Picked up a Firpower on Saturday.Traded it for a Bally Rapid Fire.Wasn't working when you turned it on
Just the playfieldlights and backbox lights.Replaced driver board and came up great,the interconnect connectors are the problem,will replace the ones on the driver board and put it back in.Backglass is pretty bad.Will need to get one.Playfield is pretty nice.1 pic is my Rapid Fire that I traded for it.

Firepower is a game that is utterly dependent on being in good condition, to play right. Sloppy flippers, old rubber, and a dirty playfield will slow it down far too much. Once it gets too slow, it plays like crap. Keep it clean and fast, and then you see what it's capable of.

Some games can still play well when slow, but this isn't one of them.

This is very true, not only does it have to be cleaned and maintained, this game suffers BADLY from being unleveled.
 
If there was one thing I enjoyed about killer list of videogames it was clicking on the general arcade section and not having to see anything pinball. The evil, evil pinball. ;)
 
Mayfair amusements is your best bet, but you're gonna PAY, big time. Like $250 big time.

El Dorado games might have some used ones, but that's a crapshoot.

Ya,I looked at Mayfair already.I know it wont be cheap,but this is the pinball ive been wanting to get since i started collecting in 1998.So when the time comes ill fork out the money for it. :)
 
At least you HAVE a backglass. ;)

Firepower is a complete bad ass of a pin. Congrats!
 
Pic of the backglass. :(

Darn that sucks. My glass is the best one I've seen. I will have to take a pic next time I'm at my arcade.

Yeah you can get one for $200 from them pre-scratched :D
