We got this a couple weeks ago on Craigslist for $300.
All I needed to know is that it was mostly functional and couldn't pass up the price.
The Bad:
No Sound - one speaker not working, one speaker not connected and tweaked vol on board - need to replace 1k volume pot
Right Flipper not working - wire disconnected from coil...works now
Most lights burned out or non-functional - all replaced but 10 still don't work, need to check diodes and connections
Filthy inside and out- Pinesol'd and scrubbed inside and out... vacuum'd boards and wiped down.
Playfield very worn - playfield in...wanting to fix lights before disassembly
Rubber rotted and some gone - new rubber in...not installed
Warped playfield plastics - plastics cleaned, need to be baked
Missing nuts on playfield - new nuts in, haven't installed
Coin door not closing - blade on lock was hitting slam switch, trimmed and now closes
Side Stickers damaged - new side stickers ordered
Slight swelling on lower sides
Top fiberboard broken/swelled
CPO is cracked and worn - have, waiting for time to install
Middle drop targets don't always reset - was missing some rubber...all's well.
The Good:
Monitor looks great
Top Art and Monitor Surround Art in great condition
Boards are in great condition
Little to no battery leak damage (has a newer battery...but needs to be relocated)
Entire playfield operation works (except for rt flipper) - flipper fixed, loose wire
Unit plays perfectly
Mostly cosmetic and refreshing needed.
The Story:
Found on Craigslist for $300
Seller had for the past 3-4 years indoors and it had been functional until recently (flipper stopped working).
Prior to 4 years ago she said it was in a "Barn"...or glorified storage.
The keys were on a bodyshop keychain, so it could have been used at a body shop/garage for a stint of it's life.
It had tax tags on it for 1982 and 1992, so guessing it hasn't been used for profit for the past 20 years.
Along the way it had become a home for about 5-7 dirt dauber nests and a mouse (which ate the original manual and looks like it chewed on the serial tag as well)...and the occasional spider.
Must have been exposed to some moisture since there is swelling in the top and the front of the side panels.
Will have to upload more photos after I downsize them...
