Hello,
In March of 2005 I acquired my first pinball machine, a Stargate. All the plastics, toys, wireform ramps, and all that are intact and in good condition. The cabinet is in great shape, too. Everything works 100%.
The only problem is that the playfield is shot to hell. It is in very poor condition, with duct tape in the ball drop areas and much of the artwork destroyed in several areas. Someone must have used scratched-up pinballs in the machine.
Not to fear. The collector who sold me the machine was originally planning to swap the playfield out and so he had a NOS playfield that I bought along with the machine.
Here are a couple of pictures of the playfield as it currently exists.
