Spalding).

Viewing welcome, happy to use Martin. Also happy to do a video call if you want to have a look around remotely.

Photos from my phone coming shortly.......

Next time I see a comment about no affordable games coming on the forum, they are getting a digital slap!

Great looking machine and great price!
