Was given a Nugent pinball

A friend of mine had a cousin who was a huge Ted Nugent fan and bought a Nugent pinball somewhere about 20 years ago. The cousing had a bad marriage, alcoholism (ran in the family), then committed suicide in '03 or so. The pin was given to the sister of the deceased, she stuck it in a small trailer with a fold down back door and it sat there for 8 or so years. Fast forward to last summer, my friend had been trying to get the pin for years, the sister finally relented and gave it to him. He had no way to pick it up, he asked me to, so I did, he said I could just haul it home and put it in my gameroom. A week later he said I could just have it.

So I've finally decided to start messing with it. The playfield glass is broken courtesy of a hammer during an arguement, the MPU board is missing, and the SB-100 sound board is also gone.

I can find a replacement MPU board, but I haven't really seen any SB-100 boards floating around. I'm guessing nobody has made a replacement for it? Will the pin play without the SB-100 board?

If I get replacement playfield glass cut, does anyone know offhand the exact measurements? I know I'm being lazy, just thought I'd ask before measuring myself.

The playfield has some cracking on the guitar where the strings are. What's the optimal way to deal with this?

I figure if I get the pin going I'll probably give it back to the friend, he gave it to me because he's clueless when it comes to electronics and just wanted to save it from the trailer. The pin was in really nice shape before that trailer. I'm somewhat indifferent about the pin, I have the lone personal holy grail pin (Space Invaders) and I'm happy with that.

The SB100 is sound. It should boot and play fine without it, but quiet. :) post a wtb over at rgp or here, I'm sure you can find one.
 
Re-gift it to Obama.

Good one! Is having no sound such a bad thing? After all, if you add sound back you may be forced to hear his Alpa Male opinions! Knowing Ted and his views, I wouldn't be one bit surprised if the machine started on a rant! Anywho...does someone have an answer about the cracked play field?

TN just uses the standard size pinball playfield glass. You should be able to buy a new piece for $20-$25. Too bad your not in my area you could have a sheet of used glass for free.
 
Funny considering all the recent attention he's been getting for dodging the Vietnam draft. Apparently he ate junkfood and shit himself for 10 days straight. He showed up covered in piss and shit and he got out of servcie:

In a July 15, 1990, Detroit Free Press interview, Nugent crowed about how he managed to dodge the draft. He claims that 30 days before his draft board physical, he disavowed personal hygiene. The last ten days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and with a week to go until the physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether. When the big day came, he had been living in excrement-caked and urine-stained pants. Always the hero, however, Nugent reassured the Free Press, "But if I would have gone over there, I'd have been killed, or I'd have killed all the Hippies in the foxholes. I would have killed everybody."

Oh, that explains it. Good thing he didn't go then. I knew there had to be some super intellectual reason for that and not just some lame excuse.
