Williams (1980) Black Knight Pinball
Will you challenge the Black Knight again?
We just completed a full "stealth" Black Knight for a customer, and loved it so much, we're doing 2 more!
Please see the restoration thread for how the machine will be completed.
Restoration Details:
- Cabinet and head fully stripped, repaired, and repainted using 5 stage automotive paint process
- New plastics, posts, rubber and balls. (graphic plastics are no longer available, so we are sourcing the best original BK items now)
- New MPU, DRIVER and Power Supply boards. This is a new process which allows Black Knight to finally play properly (see note below).
- Full LED conversion
- New legs and many hardware pieces
Also included in this price are the following options:
- New Williams licensed Black Knight back-glass ($400)
- Playfield fully stripped, sanded down and new graphics applied. ($1500)
Note: Black Knight is a special version of Williams System 7 design. Many companies have been trying to reproduce the MPU board without success and cannot seem to get the game to work properly. Apparently, there are some nuances in the original design and layout of the MPU board that allow the game to operate properly with all the sounds etc. Only one company has decided to re-release the original game board set exactly with the same components and layout in order to properly reproduce the Black Knight experience. Now, we can finally release this game in restored form and not have to rely on old/worn out circuit boards from 1980.
