Hi all
Finally signed up here (although I feel a bit dirty defecting from Yahoo Groups LOL). Just to let you know I will shortly have a Twilight Zone for sale (probably the end of this week).
It has been completely stripped and rebuilt. Not a Pinball Paradise spit and dirty rag job…
Playfield out; all mechs cleaned and rebuilt. End stops filed down or replaced; coil sleeves changed; rubbers; bulbs etc etc. Wiring looms cleaned. Brackets; screws and metal bits tumbled or machine polished. Gumball machine removed and worked over - same with the clock.
Cabinet is reasonable. Small amount of fade to the right side or front - but pretty good. Left side is faded. Backbox is OK but some dings and touchups. I have resprayed the black surround of the backbox and internally, the cab has been sanded and sides resprayed too. Coin door and bolts repsprayed as well. Not a Woodtechworkshop job – but very neat and tidy, nonetheless.
Playfield and mini PF have signs of planking - but on the main PF it is mainly under the factory mylar - so it hasn't got any worse. A local airbush artist and clearcoater (who has done quite a few PFs for local enthusiasts) quoted me £60 for airbrushing and clearing the mini PF and £150 - 200 for the main PF if that's your thing.
A couple of plastics are cracked - most notably the Magna Save plastic on the mini PF but this is an available part from Phil at PH. All other plastics have been cleaned and flattened.
Powerball has also been tumbled so it's white and squeaky clean.
I don't have pictures yet as it is still in pieces but will have these later this week and I will post these to my new album.
I am based in Brighouse, West Yorkshire, and I would far prefer you to come and have a look and kick the tyres and see it for yourself. Even if you just want to kick the tyres and play it – then you’re welcome to!
I am looking for £1800ish. Drop me a mail or PM if interested.
