Okay its a bit beat up on the outside but its clean as hell on the inside and I really wanted it themewise. :)

Got a machinegunning flipper (broken coil winding?) but other than that working mechanically. Some dead bulb sockets but hard to check beause the wires are soldered to the screws?

Only the 1p and 2p plasma displays appear to be working. Credit disp is partially functional but very dim and missing segments and then 3p and 4p dont light up at all.

Backglass is...meh. Bottom 25% has been taped and one small piece near 4p display flaked off and gone. Hasnt been hit with the clearcoat but now stuck with the tape and no way to permanently secure it i guess.

Looking foward to getting it working, hard to play with the dysfunctional flipper. Anyone know if on these older machines not being able to trap the ball with the flipper is normal behavior? Seems they dont come up to enough of an angle to effectively do it on this one. I feel like it adds morr of a skill element to handling the bal but would like it to function as intended.

Nice score, I love mine it was in about the same shape when I got it to. How much did you give for it?
 
You should be able to trap the ball once the flipper is fixed! Chattering flipper is usually a bad end of stroke switch, which probably needs adjustment. If you have any other questions let me know, I know the old Bally's well.

I cant trap it on the good flipper either. Probably just needs to be adjusted. I was waaay too tired to do much other than reassemble the thing last night. Had about 5 hours of sleep and my kid had surgery for ear tubes early in the morning. That was a long day.

Can honestly say that i never want to take the legs off a machine ever again if i can help it.
 
Paid 300$. Forgot to mention it, but the guy also removed the batteries from the MPU board too. Smart!

Only issue is that the knocker now fires every single game I play because it's defaulted to 20k for a replay, I think. REALLY low, LOL.
