I finally got one of these after several years of searching, but boy is it in rough shape. I've already got the plastics for it (thanks AL), but need several other things. I'm going to take the main box to the paint store tomorrow to match the paint and then start looking for stencils.

Here's what's needed. Send a PM if you have any of the parts. I'll also post for them with pics in the Wanted section. -JM

Stainless side rails x 2
Ball Gate (Right Side) - A-1475-9
2 x Plastic Guide - C-935-1
2 x Plastic Guide - C-936-1
Left Slingshot assembly
Right Slingshot assembly
Mini-Post with screw/stud
And eventually need to find a nice back glass.

Nice score! I want to find a Strikes and Spares someday because I love that backglass. Tough game to come by, and the times I have seen it for sale, it never seems to go as cheap as the boston pinball ebay price guide indicates it would.
 
Wow, rough shape indeed. I picked up one a year or so ago and love it. First pin i played so i had to have it in my collection.

I have a new BG and nos pf'd for it as well as stencils. Gonna bring it back to life as well. Will look forward to seeing the progression of yours.

Good luck.
 
Where did you find the stencils?

I've got the paint matched already and want to have the stencils ready by the time I finish repairing and sanding down the table and head.

Got the playfield partially disassembled already and will try to finish taking it apart later int he week.

I'll add a link to the restore thread when I start it.

Thanks,

I got the stencils straight off Jeff. He makes them from memory. I'll pm you his email addy. From memory Bay Area had them (out of stock atm)http://bayareaamusements.com/Mercha...de=ST-3&Category_Code=GS-2406&Product_Count=6 and Marco as well (also out of stock :()http://www.marcospecialties.com/product.asp?ic=CA-1732

Definately try Jeff then. He may point you in the right direction.
