I got lucky and found this star wars right here in bismarck. It needs a couple bondo areas...already have front and side art set that came with machine still in tube. got the esb mod. got yoke rebuild kit...and board has been sent in and already worked over. chassis needs a little work...but other than that this machine is pretty solid.

Looks nice, I'm also looking to get one eventually.
 
No...it has a wg6100...but I wasn't gonna complain...not for what all came with it. Inly thing I have to do is rebuild yoke...which it came with a rebuild kit already...already ordered new marquee..yoke and cp overlay and t molding from arcade shop. Gonna send out chassis tomorrow...ordered new vinyl from thisoldgame.com. it came with brand new side and front art still in tube...pcb still in box from being reworked...and has esb mod still in bubble wrap. I think I came out awesome. Most of the work has already been done for me!

Damn man, looks awesome, trying to decide if I want to do similar with mine or if I leave it as it sits in pretty good condition, you are giving me too many ideas, Picked mine up playing blind with the amplifone, new neck socket from Dez is all I waiting on..that and the multi kit... as for now it sits in my work area taunting me daily... well, that and the Tron. Keep up the good work, I have spent time with wrok in Bismark, not easy to find classics there Im sure..
