If all goes well and the deal doesn't fall through I will be picking up my first pin - High Speed - in a day or two. I've collected vids for many years and was pretty good at fixing/restoring the mechanicals and delved only lightly into the electronics (re-caps, tube swap, etc.) so I have to say I'm a little nervous at the prospect of trouble shooting a pin.
I have a couple of questions about the High Speed that I'd like to ask for some opiniosn/suggestions. Again, please keep in mind that this is my pin so if I ask a question that is common knowledge please don't beat me up too badly!
1) It is missing the p1 and p2 displays. Is it worth looking for replacement plasma displays or should I just update them all with an LED display?
2) If you suggest the LED update, what vendor and manufacturer would you recommend (that is assuming the pinLED's are made by different companies)?
3)The rubbers need to be replaced. Is this a generic item or would you recommend one vendor/brand over another?
4) Is there anything else I should do or replace at the outset before letting the kids (and adults) loose with it?
I'm sure down the road I would like to do a thorough cleaning and learn about "shopping" a pin but for now I just want to take care of the basics/essentials. There is so much to learn that I'm already feeling a bit overwhelmed!
Thanks in advance for your advice!
