Bought this from a forum member as a project back in the Summer. It is a nice family friendly game with simple rules but the interesting layout makes it fun to play, particularly to a novice or new/young player.
The game is now in really nice condition, fully functional (including the Island toy) and plays excellent, however when I bought this it had various issues and the playfield was mostly covered in a number of strips of mylar which had lifted and dirt had got in between making it look planked. I couldnt put up with that so I took the chance on removing and thankfully it went all well, revealing a beautiful almost like new playfield underneath. I therefore progressed to do a full service with the jobs below done.
Playfield and Island stripped and cleaned, all metal guides, posts, lenses and plastics cleaned.
Upgraded to comet for GI and colour coded LED's under throughout including the flashers
Flippers rebuilt including the bushing
up/down ramp relay replaced
Faded translight replaced
DMD replaced, now flawless
Playfield glass replaced for a much less scratched one
CPU board is squeaky clean with a remote battery holder fitted.
Any nasty wiring hacks removed and replaced by the proper connectors, any burned also replaced.
All fuses checked for correct rating, replaced as necessary
Cabinet faded but tidy and nice and solid, legs good.
Power driver board has some burn around the transistor that drives the up/down ramp where the transistor randomly failed at Pinfest, but thankfully the damage was repairable, cleaned the area, repaired a broken track without having to use wires, laqured to avoid any further issue and all affected components replaced.
Ran flawless all weekend at my recent spooktacular comp
Has pinball Express stickers from the late 90's and early 2000'S inside, appears quite well looked after throughout its life.
Priced to sell on here as would much rather keep in the community and make a site donation rather than go down the Ebay/marketplace route.
Sold another machine couple weeks back so expecting Martin here soon or collect from Southport PR9 7TL
its just too easy for my skill level, and I have my eye on another machine on here, funds needed!
Any Q's pls feel free to message
