Pinball technician in Farnborough/Guildford area needed urgently!

[Jamie Lenman]

Is there anyone local to me who could come and remove/replace the backboard on a Bally Doctor Who so I can get it inside my house? Please email jamie_lenman@hotmail.com if you know of anyone or could do the job yourself! Ta

If it’s to get through a door unbolt the back box from the hinges then turn gently then whilst supporting it move the machine of done carefully it’s possible.

Thanks daveyp - all the same, I think I'd rather have a professional on hand!

Sounds like you have the same issues as me getting games through the door.
Take a look at my photo. You will need to unbolt the hinges from inside the backbox, then carefully rotate the head, secure it, and then slide through the door before reattaching it back again.
Hope that helps.

It's more about the skinny hallways in my gaff I'm afraid - I think it might have to come off entirely

 

[Dave Playman]

I’m that case I recommend you take plenty of photos and most importantly label all the connectors (with something like a marker pen) so you know where they go once you come to reattach the head again. Good luck

@gopinball works out that way....

Just spoke to Martin, he's coming out tomorrow! Thanks all for your helpful suggestions
