Pinball Machine Repair and Maintenance

$250 seems like a very good deal. Where did you luck into it? Craigslist, someone you knew?

I like Space Shuttle. One of my friends has one. It came out right about the time of pinballs I liked. What I mean is, most older machines really don't interest me. I at least like some ramps and speech on pinball machines and system 9 machines and newer are right up my alley.

I see CPR has Space Shuttle playfields open for preorder. As much touchup as that playfield needs I would almost think a repro playfield would be the way to go. The bad part of that is I've heard that they keep the pre-orders open until they get enough people signed up to get them...then they make them. It might be quite a wait.

Throw in a new plastic set and you have a practically new game for under $1000 total. You could always clean yours up as good as you could and just keep your eye on the playfield release...like I said...i might be quite a wait on it.

Congrats on your purchase.

I got it from a church who had a game room that they were liquidating as they were moving facilities. Just drove an hour to pick it up in the truck, after a minor battery replacement on the board, it powered right up. I may see about a repro, but I may put my artistic skills to the test first and see about touching it up and waxing it thoroughly. Either way, itll be fun.
