Love this game but now bored of it. Make room for new stuff :)

Was bought as a project off another member then completely restored. It was dismantled to the very last screw and carefully rebuilt cleaning every single part or replacing what I could get hold of new.

You can see the whole restore process here
https://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/earthshaker-project.41848/page-7

From memory new parts are
- new glass
- new cpr silver pf
- new cpr plastics
- new retrorefurb side blades
- new original mirror bg in fantastic condition
- new next gen cabinet decals
- new fault line / spinner / drop target decals
- new replacement alphanumeric plasma (old faulty)
- new starship ramps
- new legs + bolts
- new lock down bracket
- new buttons
- new lamps (led back glass)
- new rubbers
- new posts/pops/random pf hardware
- new flippers + rebuild kit + coil
- new various stickers (not all installed)
- all metal work zinc plated
- wire forms re-chrome plated
- metal guides all mirror polished
- metal posts / bits and bobs tumbled to mirror finish
- all wire looms cleaned
- every single plastic part cleaned
- new plunger assembly
- powder coated coin door
- powder coated back box hinges
- powder coated back box speaker box glass bracket
- powder coated cabinet carriage bolts
- hundreds of new screws and bolts
- new cabinet braiding
- all pf GI replaced with screw lamp holders not stapled for easy lamp replacement.
- even new power cord and plug :D

Probably more but can’t think of them at the moment, basically if I could buy it new, I pretty much replaced it.

Only slightly grotty part is the lock down bar looks like i did not get round to buying new but they are very easy to replace if not i can just order one.

The cpr plastics started to have the ink flake off on edge of some high traffic plastics after only 100 games but they are sending me out a brand new set which they say has a new coating to stop the flaking. So machine will have plenty spare plastics. I’ll install the new ones once they turn up.

Shaker is not installed but have it separate (I don't like shakers lol)

Plays great, no faults I am aware of.

Maybe one of the nicest earthshakers in UK? Lol (might be??)

Plays great no faults I am aware of.

Iv just gone over it to take photos and this thing is immaculate, i actually forgot how nice it was.
If u see any little white fakes in the photos its the old cpr plastics ink (i tried to wipe most of it up)


If you want a super nice ES this is it :) (in no rush to sell will wait for the right buyer)
£2850

Welcome to come play(Bristol) (before lock down... lol)
Martin is due soon!

"Proper Job". One of the best ways to spot a decent restoration is check if the wiring looms were removed and cleaned. A real time consuming annoying job often forgotten or left, but shows you alot restoration wise. And these looms look brand new minty mint :)

Oh yes :)
You could pretty much eat your dinner off any part of this machine. (note: I don't advise you actually do this!)

When i took the game apart i was getting dirty hands every time, it was so dirty and greasy. Putting together though was fantastic not a mark :)
 
May have priced this to high (market has spoken) dropped to 4k and stuck on ebay with £1 max free promotion :)
 
Fair play that's a nice machine and I just had a read through your refurbishment and I bet its better now than when it left the factory all them years ago, I'm sure someone will pick up a excellent machine here.
 
Yeah just need the right buyer which is pretty rare :D I’m probably the only one who wanted a mint earthshaker lol
 
Looks stunning, incredible work, you should be very proud of that. Best of luck selling, that will make one Earthshaker fan very happy I'm sure.
