I'll say "restored" as it was an attempted restore. You can view my rant thread about this machine if you search.
I had to do some work on it and replace some parts. One motor that was almost $200.
Hurts me looking at it as it was part of a 2 pinball trade. Just rather sell it.

Here's what previous seller said was done:
- New wood grain vinyl sides
- New side art
- New front glass
- New cpo
- New base
- Replacement brass lift rod with 3d printed guides
- Replacement switching power supply
- Free-Play rom
- Warm-White LEDs

I had to replace 1 motor as it was original really loud. The other was already replaced so it is nice and quiet now.
Things to keep in mind that bothered me is the replacement plexi that holds the hole switches is not very well done. That is why I had to adjust most hole switches after receiving it. There are some cracks in it from probably not pre drilling holes. The plexi is screwed to the black plastic ball track and some screws are stripped. Might have to glue them in so the plexi doesn't come loose. Oh and the front bottom by the speaker has a crack in the wood that was never fixed, but painted over.

These are great to have in a collection. One of the most played games I have. Surprised it hasn't sold after all this time.
 
Price drop.

It needs some adjusting to get this thing fully reliable. When playing, I notice the left side stops moving up and down. It gets stuck. I reach my hand inside and manually move the belt and then it gets unstuck and works.
Also, sometimes it just resets when playing.
