I have a lot of history and passion for this car, so I wanted to create a dedicated page to document the history of this machine.  I’m looking to get into a newer model ///M car… that’s all.

Purchase Price:  UPDATE.  I have been given a trade in price for a car I am near to purchasing.  I’d rather have this car sell to someone below retail.    Price discounted $2250 to $16750 for quick sale 

Inquire via EMAIL:  steve@castleclassicarcade.com

Location: Lexington, KY

Purchase History:

I am the 2nd owner of this vehicle.   I purchased this car in Feb 2008 with approx 11k miles at the Sam Swope BMW Dealership in Louisville KY.  It was a trade-in from the original owner who purchased it Dec 24th 2006.   This particular car is one of the last BMW M3s built… Aug 2006, and it did not roll off the floor until the end of the year.

The 2006 M3 Convertible was optioned to the full potential as BMW was no longer offering this car for sale.  In fact, the e46 line had ceased production a year earlier.  As such, this vehicle was given every option that was available, even parts from the M3 Coupe Competition Edition (such as the shortened steering rack ratio and stiffer suspension).

More technical information available at the BMW M Registry

Also, you’ll see where I registered this car when it was purchased, and still remains as one of the last production models:  “Steve C”, at the end of the list here

80k Miles

Operation

I’ve owned Porsches and M3’s for over 25 years as primary vehicles.  I know how to maintain and operate these vehicles for maximum longevity.  The trick to these cars is

1. Warm up the car slowly.  Drive it hard only when oil and water temps are at normal operating range
2. Cool down the car appropriately.  Low revs to allow temperature to come down before shutting off
3. Park the car with a fan to move heat.   Having a garage fan to pull heat from the car when parked will prevent heat soak… which is the #1 killer to all machines.   This is why I can coax 250k miles out of a Porsche Turbo and still sell it in perfect running condition.
4. Don’t beat on the transmission.   While these cars can shift as fast as a Formula 1 car (of the day), doesn’t mean it is intended to be operated like that over the lifetime of the vehicle.    Treat the engine and drive train with respect and it will respect you with long life.
5. Oil changes often with premium synthetic

Detailed Pics

My step daughter just graduated from dental school and is off to the west coast for her first job.   She’s not taking the car, so we’re going to sell it.

We’re going through an extensive restoration including:

Available February 2014.

Visit the Louisville Comic-con, which is highlighting Doctor Who’s – Matt Smith.  Then,  finish the weekend out by owning your own official Dr. Who pinball machine!

Bally (Williams / Midway) created this unintended sleeper in 1994.  Most refer to this game as “Williams’ other Twilight Zone” – which is the highest compliment and reference that can be made to a pinball machine.

The Shadow is designed by Brian Eddy – who really has only designed a few products, but are coveted by collectors world wide (Attack From Mars, Black Rose, Funhouse, Indiana Jones, Medieval Madness, Bride of Pinbot and The Shadow).  Each of these limited run machines have hit (or are aiming to be) in the top 20 pinball machines of all time – which commands an average street price of $5,000 – $12,000 !  We truly believe the Shadow is heading there very soon as it incorporates items that no other pinball machine has.

Many times, movie theme licensed products tend to suffer from getting complete acceptance by the pinball community for one reason or another.  Many times, it is because so much of the production budget went into licensing, that the machine suffered from cost reduction issues.  This machine however was not hampered by budget issues per-se, but by the unloved back glass art design.  However, the collector community keeps coming back to this machine so often because of it’s deep rule set and fantastic play, regardless of Alex Baldwin’s image on the backglass.   The pinball restoration community has even gone to the efforts of creating new backglass artwork for those who just cannot live without this machine, but are too stubborn to view his image (which by the way is not offensive in any way, unless you of course don’t like his movies or TV shows).

Game Play and Design

Many machines suffer from repetitive shots, or even similar shots borrowed from other machine designs.  The Shadow has 10 unique shots (not including targets, upper playfield and mode play).  This game has so many game modes and point methods that the Professional and Amateur Pinball Association went on to create a tutorial to help you better understand the machine.

Unique features:

• Two user controlled diverters via extra flipper buttons
• Magnetic ball lock and throw method for storing balls in the upper lock loop.  This awesome feature was instantly copied by Ripley’s Believe It Or Not machine by Stern years later.
• Upper playfield (The battlefield) which is a real-life breakout machine.  This is so addictive and fast!
• Ring lighting for each completed diverter shot.

This machine went though a very extensive restoration process.  It was missing many pieces and quite a few were broken from heavy use.  However, the playfield and cabinet were excellent.  As well, these machines are known to suffer from broken welds (under the Battlefield on the motor slide mount and both Phurba diverter assemblies.  Lastly, the upper lock loop (The Sanctum) always wears down through the wood, this machine was no different.

Our extensive restoration on this machine literally took over a month:

• Every board removed, inspected, resoldered, parts replaced, and tested
• Burned wiring harness replaced
• New DMD display !
• Battlefield completely disassembled – every part.  Cleaned, re-welded, replaced parts, upgraded gear assembly, deep polished, and LEDs installed.  Wood mounting panel sanded down and repainted.
• New battlefield kicker assembly.
• Wire form ramps removed, de-scaled and made CHROME to better match the rest of the machine.  We just didnt feel gold ramps fit well here when everything else is chrome and stainless steel.
• New diverter mechanisms and entire push-pull solenoid system rebuilt (for both upper and lower diverters).
• Replacement diverter Phurba knife located (from DENMARK) at over $100.  This machine is so desired, even unique used parts are next to impossible to find.  We did it all !
• Sanctum magnet ball damage fully repaired, sealed, re-stickered and covered with additional stealth mylar.
• Many optic switches replaced with new units.
• Many new targets.
• Entire playfield stripped down to the surface, polished and waxed.
• New flippers and entire mechanisms, linkages, contacts etc.
• New star posts thoughout.
• New stainless steel posts
• New Sanctum wall drop target
• New Rubber
• New balls
• Replaced amber flash lamp housings with CLEAR, and used custom GREEN, BLUE and AMBER LED flash lamps inside.  This makes for surprising and effective lighting, as well as uses more of the colors of the playfield.  Traditionally, this machine used way too many amber lights.
• All new RING lamps (rice grain size lamps).
• New flipper buttons (4)
• New chrome legs and hardware
• New color matched cabinet leg protectors
• Rebuilt coin door and professionally finished.  New lock
• Custom color matched LEDs and flash bulb LEDs through out the entire game.
• Cabinet polished and touched up (not much needed).  NO FADE on either side!  Amazing!
• Cabinet inside repainted and playfield back panel repainted
• Head touched up and inside repainted
• New head lock assembly

Pinball and Automobiles often go hand-in-hand!  Why is that?
Well anyway, this title plays homage to the great Corvette lineage.  This machine has a working drag strip and LT1 engine that shakes and bounces around the pinball.   Great play from a great themed game

Restoration Notes:

• Backbox and Cabinet restored
• Original condition playfield in beautiful condition!
• New plastic posts
• Full LED conversion
• Under cabinet lighting
• All circuit boards rebuilt and certified

Bally / Williams created a rare pinball machine with Flintstones.  This machine is a hidden gem with great shots and it looks just like the cartoon to boot.

Restoration will include:

• Full tear down, clean and polish

This Just In 11/09/2012…

One of the rarest pinball machines in modern pinball is the Champion Pub.  Made by Bally / Williams in 1997, this machine was on a very short run before the company closed it’s doors for good.  As you may know, some modern Bally / Williams pinball machines are fetching over $10,000 now due to their unique game play and design perfection.

However, none of those games are as rare as the Champion Pub.   Only 1,369 machines were ever made world-wide and WE have one.

This machine is currently going through a minor restoration – however it was already in fantastic condition to start.   Pictures and detailed information coming soon.  Call or email to inquire.  This machine will not last and may likely be the last one we ever see.

• New body
• New bag
• New arms
• New ramps
• Repaired special solenoids
• Full tear down
• Crystal clear flame polished ramp
• Cliffy kit

Description

This legendary electro-mechanical pinball is the higher end commercial 4-player model. Built in 1976, this is the last production year before all pinball machines went to solid state electronics (first generation of the microprocessor). Only 16,155 were ever made, and not too many exist today in this condition.

Captain Fantastic was a “Tommy” inspired game picturing Elton John as pinball champ Captain Fantastic. David Christensen did the artwork for this Bally game, using a lot of bright reds and blues. Piano keyboards appeared throughout the game, which was one of the first featuring custom-designed bumper caps with drawings of Elton John’s face. The back glass pictured a crowd scene based on the movie Tommy. This game also features mirror lines worked into the back glass art for a dazzling reflective effect. The background crowd features some of the artists friends as well as other historical figures. Greg Kmiec created the playfield design, which has a pleasing, uncluttered arrangement of targets and bumpers, plus four flippers.

This machine also comes with a special bonus: matching framed album cover – Elton John and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (which incidentally also won album of the year in 1976).

Restoration

This machine started with a very low 30,000 plays in it’s lifetime – which shows in it’s all original and untouched playfield.  Hairline cracks exist in the paint (as would any play field of this age), but no wear marks.

• Top side playfield was entirely dismantled, cleaned, polished and waxed.
• All posts were replaced
• All rubbers replaced
• All bulbs replaced.
• Plastics cleaned and are crystal clear (no yellowing).
• Pop bumpers were replaced with custom Elton John tops.
• Drop targets were replaces with custom Elton John units.
• Every single wiper contact was cleaned, filed and re-aligned.  This took a long time but necessary for long term reliability.
• New fuse holders.
• New bridge rectifier for bumpers and thumpers
• New flippers (4)
• New flipper mechanisms (4), linkage, wipers etc
• New bell coil (the other 2 worked fine).
• Works exactly like it is supposed to.  All lights, modes, alternating circuits, score wheels, over-the-top buzzer, lockouts etc work perfect.
• coin door and trim polished.  Slight dent in coin door.
• Replaced legs with chrome models
• cabinet just touched up, but no damage and fade.
• Backbox touched up, slight wear on top that was touched up.
• New locks
• Coin mechs and lockout works.

– Sold – 

Just arrived and going through detailed reconstruction.

High End Restore

The one and only – Williams Fish Tales pinball machine.   Williams was (and is still considered) the best pinball maker in the world.  Pinball was at it’s peak in the early 1990’s and the technology Williams designed during that time is STILL being used today on new machines.

The Fish Tales machine is family friendly but also very challenging to master.

The following items are planned for this machine:

• Full cabinet and back box repair
• Full cabinet and back box re-graphic.   ALL Fish Tales machines suffer fading.  This one was no different, but replacing graphics is not easy.  That’s why most have not been refinished.  We are masters at this.
• Full play field tear down and rebuild
• Full LED conversion and under cabinet effects
• Working flapping fish topper
• New legs, hardware
• Rebuilt coin door
• NEW Playfield

Gottlieb, a leading developer of pinball machines in the 60’s and 70’s, kind of lost ground to Bally / Williams in the 80’s.  They did bounce back in the 90’s with modern developments that rivaled their competitors.  In fact, they did it all their way, without blatantly copying the circuits from Williams (as many pinball companies did in the 80’s to mid 90’s).  Gottlieb actually has some unique pinball patents from this era, and their circuit boards are not prone to the same failures as the top earning Williams machines.   However, for one reason or another, Gottlieb machines were always considered 2nd best due to the legacy of producing a decade of ho-hum machines.

Gottlieb battled back in their final years and came out with some great titles rivaling some of the best works from Williams and Bally.  Stargate is considered by most all pinball collectors and reviews as finest machine Gottlieb ever produced.  Many believe that if this machine had a Williams badge, that it would be vaunted to the top 25 pinball best machines of all time.  That’s some pretty good company, and once you see and play this machine, you will also agree.

Features

This machine has some very unique features such as:

• Beautiful 3 dimension backglass with light ring.
• Kicking targets.  They are actually tiny kicker solenoids behind each target.
• Targets that move
• Unique ramps and shots
• Multiple multi-ball modes
• Pyramid that moves and unleashes a hidden animated “glider” figure

Restoration

This machine will go through a full tear down and fully restored.  It will include modern upgrades such as:

• full LEDs for  dramatic and beautiful lighting and visual effects
• modernized light ring in back box
• Full tear down, play field polishing and wax
• Full flipper rebuild
• All rubbers replaced

– more to come –

Comes with our 90-day warranty program

Caddy Shack (the movie), stuff it into a pinball machine = Tee’d Off

This is a great, family fun, reliable pinball machine !

Upgraded with LEDs and custom features.   Includes animated gopher on the top, just like the movie.

The one and only – Guns N Roses (GnR) Pinball by Data East.   This wide-body rock band pinball machine is highly collectible and is very desirable.

Last time we had a GnR pinball machine, it sold in less than a day.    We finally located another one !

Now is the time to get your hands on a ranked top 15 pinball machine of all time!

High Speed II : The Getaway is the re-release of the original High Speed pinball machine from 1986 but with newer technology and more features.  Most times in life, re-releases or second editions of anything do not live up to the original.   Not in this case.  The Getaway is universally celebrated as better than the original in every way.

This Steve Ritchie classic includes all of the original High Speed elements and uses modern pinball technology and his experience to add to this game in every way.

• Awesome sound track and improved fidelity
• Longer lasting playfield – diamond plated
• Dot matrix display
• Supercharger : electro-magnetic/optical accelerator (very cool)

Additionally, we’ve upgraded it even further

• Full custom LEDs in playfield and backbox
• Pincab color match cabinet protectors
• Under cabinet LED lighting flash effects

Restoration

Again, we’ve pulled apart this machine (which was in excellent condition when we received it) and did our restoration.

• New legs and hardware
• All new star posts
• new rubber (white)
• new balls
• new display
• new flippers, linkages and all associated parts
• new plungers and sleeves
• full cleaning, detail and wax
• All inserts are in excellent condition
• No wear on playfield
• Rebuilt coin door
• Original translite is perfect
• Overhead beacon is excellent.
• Full LED conversion including backbox.
• Custom multi-color LED flash under cabinet lighting

Judge Dredd (based off the long time cartoon and then movie release) is one of only 7 Superpins ever made from the Bally/Williams company.

This particular machine comes to us in the best original condition imaginable.  Usually a pinball machine that is 20+ years old is expected to be pretty warn and faded.   This machine is the exception!

Planned Upgrades:

• Full LED conversion.
• Color matched legs and hardware
• Entire machine will be torn down and rebuilt.  Our standard process
• All boards will be rebuilt
• Under cabinet LED lighting effects

This machine is a Home Use Only (HUO) – which means it was purchased new and placed in someone’s home – never to be seen until now.  This means it has very low hours of use, very little play and about as new condition that can be found.  This machine is un-restored, but recently upgraded with LED lighting.  Additionally, the balls have been replaced (due to age) and all the rubbers have been replaced (again due to age).  Other than that, this machine is virtually perfect – and we RARELY ever see HUO machines.

Only 3013 units ever created, and the one of the last pinball machines ever to roll off Bally/Williams/Midway production lines before they closed their doors for good.  What a way to capture an essentially new machine from the best pinball makers in the world – ever.

Ok, so what’s the deal with the early Bally solid state games lately?  Well, we just could not resist.  Mata Hari just is an amazing piece of functional furniture that captures the era perfectly, and this machine is just ripe for a high end restoration.

As taken from ipdb.org:  “Margaretha Zelle (1876-1917) was born in the Netherlands and established herself as a successful exotic dancer, traveling all over Europe under the name Mata Hari. During WWI she consorted with high-ranking officers, both German and French, which ultimately led to her being executed as a spy.”

This machine has the limited run backglass with the dagger inscription – in mint condition.

This machine also is the solid state version with the chime bar sounds… for the best of both worlds.  Get the classic sounds with the reliability of solid state electronics.

Planned restoration:

• New playfield restoration with all new topside parts
• Fully restored cabinet with hand painted artwork
• New coin door and shooter hardware
• New chrome legs
• LED conversion for long lasting – cool operation.
• New circuit boards.

This high end restoration will be a fraction of the cost that our competitors charge.

Call or email to inquire.  Pictures and updates to continue through Nov 2012

The infamous Japanese arcade company, Sega, purchased Data East Pinball in around 1994 in attempt to increase their product portfolio (I imagine).  They were vastly successful in designing video games through out the years, but really had no experience in pinball.  Fortunately, all Sega pinball were actually the latest Data East designs.  Sega had massive name recognition and were able to get licensing from movie studios for their machines.

Sega launched 3 very innovative pinball machines (Baywatch, Frankenstein and Maverick) soon after with double size DMD displays that were very expensive, but allowed for the machines to have awesome animation.

Maverick

This machine is based around the movie Maverick for name recognition.  Fortunately, the game play and rules were designed to last forever.  This machine is based around the rules of poker and uses lots of innovative drop targets in order to create your hands.  This is a skill shooter’s pinball machine, but is also very fun for beginners because it has lots of great animations and a great light show.

There have been many poker based pinball machines in the past, but Maverick stands alone for the use of the super DMD.

Restoration

This machine has lived in the home environment for many years.  It does not have any signs of abuse, security hasps or beer/water stains.   It did change hands twice, so it did get a couple of bumps and bruises in transportation, but they were all professionally repaired.

• Cabinet is a 9.5/10.  No damage on the cabinet sides or front at all.  Full color without fade.
• Backbox had a couple chips that were repaired and color matched.
• We did repaint the inside of the cabinet and back box in order to give it a new modern look.
• Playfield fully stripped, detailed and waxed
• New rubbers
• New balls
• Converted to LED lighting
• Ramp flame polished
• New drop target stickers
• Replaced broken targets
• Replaced opto-coupler sensors that usually go out on this machine

Arctic Thunder is an incredible sledding simulator that takes players through amazing tracks featuring secret short cuts, hair raising free-fall drops and rewarding power ups to give players an extreme edge. Players race to the finish mastering tricks, dodging missiles and launching attacks. In addition to superior graphics and the snowmobile-like cabinet design with a built-in fan and seat shaker enhance the action-packed game play. As players apply a steady throttle to the handlebar, the sled accelerates, the seat rumbles and the fan blows a thin wind of cold air in your face, making Arctic Thunder the most realistic racer to date!

Machine separates into 2 manageable pieces, both on wheels for easy transportation and setup.

In the 1980’s, there were 2 kinds of game configurations in the arcade:  Horizontal and Vertical.   What does this mean?

Game video monitors were slightly rectangular with a 4:3 aspect ratio  This ratio was the same as CRT TV sets of this era as they used the same tube, but with different electronics.   As such, some games were designed with the monitor in it’s vertical orientation (meaning the smaller side on the top and bottom)… and some games designed in the horizontal orientation, like how a TV set was configured.

Games that were designed for one orientation do not work for the opposite configuration.   Meaning, you cannot play pacman on a horizontal monitor, or Defender on a vertical orientation.

With that said, some games have been converted to work in either horizontal or vertical modes, but this is a limited case.

The Multi-Williams multicade arcade plays the classic horizontal games such as Joust,Robotron, Defender, StarGate.

See the whole list HERE

This game is all NEW:

• Professional / Commercial arcade cabinet (Williams Style).
• Multi-Williams graphics package
• 2 joysticks, and misc buttons
• Matching monitor bezel and marquee
• Addition of trackball
• New 19″ LCD arcade monitor, mounted horizontally
• Deluxe arcade JAMMA arcade board.

If you want to find more information about a game title, use this handy webpage (Arcade Museum – Killer List of Video Games)

We can upgrade your commercial arcade game to the 60-in-1 multicade.

This assumes you have a working arcade monitor, joystick, Player 1/2 start buttons.   Optimal use is to have 2 to 3 Jump/Fire buttons

This kit

• New power supply
• New JAMMA harness
• New 60-n-1 Multicade board
• Includes removing and replacing all internal wiring

As one of the last efforts by Bally and Williams (also known as Midway) to keep pinball alive was to create new and involving pinball machines.  The NBA Fastbreak is the only basketball themed pinball machine by the masters of pinball.  Recently Stern came out with an NBA pinball machine, but many view it as an inferior knock off.

This NBA Fastbreak has a very unique mechanical backbox where it shoots baskets while you play, and in one mode, you control the action of both the backbox and real game.  Not many pinball machines use the backbox for anything else but score.

Additionally, this machine has dual scoring (pinball score and baskets), which make this one of the best multi-player pinball games ever.  Typically, pinball machines are best played as single player, but have the option for up to 4 players.  This machine plays BEST with more than one player.  Of course it has all the great features of modern pinball such as multiple multi-ball modes and missions to accomplish.   Play at around midnight each night for a completely awesome surprise and chance to score big points.

Fully restored to like-new condition.

Backbox:  a couple paint blemishes but no damage at all.  All corners are perfect.

Cabinet:  no fade.   There is a small chip in the center bottom where it appears the prior owner removed an aftermarket sticker improperly and nicked the cabinet.  It will be un-noticeable when we paint match the issue.  Also, there is a small chunk of wood missing under the right rear leg.  It is completely covered with the leg on.

Playfield: literally perfect.  Zero damage or wear.  Even the inlane and outlanes look brand new.  See pictures.

Only 4414 units were ever made and this gem as become very hard to find now that people are on to how great this machine is.

Restoration

This machine was generally in good condition when we purchased it, but it still had plenty of issues.  Apparently the operator borrowed pieces from this machine to service another, so we had to re-purchase all of those parts to make it whole again.  Sometimes, I wonder what they were thinking.

• Full tear down and rebuild
• All ramps flame polished
• All new pop bumpers – these were destroyed
• many new VUKs
• new defender plastic
• new slingshot plastic
• new balls
• new rubber in white
• LED conversion
• repair of backbox mechanism
• replaced trough assembly
• replaced slingshot assembly
• repaired left ramp (around the back jam shot).  This ramp is always cracked at the basket, and currently no new parts are available.  When this ramp goes back into reproduction, this game will be flawless.
• repaired scoring LED circuit
• repaired various optos in the player-pass mechanisms
• refinished coindoor with new lock
• new legs and hardware

** We can also give this machine the Castle Classic Arcade exclusive

under cabinet LED flash kit for unbelieveable 16 color flash effect **

NFL Blitz 2000 Gold is arguably the best sports game ever created for the arcade.  Nintendo went on to re-release this game for the home console market… but failed to capture the shoulder to shoulder up-close action of the original arcade.  3D graphics, awesome sound and intricate game plays make this arcade an instant classic.  This is the latest of the NFL Blitz series which has expanded play selection and more features than the original release.  This is also the perfect companion to Golden Tee or our MultiPAC units for a consistent and symmetric look for your game room.

All NFL Blitz models get the typical Castle Classic Arcade treatment:

• full teardown
• monitor replacement
• control panel teardown and rebuild
• Graphics package (if not already on cabinet)
• Cabinet repair and repaint
• Rebuilt coin door, mechanisms and new locks.

You can also upgrade this machine to the latest model NFL Blitz 200 Gold / NBA on NBC Showtime machine.  This package combines both NFL and NBA arcade games into ONE machine.  This package is rare and parts may be limited.  Please inquire before ordering.

All Castle Classic Arcade NFL Blitz arcade systems come with

• 4 Player – 49way optical controls for precise movement unlike any other arcade.
• LED backlit buttons for the coolest effect ever
• 90 day warranty on parts.  In-home warranty service is free in local delivery area

Note: Graphics packages and game board versions may vary.  Call to inquire about our current inventory

Options: This system also extremely benefits from our arcade game subwoofer upgrade.

Note:   NFL Blitz 2000 / NBA Showtime 4-Player arcade comes already equipped with the subwoofer upgrade

If you like (love) Golf, Pinball and the movie Caddy Shack, then you need to own a No Good Gophers machine.   Even though this machine was never officially tied to the movie, there is no doubt a connection.   This machine is fun, funny and exciting.

Unique features:

• Gophers pop out of the playfield and taunt you.   You need to hit them to disappear and behind them are the ramps and entrances to other areas.
• Slam Ramp Jump – when enabled, the ramp comes down and you can launch your ball up to the hole… if you are lucky you will get a hole-in-one.

This game is designed by the legendary Pat Lawlor –  and his machines never disappoint!

Limited production to 2711 machines made world wide!    So this is a pretty rare machine to own!

Planned Upgrades

• Full tear down and rebuild
• Full LED conversion
• Under cabinet LED lighting effects
• New legs and hardware

You are more than welcome to come pick up your arcade games from our facility.  We’ll let you know when the machines will be ready.

We prefer you pick up your machines within 10 business days after completion.

Call or email us to schedule a time.

We are now offering a flat price for converting a pinball machine to full LED!

LED Facts:

• LEDs look way better, are brighter and flash faster – which is visually more stimulating.  Using these radically modernizes a pinball machine.  You’ll never play a regular pinball machine again once you see the before and after differences.  They are that dramatic!
• LEDs conserve power – which means they are better on your machine.  Even if you do not care about power savings ($$), the mere fact that using LEDs on your machine will preserve the life of the power supply, logic boards and wiring harnesses.
• LEDs do not emit heat.  This is also a major factor in pinball preservation.  Standard incandescent bulbs get so hot they actually will melt the plastic housings and put burn marks on the wood playfield.

What About Older Pinball Machines?

We will convert ANY pinball machine to LEDs.  Many machines were not wired correctly for the use of LEDs (either polarity issues or circuit issues).  We know how to correct that!

System 11 Flashers:  We also know how to properly convert Williams SYSTEM 11 based pinball machines to use LED flashers!  Don’t worry, these conversions are designed by a veteran Software and Electrical Engineer – so you know they will be done right.   You’ll note that all other companies selling LED kits will NOT include flashers for anything previous to the DMD era machines.

Price includes all LEDs and installation at our facility.   On-site installation is available as well.

We are now offering a flat rate service for “shopping” your pinball machine.  This service is typically used for machines that have been played for a while and now need attention to get them back fully working again.

What Machines

All electro-mechanical pinball machines

All solid state pinball machines

Note:  pinball machines must be complete without parts missing.  If pinball machines are non-functional, additional charges may be incurred for repairing damaged boards etc.  We will not perform any unauthorized service that would incur additional charges.

What You Get

Our flat rate service includes:

• New rubbers
• New ball(s)
• New flipper linkages for tight and accurate action.
• New coil sleeves on all worn/sticky flippers, VUKs, sling shots etc
• New locks
• Ramp repair, cleaning and flame polishing (so they are clear and close to new condition).
• Plastic repair and cleaning
• Corrosion cleaning on all wire form ramps
• Replacement of all dead/tired bulbs
• Full playfield cleaning, detail and wax
• Coin door repair and restoration (including working coin mechanisms)
• Repair of any burned / damaged wiring harnesses and connectors.

• New plastic sets or slingshot plastics (most commonly damaged plastics)
• New DMD display

Generally, time to completion is 3 days from time of pickup / drop off pinball machine.  Time may vary due to hard to find parts or extra work requested.

Ok, so you’ve upgraded your machine to LEDs, and it’s awesome.  Now you want more, right?  Well, we’re right with you!

You can now have additional lighting effects under your machine for a fully immersive experience!  These full length LED strips are added strategically under the pinball machine (mounted to the bottom) and wired into the flash circuitry.    So when you hit just the right combination, loop or special shot, the whole room lights up along with the playfield.  Every machine is different and only video can even come close to explaining the effect.

We can color match RED, BLUE, GREEN, WHITE, YELLOW and PURPLE effects in all combinations!

Note: this is not the same kit you see on other pinball sites.  This is not background lighting – but is flash effect lighting.  We of course can do static background lighting for the same cost as it is way easier to install.

Price includes parts and installation at our location.  On-site installation is available in our local delivery area at our hourly rate.

Ripley’s (RBION) is one of my most favorite machines designed by the legendary Pat Lawlor (and artwork by John Youssi).  This machine has ALWAYS been said to be the Twilight Zone of pinball made by STERN – and I could not agree more.    You may not even understand the game for a month before it really starts making sense.  It is one of the most rewarding games to play well and keeps you coming back to play time and time again.

This particular machine is in fantastic original condition.  Just a minor scuff on the side of the backbox, but otherwise all original.   The playfield has no wear and all original, unbroken plastic.

The entire machine has been stripped, waxed and detailed.  Followed up by new rubber, balls and a full custom LED replacement.  We’ve done some creative work with the lighting as well.

The backbox fluorescent bulb has been replaced by custom LED lighting that slowly changes over time.

As well, the under cabinet LEDs are synchronized to the effects on the playfield for very dramatic play.

The grand daddy of them all : Ferrari F355 Challenge racing simulator – now at 50% off ! The lowest price for this machine in the country!

This machine was designed from the ground up a simulator by the designer who himself is a Ferrari enthusiast.  This machine is vastly different from all other driving machines as it was intended to be a real-life simulator, without exaggerated physics.  You could actually learn how to drive with this machine, and without a doubt, would make teens better at the wheel of a car.

Also, this machine is fun, which is the best part.  Since we all don’t have ready access to cars which cost $250k, this is the next best thing.  With this machine, you and a friend can race side-by-side on real life tracks.  Use automatic or paddle shifting, and even adjust the ABS, Traction Control, Stability Control, and Intelligent Brake System.   System has force feedback steering, stereo sound with subwoofer and full size 29″ monitors.

Additionally, both machines are topped with a huge Ferrari F355 challenge header, which by far is the coolest thing I’ve seen on an arcade.

This machine cost close to $20,000 new and is still selling for over $7k.   We’re pricing this machine to move quickly.  Put this in your home and you’ll have friends young and old want to play it.  Put this in your restaurant or bar and people will drive across town.  Because of the low production numbers and Ferrari collectors keeping them in their man-caves, you will not likely find one in public, especially at this price.

Features:

• TWO separate driving simulators.  Drive separately or linked to drive against each other
• 29″ full size monitors
• Full size sit down, like a car.  Adjustable seat
• Paddle or automatic shifting
• ABS, Traction Control, Stability Control, and Intelligent Brake System selective controls
• Multiple real life tracks
• Training, Practice and Race modes
• Stereo sound with subwoofer in each car
• Full size lit topper spans entire machine
• Machine separates into 3 parts for easier moving.  Simulators are on wheels for moving
• Coin or free play centralized between machines.

• Force feedback steering
• The most authentic driving simulator created for the arcade.  Drive a real Ferrari F355 !

Note:  This is an oversized item and shipping will be more than a standard arcade.  We will work with you, call us.  Also, at this price, it’s worth driving to pick up!

Pictures and video coming soon.  Note, current pictures are for reference only and are not the actual machine

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Created by Sega (also known as Stern during this transition).

Only 3000 of these machines were produced world wide.

This machine also has a unique OVERSIZED digital matrix display.  Normal DMD displays are 128×32.  This one is 192×64 which allows for better graphics and animations.  And since this essentially a new machine, this display runs perfect and will not need to be replaced.

This machine is HOME USE ONLY.  Which is a rare find.  This means the machine has never been in public use and was purchased for the home when new.  That means it has very low plays and is essentially a [10/10] in condition and quality.  You will know it is effectively new as soon as you see it.

We will also be updating this machine to current standards to make it even better (if that’s possible):

• Replace all rubber
• Detail and wax
• Add leg/cabinet protectors (increases the life of the machine)
• Add button protectors (increases the life of the machine)
• Replace all incandescent bulbs with color LEDs
• Replace all flash bulbs with high energy LEDs
• Replace all balls
• Under cabinet LED flash effects.  Dramatically enhances game play

Check back soon for pictures and video – or call/email to reserve before it’s gone.   This machine will be ready for pickup/delivery in 5-7 business days.

The Star Trek Next Generation (STTNG) pinball machine is still rated top 3 games of all time.

This very rare pinball machine is actually a re-release or modernization of Bally’s legendary pinball machine: Eight Ball Deluxe. Sharkey’s updates are obvious: DMD, multiball, modern cabinet, better lighting and effects etc.

This is the most modern pool themed pinball machine created, and with the aid of Incredible Technologies (the makers of Golden Tee and Silver Strike Bowling), was designed with high quality parts and improved game play.  Actual production numbers of this machine are not quite known, but expected to be less than 2000 world wide!  However, since this is a STERN product, parts and service will always be available for this machine.

Stern pinball machines are great, however they did cut a couple of corners to save money.  Thankfully a large cost saver was in eliminating the backbox lighting.  The backbox insert (which housed many incandescent bulbs and flashers) was replaced by a single fluorescent tube lamp.   The result is that the backbox artwork does not have any animation and that the lighting is way overpowered.

With our kit, we replace the single tube lamp with multiple full length strips of LED lighting.   We also select a portion of the backglass where you can customize the color and select different color changing effects.

Price includes installation – at our facility and is not available as an over-the-counter item.  On-site installation is available at the hourly rate in the local delivery area.

Only a handful of arcade games ever produced were ever properly equipped for the use of a subwoofer.  If you could listen and feel the difference, you would undoubtedly wonder why they ever left the factory without one.

Games such as Golden Tee and NFL Blitz just come to life when equipped with this upgrade.

Upgrade includes

• 80W subwoofer
• wired remote for volume, bass level and overall speaker level (which controls the main 2 stereo speakers)
• JAMMA audio level converter
• Mounting and wiring.   Subwoofer is permanently attached inside the cabinet so that you can lay down and move the machine without worry

Add this package to any machine from our inventory, except the MultiPAC where it is already included.

Arguably one of the most beautiful pinball machines ever made.   This limited run machine (3128 made world wide) is from an era when pinball started becoming a collector only hobby.

These machines are hard to find, and their prices reflect their exclusivity.

Here’s what’s going on with this machine:

• Stripped playfield, repaired and clearcoated
• Chromed playfield items (skill shot, scimitar shooter)
• Original cabinet artwork.  Corrected and protected
• New cabinet hardware (lockdown, rails, legs etc)
• LED conversion including under cabinet LED flash effects

On deck for end 2018:  Williams Taxi

We have some really interesting customizations planned for this build.

• Cabinet fully stripped, repaired and re-decaled with authentic graphics
• Playfield ripped down, sanded, custom painted and new custom graphics applied (lola).   This play field is long out of production so new ones are not available world wide.   This process allows us to recreate the same play field and protect it better than new.
• New topper, hardware, plastics
• Full LED conversion top. bottom and under cabinet
• Custom color legs to accentuate the NY Taxi era.
• New game MPU and driver boards

We estimate this will take 6-8 weeks.  Most of this time is spent with passes on the play field and time for the clear coat to gas out.

Deposit accepted of $1000 and balance paid at time of shipment.   We also allow for lay-away plans and periodic payments at 0% interest.

NEW UPDATE for 2015

We have received our 1st of 3 brand new Bride of Pinbot play fields from Germany.   More than 3 years waiting for these to be designed and built.  The reality is likely less than 100 will be made world-wide for this machine… which suffers from play field wear as the original game did not come with clear coat protection.

So – we will be offering these machines as a FULL REBUILD with all new playfield, new plastic parts and fully decked out cabinet.   The prices reflected below are adjusted for this one shot opportunity to get your hands on a WAY BETTER THAN NEW Bride of Pinbot.

ETA late summer 2015 for finished products.   We will only have 2 available for purchase.

The Bride of pinbot (BOP) is a unique machine in all of pinball.  This is the second in the Pinbot series, and arguably the best one of the group.  Only 8100 units were ever created.

This is the only pinball machine that shares the same circuitry as the legendary Williams Funhouse, and if you haven’t noticed, Funhouse has exploded in value by almost 2x in the last year.  We expect the unique nature of this game and lineage to follow the same value trend.

Bride of Pinbot shares much of it’s playfield similarities with Pinbot and Jackbot, where the right side contains the skill shot.  They also share the concept of a translucent mini pachinko style upper playfield on top of the 3 pop bumpers.  The rest is all unique to the BOP.

The main playfield toy takes up a good portion of the back of the game:  the 4 faces of the Bride of Pinbot. This object is a large spinning cube that also doubles as a mini playfield used to lock balls and show the state of metamorphosis.  The object of the game is to guide the Bride through her multiple stages in becoming human, to the dismay of her husband Pinbot.  Only videos can truly show what this is all about.  Add to this one excellent techno-inspired sound track and light show.   The special backglass is created to show lightshow animations as well as point values.

This game is fun and tough because of it’s quick ramps and short playfield area in front of the flippers .  Nothing like this game will ever be reproduced again.

NEW BoP Restoration

This machine has gone through it’s own metamorphosis:

• Fully restored cabinet and back box – repaired and all new artwork.  Looks like new!
• New coin door and lock.
• All new playfield plastic ramps
• All new chrome Bride helmet
• All new pop bumper assemblies
• All new plastics
• New 2nd playfield
• New main playfield and super clear coat
• New flippers, bushings, linkages, sleeves and contacts.
• New balls
• Spinning head fully disassembled, cleaned and re-adjusted for perfect play and alignment.
• Full custom LED kit.  We went through a lot of combinations to get a unique experience only found on a BOP.
• Custom under cabinet lighting to match the theme of the Bride of Pinot
• New chrome legs with matching leg cabinet protectors round out a fantastic visual appearance.

Pictures coming soon of new playfield (June 2015)

— DUE TO BACKLOG – WE ARE TEMPORARILY HOLDING OFF FROM MORE CHASSIS REPAIRS —

If you a have a Wells Gardner 25″ or 27″ monitor that needs repair, send us the chassis (and all connected components) and we’ll repair and upgrade it back to new condition.

If we can’t fix it quick, we’ll send it back at no charge to you.

Requirements

• Must be Wells Gardner brand u2000, u5000, k7400 or k7500 monitor chassis.
• Must include neck board
• Must include wired remote control board
• Must not have burn damage.
• Must be complete.  If you have removed significant portions of the circuitry, we will not repair it.
• Do not send the entire monitor.  You need to know how to remove the chassis and neck board.
• Please pack carefully.  A midsize USPS box should fit everything fine with proper packaging

What You Get

How

Submit your order, and we will immediately send you a shipping address.

A single arcade monitor chassis will fit perfectly in a USPS flat rate box.  Wrap the neck board with a layer of bubble wrap separately from the main board.  Pack it with a layer of packing peanuts.  Please include the wired remote.

Please read our on-line blog on how to remove/reconnect your wells gardner arcade chassis.

Periodically, we have some time and do full restorations on Wells Gardner k7500 medium resolution arcade chassis that we do not need for our own projects.

This chassis is typically used in games such as Golden Tee Fore, Golden Tee Complete, San Francisco Rush (all models), Midway Cruisin, Silver Strike Bowling (non-flat tube models), Midway Gauntlet Legacy/Dark Legends, NFL Blitz (97,99, 2000 Gold, and Blitz 2000 / NBA  Showtime Combo), Atari War.  Some of these machines may have initially been outfitted with Wells Gardner u5000 or Neotec 2501/2701 monitors, but were swapped out with the newer Wells Gardner k7500 during their lifetime.

Monitor chassis and neck board will be fully restored and in excellent physical and working condition.

Note: This chassis can ONLY be used to replace a Wells Gardner k7500.  Attempting to put this on another Wells Gardner tube will likely blow components on the boards.

Note: this requires a medium level of confidence and skill in working with electronics and high voltage circuits.  If you do not know how to remove a monitor or chassis from a monitor, this is probably not for you as you will likely damage the circuit board incorrectly wiring it up, or worse yet, hurt yourself.

Let us know if this is to be used in a 27″ monitor as it requires an additional pin cushion circuit board.

For Wells Gardner 25″ and 27″ chassis: U2000, U5000, k7400 and k7500 only

This P719 arcade monitor neck board has been out of production for many years and is one of the first items that need to be replaced on these monitors. This neck board houses the color transistors, video IC and associated logic to control the Red/Green/Blue guns and heater circuit.

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, your neck board needs replacement:

* missing primary color (red, blue or green)
* adjusting contrast up smears the image
* cannot get enough contrast, but the contrast adjustment POT is showing some change on the screen
* In some cases, replacing the neck board may fix white screen with no image problem

If you are unsure, you may send your entire Wells Gardner monitor chassis to Castle Classic Arcade for repair (or trade in if in repairable condition). See our services section for arcade chassis repair…

April 15, 2019 – Update  : 1 remaining, price reduced

Will you challenge the Black Knight again?

We just completed a full “stealth” Black Knight for a customer, and loved it so much, we’re doing 2 more!

Please see the restoration thread for how the machine will be completed.

Restoration Details:

• Cabinet and head fully stripped, repaired, and repainted using 5 stage automotive paint process
• Many new plastics, posts, rubber and balls.   (graphic plastics are no longer available, so we have sourced perfect condition original plastics)
• New MPU, DRIVER and Power Supply boards.   This is a new process which allows Black Knight to finally play properly (see note below).
• Full LED conversion
• New legs and many hardware pieces

Also included in this price are the following options:

1. New Williams licensed Black Knight back-glass ($400)
2. Playfield fully stripped, sanded down and new graphics applied.   ($1500)

Note:  Black Knight is a special version of Williams System 7 design.  Many companies have been trying to reproduce the MPU board without success and cannot seem to get the game to work properly.  Apparently, there are some nuances in the original design and layout of the MPU board that allow the game to operate properly with all the sounds etc.   Only one company has decided to re-release the original game board set exactly with the same components and layout in order to properly reproduce the Black Knight experience.   Now, we can finally release this game in restored form and not have to rely on old/worn out circuit boards from 1980.

Williams started a whole new lineup of pinball machines based on the System 11 hardware.   High Speed was the first machine to use this new hardware, which was way more reliable than the prior generation.  In fact, this hardware is equal to if not more reliable than the latest hardware created by Williams/Bally in the 90’s

This machine is a true classic based on an actual occurrence between the designer Steve Ritchie and the local law enforcement.  High Speed is a car guy’s go-to machine and it really is very enjoyable.   Some would argue that it plays better than it’s sequel, High Speed II – The Getaway.

This machine will get the following restoration:

• Cabinet and back box restoration with 5-step automotive paint process.
• New legs and hardware
• restored coin door
• Playfield tear down, re-graphic and clear coated
• LED conversion
• New plastics where possible
• LED under cabinet upgrade

This machine will look and play BETTER than it ever came off the factory floor

The classic PIN*BOT is now for sale.

This item only required mild restoration from it’s original condition

• Cabinet was in good original condition and was worth saving.  Corrected some minor blemishes and protected with satin clear coat
• Original play field stripped of mylar and buffed.
• New plastics, ramp, bumpers, starposts, rubber
• Full LED conversion and circuit correction.  This machine suffers from one minor flaw in the lighting design near the eye sockets.  Fixed !
• New legs and hardware
• All new circuit boards!  MPU and Power supply!

The F14 Tomcat pinball machine is one of the fastest, brutal and most rewarding pinball machines of the entire era.

Steve Ritchie and Williams really put a lot of effort in making the game unique, hard and high tech.  The theme, sound effects, music and most importantly, lighting, make this machine the adrenaline junkies go-to game of the 80’s.  If you can find one in good condition, with current technology upgrades and a fresh coat of wax, this machine will compete with any current game for some of the fastest ball times.

The F14 Tomcat generally comes in two flavors – production and pre-production / prototype.   They are effectively the same machine, but the pre-production games have clear flasher lenses and overhead domes.  The proto models come with extra flashers populated in the upper playfield area.

During production, Williams felt that the original proto/pre-production clear lenses were too bright for general population so they were changed out for red lenses where possible.   Pre-production games are more rare and sought after, and thus are priced accordingly.

Restoration Process

• Cabinet repainted and stenciled  (or touched up if original cabinet is in excellent condition)
• Automotive clear coat final coat to protect and lock in the colors on the cabinet and backbox
• New legs, hardware and cabinet protectors
• Refinished coin door assembly with new locks
• Replaced plastics that are broken or missing
• Full play field tear down.  Mylar removed.  Polished and waxed
• New standoffs
• New rubber
• New balls
• All metal polished
• Full LED replacement.
• Full Flasher LED replacement.    System 11 games cannot just accept flasher LEDs without knowing how to install them in the circuit correctly.   Fortunately, with over 20 years of Electrical Engineering experience, we know how to do this correctly.
• Full under cabinet LED light effects.  Even add further to the light show !
• New flippers and mechanisms
• New coil sleeves
• All circuitry removed and rebuilt.  All prior electrical hacks removed and brought back to factory wiring specs
• Original plasma displays if possible (or replaced with LED displays if required)

We have ONE early pre-production model available.  It has the original playfield in super condition AND is running the PROTO firmware code.  It still has the PROTO labels!    This model also has ALL NEW plastics which are no longer available!

Williams developed some of the best pinball machines in the late 80’s to early 90’s … called System-11 machines.   This is arguably one of the most sought after System 11 games from the era.

A pure classic

• Original cabinet and backbox nicely restored and protected
• New legs and hardware
• New LED display
• Rebuilt circuit boards
• Full LED conversion
• New fan and topper with custom lighting
• Under cabinet lighting effects
• New shooter and rubber
• Original playfield in super condition

Steve Ritchie and Williams pinball go back a long way.  His award winning designs include:

• Firepower  (1980 Williams)
• Defender (Co-concept with E. Jarvis) (1980 Williams)
• Black Knight  (1980 Williams)
• Hyperball  (1981 Williams)
• Devastator (1983 Williams Video Game)
• High Speed  (1985 Williams)
• F-14 Tomcat  (1987 Williams)
• Black Knight 2000  (1989 Williams)
• Rollergames  (1990 Williams)
• Terminator 2: Judgment Day  (1991 Williams)
• High Speed II – The Getaway (1992 Williams)
• Star Trek: The Next Generation (1993 Williams)
• No Fear: Dangerous Sports (1995 Williams)

Restoration

This No Fear was left alone in the dark for awhile, but that’s good for you!  The result is a well preserved original playfield and cabinet.

We fully disassembled this machine and worked on literally every part to bring this back to life.

• Every board was removed, re-soldered, repaired as necessary and tested.  All wiring labeled and tested.  CPU board is trouble free without any battery corrosion damage.  Nice!!
• Each ramp removed, flame polished (including the subway ramp under the playfield), polished and repaired as necessary.  The main ramp typically gets hairline cracks from the impact of the jump ramp and heat damage from the electro-magnet accelerators.
• Talking skull fully disassembled, re-aligned and new micro coil/sleeve assembly inserted.  Custom red LED eyes and blue skull flashers used.  It’s awesome.
• Entire playfield stripped, detailed, waxed.  No wear.  No Fear!
• All new rubbers (white), including yellow ramp post rubber.  You have to fully disassemble this machine to get to all the rubbers.  Many people just do the ones you can see and reach with simple tools (not us).
• All optics cleaned and tested.  This machine uses a lot of optical sensors.
• New coil sleeves on high wear items such as drop target and shooter/kickback.
• New shooter and kickback
• New No Fear button (with LED)
• New switch on drop target.
• Rebuilt coin door
• Full custom LEDs in backbox, playfield and front buttons.  A MUST for this machine.
• New flippers, linkages, and all associated parts.  Including the custom JUMP RAMP flipper.  Most people ignore this.
• New slingshot plastics.  All other plastics are excellent.

Pin*BOT and Bride of Pin*BOT have created a son: Jack*BOT.   He’s very much like his father but has a gambling problem.

No really, Jack*BOT is a re-creation of the original game Pin*BOT, but with modern rules, DMD display and more to do.  Take the original machine and make it better.  This is a must by itself or completes the trio

Restoration Details:

• Nicely restored cabinet and backbox.   (Backbox did have a small repair on the back that is not noticeable)
• Playfield is in SUPER condition.  Unlike Pin*BOT, this playfield is clearcoated and almost NEVER wears.
• Many new plastic parts
• LED conversion and under cabinet lighting effects
• all circuit boards restored and certified.

If you know anything about pinball, you’ve heard of Williams Funhouse.   The one with the talking dummy head in the middle of the playfield?

Well, the designer (Pat Lawlor) of Funhouse was given full run of the shop and came out with it’s sequel: Road Show.

Road Show has TWO talking dummies on the playfield, both of which talk smack to each other and to you.  They are fully animated and watch the ball as it travels inside the game.   They also can swallow and spit up the ball and are integral parts of the game.

Roadshow is also one of the few wide-body machines ever made by Williams in the 90’s, which allows for more room to put just about everything the designer could think of from all his past successes into this machine.   The result is one of the craziest and complicated machines ever made.   We also own one in our game demo room – which we refuse to sell.  Thankfully, we have another!

Restoration will include:

• Full tear down, clean and polish
• Replacement of all standoff plastic
• Replacement of all available broken specialty plastics
• Full conversion to LED lighting
• Full repair of all circuit boards back to factory condition
• Under cabinet custom LED flash effects (Castle Classic Arcade exclusive)

Available late Feb 2014.    Contact us to reserve this machine before it’s gone…

We don’t usually deal with shuffle alley bowlers, but this machine was too cool.  Not only that, it is built with all pinball parts and circuits from Williams – so the machine is reliable and repairable for years and years in the future.

This machine has seen the following Castle Classic Arcade treatment:

• Cabinet repair and repaint.
• New pin striping
• Completely replaced 6 player score display with LED boards and drivers.  Will last forever
• Buffed playfield and rewaxed
• New puck
• New can of shuffle alley wax.

This machine will ship locally without disassembly.  However, if you need to move it up stairs, the machine comes apart in 4 simple sections with only a handful of external bolts.  All wiring simply detaches with simple connectors.

Priced below our competitors, yet this machine is nicer!

April 15, 2019

What we have here is a fully restored Funhouse pinball machine with an original Diamond Plate playfield.   Many of you know that the Diamond Plate playfield was an early production and limited to just 200 games.   We found this playfield many years ago and placed it in storage for future restoration…

That’s not the whole story here.  This restored pinball machine has many more unique restored items :

• Original SunProcess playfield – stamped Oct 1990.   This playfield was additionally lightly restored and fully protected with multiple stages of automotive clear coat.  Then the playfield was stored for another year for curing before hardware was attached
• Cabinet and back box were fully restored with new graphics, new legs, new stainless hardware and coin door
• New plastics and ramps
• NEW OLD STOCK Williams driver board was sourced (never used) from a Williams pinball developer (name withheld for privacy reasons)
• New display
• LED Conversion and under cabinet effects

This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase one of the most sought after classic pinball machines – with one of the most rare and desirable playfields ever created.  Note: the last 2 DP Funhouse playfields on the market sold for an excess of $2100 alone

Description

Another excellent example of a Bally pinball machine.  This WPC generation pinball machine is one of the few sports related pinball machines of the era.  At first glance, this machine appears to look easy and simple minded as the apparent goal is to shoot pinballs past the moving goalie.  Play it a couple more times and you’ll find that this machine is much much deeper with a larger purpose in mind – to beat Germany and win the World Cup.

This pinball machine actually has 2 unique playfield toys: a center mounted goal in the far back of the machine with a moving goalie.  The goalie is also a playfield target, so the machine reacts when you strike him, or in some modes, the idea is to hit the moving goalie.

The other toy is the large spinning soccer ball.  This ball will spin in either direction and will deflect pinballs all over the playfield.  Hit it right and you can score a wild shot past the goalie.

This machine integrates awesome video animations on the large 128×32 DMD display that are timed perfectly with the game play.  This machine also has a unique set of multi-ball modes unique to this machine.

World Cup Soccer also has one of the better light shows with use of deep color elements all over.

There are 2 levels of ramps that are smooth and fast.  At one end is a unique ball lock mechanism powered by an electro-magnet.

This machine is a favorite with beginners because of the playful nature, but very fun and rewarding for the advanced pinball enthusiast.

Only 8,743 units produced.

Restoration

This machine went through a deep restoration process.  More so than many of our machines.  Other than the typical full top side teardown and replacement of rubber pieces, this machine has:

• New purple playfield ejection cups.
• All ramps in perfect condition were flame polished for clarity
• New ramp direction linkages
• New goalie target and decals
• New decals on standup targets and spinner
• All annodized gold items were turned chrome: wiremold ramp, skill shot, legs.  We believe this machine looks a ton better in chrome than with the gaudy gold annodized parts.
• New thumper plastics and skill shot diverter
• Cliffy protectors installed on all ejection cups, start holes and goal.
• coin door fully rebuilt
• Full custom LED in playfield, back box, coin door and buttons.
• new start button
• new balls
• new flipper buttons
• all new flippers and full linkage mechanisms
• new locks
• electronics in super original condition.  Display is ultra bright and crisp.
• custom hand rebuilt soccer ball by us.  Hand painted and clear coated.  No wear!!!!   You wont see another like this.
