Bought this for my son for Xmas and stripped it down to the bare playfield, replaced most parts, every bulb, and cleaned everything.

BIG THANK YOU to mattosborn for letting me come over and put the playfield back together at his house so I could use his as a guide after an accident sent all the parts all over my office floor...lol Would have never gotten it together right without his help!

Also added an emerald green 3 foot LED tap strip to the bottom of the cab and tied it in to the lightsaber 12V, so when it turns on, so does the tape under the cab...very cool!

My son is going to LOVE this... and the thing looks brand new now!

Nice looking pin. I really like the modification of the light. Its a fun, under rated game. It can be hard for some people to get into, as it is very challenging, or they are turned off by the theme but if you stick with it long enough its a good machine to own.
Did you do any work or inspection of the computer? The computer powersupply is known to fail. The CPU fan should be changed, and the caps on the board should be monitored for failure.
I really enjoy owning one, and your family will enjoy it.
 
You missed a coin door light....

:D


Yes...yes...I know, I actually still have to clean the cab and replace a couple of lights as well...lol



caligirl, this thing has been gone through top to bottom... even socketed the ULN2803 so when it blows again, it is an easy swap (thanks Tom)

I love this machine... very cool! I dont mind the cut scenes, which seems to be the big knock on this machine... but I am thrilled it was finished in time!

Thanks everyone!
 
Remember that one night you had too much to drink?? Well Hi DAD, I would like one of those Pinballs too!
 
Dewman, I need you to do me a favor.. I'm going to give you the number for MY FATHER!!! Because without people like you he would NEVER come up with something like this for ME!!! :D

Great job on the pin. And from a fellow SW lover, I hate you. (kidding)
 
ROFL... I will do what I can!

Rcade... I am going to need a blood test!...lol
