final set of pics. inside the backbox and cabinet, showing two electrical problems: 1 - one of the magnets is disconnected (don't know why); 2 - one of the fuses is a hack job.
overall, though, the boards look to be in pretty good shape. no battery damage (in fact, no batteries even in there!), no burns on the GI connectors, etc.
as i mentioned in the diamondplate thread, the biggest problem is that the DMD is not working at all. when i power it on, it's clear that there is a test report that it wants addressed, but since the DMD is out, i have no idea which one it is. but if i exit out of that, i can start up the game, and i can actually play it, and the sound works, all the features seem to work, etc.
so, known problems:
1 - DMD
2 - one magnet disconnected, not sure why
3 - fuse hacked
4 - major playfield glass scratch - will have to be replaced
5 - other minor cosmetics: coin door lock; backglass/translite lock missing, very minor cabinet and backbox knicks
overall, i'm very happy with my acquisition

.
ETA: one other problem - right slingshot plastic needs replacing; white pop bumper cover needs replacing.
