Okay, this is my first post to these pin forums about my first ever pinball: Bally Xenon.
She started with a favor: a friend of mine needed storage space badly. I offered a space in my garage and I picked Xenon out from his collection. I liked her from the start and it became the first pin I ever really played. A year later my friend needed money for his pin fund and told me he was going to sell the Xenon. I couldn't have that and I made a fair offer for it (right around what Mr. Pinball's guide says) and soon made space for her in my living room. We've had a good relationship for a bit now and I guess you can say we've been hitched ;D I still think it was all part of some master plan on his part, getting me addicted to pins 8)
She's had a rubber kit and a playfield waxing. The tube is new and it has the LED tube upgrade kit.
I need help getting a parts list together for my first order. Bob Roberts is the source for a lot of vid parts, but I am at a loss for pins. So far, I like this page: http://www.pbresource.com/your1st.html
Parts list so far:
(1x) pack of red bulbs
set of two replacement plunger springs
(4x) new pinballs
pack of replacement fuses
Couple of holders for # 47 bulbs
Some Novus
couple of male connector pins after a 115V to 120V conversion
A "memory capacitor" to replace the battery

You should also get new 3" tall leg levelers.
