Revenge From Mars (Pinball 2000)
Just got this machine from the 2005 Hershey Expo. I figured I needed one of the Pinball 2000 games for the diversity. I wanted to go with a Revenge From Mars since I had a lead on a Star Wars Episode 1 playfield/rom set to be able to convert at a later time. That is something I will consider at a later time. First I need to get this machine put back together and tested. I know there were a number of problems reported by the diagnostic menu. I expect they are all easy fixes. It will also need a good cleaning. I guess you get what you pay for -- and in this case I got a good discount due to the work needed.
Got the machine back together. The test report indicated about 15 bulbs out and four switches. Playing and testing it some more, I found a few more intermittent switches. Ended up changing two switches out (one had a broken lever, which I should have just changed that). I also adjusted the other switches and they are working better now, though one seemed to be a little flakey and may need replaced. I also replaced all the burned lamps except the one pop bumper buried under the ramp. This looks like it will be a real pain. the machine still needs to be stripped and get a really good cleaning, but that will have to wait, especially since I just spent two days cleaning Black Knight.
I also have a replacement playfield glass (with logo) since my existing one is scratched up. However, in the current light you can hardly tell so I have not installed the new glass. It is sitting next to the other 3-4 playfield glasses I have had in reserve for years :->
