so today i went to pay for and pickup my street fighter II, on the way home at a redlight, this man pulls up next to me and my buddy and honks the horn, motioning to roll the window down, i do and he asks, "do you buy pinball machines?" i said, "Yes." he said, "pull over" so we did. he said he had two he is trying to sell, a Black Out, and a Gamatron, neither machine are in working order, the black out machine the playfield is a 2 or 3 out of a 10 its shot IMO, its 100% complete, the back glass was probably a 9 out of 10, the body of the machine and artwork was probably 7 out of 10, the boards in the head, the batteries were leaking acid, some capacitors were bulging out and leaking, when you power the machine on it would engage some solenoids and lock up holding them in, as to not cause damage i turned it back off, then i moved over to the Gamatron, this machine was not working, the LED on the MPU would flash 4 times then stop, this was as far as it went, the batteries had been removed, was very very very minimal acid damage, had all new rubber kit, playfield i didnt see any wear, so imma say 9 out of 10, the machine body was probably a 9 out of 10, it just didnt work, the man said, i need the space and want these gone, i had spent all my money today though.
i will be calling him friday to get them though, i dont really want the Blackout, but he wont separate the machines, its both or none.
the street fighter II needs some work, but i dont think it will be too far from working once i get a screen, and some balls, i switched it to tournament mode and it keeps trying to kick the ball out to the shooter lane but there arent any balls, or shooter rod, or score screen or flipper coils, so right now it just looks cool flashing lights around when in attract mode
