I know, no flippers, not a Pinball Machine, some might say.
But a Steve Richie special with the amazing back glass.
I bought this one in August 2019 in the US. Some shipping logistics delayed its arrival until now.
Considering its a 39 year relic from 1981, its in really good condition considering I've shopped some 90s machine in a lot worse condition.
No damp, or signs of water. The bulb holders, and there are many are all in good condition.
The logic boards are also looking good.
I've not turned it on yet as I need to do a 110 to 220v conversion.
So what am I going to do.
New line cable and Varistor.
Clean up of playfield.
Replace 20 rubber posts for Titan Red posts.
Re chrome legs and new levellers.
Re paint general areas.
Chrome trim around the back box.
Check fuse ratings.
LED to GI.
Consider replacing main lamps (100+) with LEDs Once I understand the technical requirements as the PF lamps fade a lot in game play.
Reduce the game working noise from 90db to 80db by installing HIP in the subfloor and install felt on the auger.
Install a 555 timer to the right trigger to allow continuous ball fire.
Some if this has been suggested by Ed Cheung who owned a machine some years back.
