Ok.. so I used to have a hard rule about never owning pins...just seemed like too much upkeep compared to vids. Then I got a Bride of Pinbot a couple years ago at auction. Short version.. it had too much wrong with it and I had too little knowledge..and money to fix it. ...so I sold it..managing to break even at least.
That one really enforced my rule.
But now I am happy to say that soon I will have in my possesion a Data East Star Wars!!
This game is from a pin guy..he picked it up and fixed it up. Only thing for me to do is some cosmetics..like replacing playfield plastics..touching up the cab .. ect. If I was going to own one pin..this is it. I figure a working pin will be easier to learn on. lol
Couple questions: http://www.aaarpinball.com/StarWars/SWFS.htm
1. Does anyone reproduce the cabinet art?(it looks ok..just normal wear/use)
2. Does anyone reproduce the Death Star?(its there just worn at the top)
3. Anyone do metal repair on ramps?
4. Can edge wear like around 'The Force' hole be repaired?
5. How hard is it to do the LED light conversion?
6. Whats the latest/best ROM revision for the game?
7. Any advice from other DE Star Wars owners?
8. Need a list of reputable parts suppliers.
Thats it for now..I'll have more questions once I pick it up and get it home.
