So I see this ad on our local CL, advertising a mostly working Blackout Pinball and a working X-Men COTA game:
OK, seems legit, what do you think?
Only pin I have is Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man, and its pretty much been overhauled, working all the way. Sue mentioned she has played Blackout in the past (I dont think I have) and thought it was OK. I have no desire to hang on to the X-Men game if I did offer this deal up, but it might make a good sale or trade for another game, who knows?
Your thoughts? Anyone?
Out of curiosity, I contact the guy and ask him what the Blackout is doing and what he thinks is wrong with it, heres his response:I have a 1980 SS pinball and an arcade machine that I'm interested in trading.
The Arcade machine is a Capcom X-Men COTA. It has a 25" monitor, is in good shape, and works well. I alsohave a Marvel Super Heroes game cartridge that could be swapped back and forth.
I also have a 1980 Williams Blackout Pinball. The machine is in pretty good shape, considering it's age. Brand new pinball, rubber, and flippers were repaired recently and work very well. It has a couple of issues that need to be fixed to get it back to 100% operating condition. It does power on, and recently did work perfectly fine. I have identified what is basically wrong with it to anyone wanting the machine.
I am interested in trading these two machines for one working/ semi-working pinball, maybe something from the 80's to early 90's. I give you a working arcade and a project pinball for a decent condition pin in return. I am flexible regarding transportation of my machines, and would work something out.
Please email if you have any interest.
If you know much about System 6 machines, it has a 40 pin connector between the CPU and Driver board. The connectors tension is wearing out, and a couple of the connectors of the 40 have fallen off altogether. Therefore, it needs to have the pin connector fixed. If you know how to do circuit board soldering, or know someone that does, the 40 pin kits cost around $10 to $20.
I suspect that this would cure most of the issues.
Thanks for your interest.
