I feel you there. I'll probably list my full sets here at some point for $75 each... half off seems fair.
Still might be a wait until somebody happens to need them.
I believe new sets from CPR are something like $150... so I'd say a partial used set is less than that. If your set is missing the most commonly broken pieces, then maybe a lot less.
I've got a couple of sealed CPR sets (for different games) I listed on pinside a while back for 100 each... no...
Love when people blame the kids/grandkids when their old-ass machine stops working. This sure sounds like a jukebox that was on borrowed time for a long time.
The blaring noise from the speakers reminds me of a Rockola I worked on a few years ago... if not a 478, a model very close to that. It...
I had some Lunar Lander parts from a cabinet I found on the side of the road around 25 years ago.... I think it was missing the game board. If it had been there I would've grabbed it!
You may be aware that an Asteroids board with a multigame kit can play Lunar... so that's one option you might...

Call and talk to Steve Young on the phone about this one. That's a pretty cool find. I am sure he can hook you up with the correct balls, and maybe some history as well.

I almost mentioned this. I've seen this with certain old Bally games (early 80s), but not on any 90s Bally/Williams games. With new aftermarket parts, though, it is a possibility.
I think they are doing the best they can with what's available.
Back when WMS was still in the pinball biz, the rebuild kits were a great solution. The kits were assembled by Williams with the same OEM parts they were putting in new games, so the quality level was very high, and they were...
If the flippers stay up when the main power switch is turned off, it's almost certainly a mechanical problem.
There are lots of little details to a flipper rebuild that need to be attended to if you want correct operation with every flip. One of the most commonly overlooked is the vertical...
I've used this technique, but without a lot of confidence in the exact way I've been doing it. My variac has a built in meter for current draw, so I always power questionable gear through it... at least if I notice the current draw surging, I can kill power and limit the damage.
Do you start at...
