Space Invaders
Added to the collection on Friday the 13th, October 2006. Hope it works well! I had some problems with a few switches and a couple of bulbs I will still need to address. The largest problem was the flipper. First the assembly was setup wrong and needed to be done. Also the flipper coil needed to be replaced. The game is at least working now, but still needs more attention.
This machine has a really nice backglass (no surprise for a Space Invaders). The playfield has an overlay installed on it. Not as nice as an original paint job, but much better then most of the Space Invaders I have seen). This overlay is slightly off, but you cannot tell unless you look for it at certain places generally under plastics. There is also a small wrinkle but it does not appear to impact play. Bumper caps are not great and plastics could be better, but I am happy with the overall condition (but then I am not a pinball perfectionist either)
I arranged this purchase through Mr. Pinball and picked the machine up at the York Show. More info to come... along with pics.
