Gottlieb ROCK brought back to life

[myPinballs]

Another Gottlieb 80B game saved! Helped the buyer of this ROCK game get it up and running yesterday afternoon. Ground upgrades done, 5V regulator upgraded. All fuses and cabling checked.

And hey presto booted up after a long sleep (23 years!). Some messing was required to get the sound board back to working condition. Now its just waiting for one of my new 80B CPU boards to solve the lack of controlled playfield lamps and some missing sounds.

Good stuff. Owner willing to take it to NLP?

Thought you had bought it John.

 

[JMP]

No, I had a moment of restraint for once.

[replicas]

Oh well done for resisting the urge to expand your sys 80 collection

Hah, yes that..... plus Nick's Sorcerer and that Elvira & TPM on Ebay. Bad timing, meh.

I'm sure the owner would be willing to lend for the show if he gets it all sorted before and the nlp guys can pick it up etc

I remember this pin when it first came out - it was a total drain monster, it gave many tilts! I'd love to play it again to see if it plays any different.
