High End Restore

The one and only – Williams Fish Tales pinball machine.   Williams was (and is still considered) the best pinball maker in the world.  Pinball was at it’s peak in the early 1990’s and the technology Williams designed during that time is STILL being used today on new machines.

The Fish Tales machine is family friendly but also very challenging to master.

The following items are planned for this machine:

• Full cabinet and back box repair
• Full cabinet and back box re-graphic.   ALL Fish Tales machines suffer fading.  This one was no different, but replacing graphics is not easy.  That’s why most have not been refinished.  We are masters at this.
• Full play field tear down and rebuild
• Full LED conversion and under cabinet effects
• Working flapping fish topper
• New legs, hardware
• Rebuilt coin door
• NEW Playfield

SALE PRICING – NOW UNTIL Dec 15 2017

In the 1980’s, there were 2 kinds of game configurations in the arcade:  Horizontal and Vertical.   What does this mean?

Game video monitors were slightly rectangular with a 4:3 aspect ratio  This ratio was the same as CRT TV sets of this era as they used the same tube, but with different electronics.   As such, some games were designed with the monitor in it’s vertical orientation (meaning the smaller side on the top and bottom)… and some games designed in the horizontal orientation, like how a TV set was configured.

Games that were designed for one orientation do not work for the opposite configuration.   Meaning, you cannot play pacman on a horizontal monitor, or Defender on a vertical orientation.

With that said, some games have been converted to work in either horizontal or vertical modes, but this is a limited case.

The Multi-Williams multicade arcade plays the classic horizontal games such as Joust,Robotron, Defender, StarGate.

See the whole list HERE

This game is all NEW:

• Professional / Commercial arcade cabinet (Williams Style).
• Multi-Williams graphics package
• 2 joysticks, and misc buttons
• Matching monitor bezel and marquee
• Addition of trackball
• New 19″ LCD arcade monitor, mounted horizontally
• Deluxe arcade JAMMA arcade board.

If you want to find more information about a game title, use this handy webpage (Arcade Museum – Killer List of Video Games)

We can upgrade your commercial arcade game to the 60-in-1 multicade.

This assumes you have a working arcade monitor, joystick, Player 1/2 start buttons.   Optimal use is to have 2 to 3 Jump/Fire buttons

This kit

• New power supply
• New JAMMA harness
• New 60-n-1 Multicade board
• Includes removing and replacing all internal wiring

We are now offering a flat price for converting a pinball machine to full LED!

LED Facts:

• LEDs look way better, are brighter and flash faster – which is visually more stimulating.  Using these radically modernizes a pinball machine.  You’ll never play a regular pinball machine again once you see the before and after differences.  They are that dramatic!
• LEDs conserve power – which means they are better on your machine.  Even if you do not care about power savings ($$), the mere fact that using LEDs on your machine will preserve the life of the power supply, logic boards and wiring harnesses.
• LEDs do not emit heat.  This is also a major factor in pinball preservation.  Standard incandescent bulbs get so hot they actually will melt the plastic housings and put burn marks on the wood playfield.

What About Older Pinball Machines?

We will convert ANY pinball machine to LEDs.  Many machines were not wired correctly for the use of LEDs (either polarity issues or circuit issues).  We know how to correct that!

System 11 Flashers:  We also know how to properly convert Williams SYSTEM 11 based pinball machines to use LED flashers!  Don’t worry, these conversions are designed by a veteran Software and Electrical Engineer – so you know they will be done right.   You’ll note that all other companies selling LED kits will NOT include flashers for anything previous to the DMD era machines.

Price includes all LEDs and installation at our facility.   On-site installation is available as well.

Ok, so you’ve upgraded your machine to LEDs, and it’s awesome.  Now you want more, right?  Well, we’re right with you!

You can now have additional lighting effects under your machine for a fully immersive experience!  These full length LED strips are added strategically under the pinball machine (mounted to the bottom) and wired into the flash circuitry.    So when you hit just the right combination, loop or special shot, the whole room lights up along with the playfield.  Every machine is different and only video can even come close to explaining the effect.

We can color match RED, BLUE, GREEN, WHITE, YELLOW and PURPLE effects in all combinations!

Note: this is not the same kit you see on other pinball sites.  This is not background lighting – but is flash effect lighting.  We of course can do static background lighting for the same cost as it is way easier to install.

Price includes parts and installation at our location.  On-site installation is available in our local delivery area at our hourly rate.

Video

Stern pinball machines are great, however they did cut a couple of corners to save money.  Thankfully a large cost saver was in eliminating the backbox lighting.  The backbox insert (which housed many incandescent bulbs and flashers) was replaced by a single fluorescent tube lamp.   The result is that the backbox artwork does not have any animation and that the lighting is way overpowered.

With our kit, we replace the single tube lamp with multiple full length strips of LED lighting.   We also select a portion of the backglass where you can customize the color and select different color changing effects.

Price includes installation – at our facility and is not available as an over-the-counter item.  On-site installation is available at the hourly rate in the local delivery area.

Only a handful of arcade games ever produced were ever properly equipped for the use of a subwoofer.  If you could listen and feel the difference, you would undoubtedly wonder why they ever left the factory without one.

Games such as Golden Tee and NFL Blitz just come to life when equipped with this upgrade.

Upgrade includes

• 80W subwoofer
• wired remote for volume, bass level and overall speaker level (which controls the main 2 stereo speakers)
• JAMMA audio level converter
• Mounting and wiring.   Subwoofer is permanently attached inside the cabinet so that you can lay down and move the machine without worry

Add this package to any machine from our inventory, except the MultiPAC where it is already included.

— DUE TO BACKLOG – WE ARE TEMPORARILY HOLDING OFF FROM MORE CHASSIS REPAIRS —

If you a have a Wells Gardner 25″ or 27″ monitor that needs repair, send us the chassis (and all connected components) and we’ll repair and upgrade it back to new condition.

If we can’t fix it quick, we’ll send it back at no charge to you.

Requirements

• Must be Wells Gardner brand u2000, u5000, k7400 or k7500 monitor chassis.
• Must include neck board
• Must include wired remote control board
• Must not have burn damage.
• Must be complete.  If you have removed significant portions of the circuitry, we will not repair it.
• Do not send the entire monitor.  You need to know how to remove the chassis and neck board.
• Please pack carefully.  A midsize USPS box should fit everything fine with proper packaging

What You Get

How

Submit your order, and we will immediately send you a shipping address.

A single arcade monitor chassis will fit perfectly in a USPS flat rate box.  Wrap the neck board with a layer of bubble wrap separately from the main board.  Pack it with a layer of packing peanuts.  Please include the wired remote.

Please read our on-line blog on how to remove/reconnect your wells gardner arcade chassis.

For Wells Gardner 25″ and 27″ chassis: U2000, U5000, k7400 and k7500 only

This P719 arcade monitor neck board has been out of production for many years and is one of the first items that need to be replaced on these monitors. This neck board houses the color transistors, video IC and associated logic to control the Red/Green/Blue guns and heater circuit.

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, your neck board needs replacement:

* missing primary color (red, blue or green)
* adjusting contrast up smears the image
* cannot get enough contrast, but the contrast adjustment POT is showing some change on the screen
* In some cases, replacing the neck board may fix white screen with no image problem

If you are unsure, you may send your entire Wells Gardner monitor chassis to Castle Classic Arcade for repair (or trade in if in repairable condition). See our services section for arcade chassis repair…

April 15, 2019 – Update  : 1 remaining, price reduced

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
• Many new plastics, posts, rubber and balls.   (graphic plastics are no longer available, so we have sourced perfect condition original plastics)
• 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:

1. New Williams licensed Black Knight back-glass ($400)
2. 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.

The F14 Tomcat pinball machine is one of the fastest, brutal and most rewarding pinball machines of the entire era.

Steve Ritchie and Williams really put a lot of effort in making the game unique, hard and high tech.  The theme, sound effects, music and most importantly, lighting, make this machine the adrenaline junkies go-to game of the 80’s.  If you can find one in good condition, with current technology upgrades and a fresh coat of wax, this machine will compete with any current game for some of the fastest ball times.

The F14 Tomcat generally comes in two flavors – production and pre-production / prototype.   They are effectively the same machine, but the pre-production games have clear flasher lenses and overhead domes.  The proto models come with extra flashers populated in the upper playfield area.

During production, Williams felt that the original proto/pre-production clear lenses were too bright for general population so they were changed out for red lenses where possible.   Pre-production games are more rare and sought after, and thus are priced accordingly.

Restoration Process

• Cabinet repainted and stenciled  (or touched up if original cabinet is in excellent condition)
• Automotive clear coat final coat to protect and lock in the colors on the cabinet and backbox
• New legs, hardware and cabinet protectors
• Refinished coin door assembly with new locks
• Replaced plastics that are broken or missing
• Full play field tear down.  Mylar removed.  Polished and waxed
• New standoffs
• New rubber
• New balls
• All metal polished
• Full LED replacement.
• Full Flasher LED replacement.    System 11 games cannot just accept flasher LEDs without knowing how to install them in the circuit correctly.   Fortunately, with over 20 years of Electrical Engineering experience, we know how to do this correctly.
• Full under cabinet LED light effects.  Even add further to the light show !
• New flippers and mechanisms
• New coil sleeves
• All circuitry removed and rebuilt.  All prior electrical hacks removed and brought back to factory wiring specs
• Original plasma displays if possible (or replaced with LED displays if required)

We have ONE early pre-production model available.  It has the original playfield in super condition AND is running the PROTO firmware code.  It still has the PROTO labels!    This model also has ALL NEW plastics which are no longer available!

If you know anything about pinball, you’ve heard of Williams Funhouse.   The one with the talking dummy head in the middle of the playfield?

Well, the designer (Pat Lawlor) of Funhouse was given full run of the shop and came out with it’s sequel: Road Show.

Road Show has TWO talking dummies on the playfield, both of which talk smack to each other and to you.  They are fully animated and watch the ball as it travels inside the game.   They also can swallow and spit up the ball and are integral parts of the game.

Roadshow is also one of the few wide-body machines ever made by Williams in the 90’s, which allows for more room to put just about everything the designer could think of from all his past successes into this machine.   The result is one of the craziest and complicated machines ever made.   We also own one in our game demo room – which we refuse to sell.  Thankfully, we have another!

Restoration will include:

• Full tear down, clean and polish
• Replacement of all standoff plastic
• Replacement of all available broken specialty plastics
• Full conversion to LED lighting
• Full repair of all circuit boards back to factory condition
• Under cabinet custom LED flash effects (Castle Classic Arcade exclusive)

Available late Feb 2014.    Contact us to reserve this machine before it’s gone…

April 15, 2019

What we have here is a fully restored Funhouse pinball machine with an original Diamond Plate playfield.   Many of you know that the Diamond Plate playfield was an early production and limited to just 200 games.   We found this playfield many years ago and placed it in storage for future restoration…

That’s not the whole story here.  This restored pinball machine has many more unique restored items :

• Original SunProcess playfield – stamped Oct 1990.   This playfield was additionally lightly restored and fully protected with multiple stages of automotive clear coat.  Then the playfield was stored for another year for curing before hardware was attached
• Cabinet and back box were fully restored with new graphics, new legs, new stainless hardware and coin door
• New plastics and ramps
• NEW OLD STOCK Williams driver board was sourced (never used) from a Williams pinball developer (name withheld for privacy reasons)
• New display
• LED Conversion and under cabinet effects

This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase one of the most sought after classic pinball machines – with one of the most rare and desirable playfields ever created.  Note: the last 2 DP Funhouse playfields on the market sold for an excess of $2100 alone
