After many years of owning this title (I've had around 5!) I managed to get this outstanding example. I am now finding that I know the game inside out and tend not to play it although everyone else that comes round always wants to play it!
So I think the time has come to let it go. I got it late 2016 and here is the list from when I bought it:
I didn't like the green non standard bumper caps so fitted originals.
I fitted the martians with red LED eyes.
I fitted an LED strip on top of the acrylic backboard which works with one of the flashers
Fitted a Cliffy protector to the SOL hole.
If you want to look at the original For Sale thread it's here http://www.pinballinfo.com/communit...ars-£7k-totally-rebuilt-new-pics-added.34924/
The pictures below are as it is now.
I'm after £6,250 for it.
