I've been wanting one of these for a long while.. want no more!
Got the snarl and sneer from the wife but that was to be expected however she warmed to the idea and life is good. I'm still working on my other game Cleopatra so another project has already arrived, this could get ugly.
The playfield is in really good condition for the age and has just a couple of worn out spots. The cabinet has been painted with some type of marker, it doesn't look like paint (here we go again.. another strip) the legs look like crap and it has a slight sound issue. I've got to say that even though it needs work all the displays look good and it it seems to play fine, bumpers need some work and it needs to be cleaned...
So here's what I'm after, this thing needs some love. It's been worked on before but is going to need some more for you owners of Williams 6 games what electronics need to be replaced, does someone have a list of part numbers, quantities, etc. from an order they've placed? I realize the interconnect needs to be replaced but I've seen some different part numbers and would love a definitive list.
The sound issue is kind of interesting, in the background I can faintly hear the "Firepower" being replayed and the other sounds seem to be working, some of this could disappear with the replacement of the connectors and interconnect but I was curious if anyone had experienced something similar in their run ins with the System 6 games.
I'm a little concerned about cleaning the cabinet with goof-off which was suggested by a reliable source as this is how I got jammed up on my Cleopatra but I've heard Goof-Off spray and a couple of seconds wait time might be the ticket, thoughts?
Also, where the original legs chrome? these are painted Grey which I assume were switched out with something else.
VB,
