I just picked one of these up that was in storage for many years. Have no idea if it works yet - it's Dirty, but appears complete. Before I start on this project, I was wondering if anyone with this pin can tell me if there are any likely problems that are specific to this model.
 
I just worked on one for a guy! Brought it back from the dead... really fun pinball.

There's really nothing badly designed on it that I saw, it's just a standard Bally, if you can fix or are familiar with the Ballys, you won't have any problems. The only difference between it and something like Mata Hari is there is a special "auxilary light" board, that is nothing more than a smaller version of the regular, well designed light board in these. I think I replaced one scr and that was it. Also the sound board has speech, so that wasn't working but after recapping it and putting a new 6821 PIA on it, it worked great too.

Fun game.

Cool, can't wait to start on this one. It is missing one 7-digit display, should I get an original to replace it , or just use a pinscore LED. I don't want to sink a lot of $$$ into this one, so it would just be one display replaced. Would the LED look funky in there when compared to a OEM display?
 
Yeah, just buy a rebuilt one, they're about 40 bucks. Don't use the LED, it'll look completely different. If you do, put it in the middle.

Are you sure they're 7 digits? I didn't have to mess with mine.
