My First Pin - Flight 2000 (Pics)

(1/8) > >>

Neverending Project:
I just picked up my first pin (Can you guess which game?), and now I am officially in way over my head.

I will get some pics posted tonight, hopefully. Basically, the PF is worn in the middle, the backglass is in good shape with some small areas of paint cracking, and it is partially working. If it turns out to be something I really enjoy, I may get the PF repro from classicplayfields.com.

I haven't done much more than unload it into my garage, so I will be taking a closer look soon.

Now I have yet another reason to stall/procrastinate from working on my MAME cab conversion!

ChadTower:

If you like working on it, consider buying the playfield for later swapping, but don't even think about thinking about doing the swap.  If you're in over your head now that's jumping off a bridge.

First thing you do is go over to marvin3m.com and read the repair guide on that pin.  Then read it again.  Check the fuses, if they're all proper power it up, and then read the guide a third time.

I haven't seen one of their products in person yet that wasn't really, really good.

ChadTower:

That's not in person.  Plus it's a plastic and he's talking about a playfield.  Entirely different concepts.  Plastics do break, and they addressed their initial choice of material by changing to a stronger one when people reported plastics issues.

ChadTower:

I have played one of their Centaur repros quite a few times... seems to be holding up quite nicely.  I haven't installed any of their stuff myself.
