not even the price police want to patrol this for sale ad.

However if you want an apron mod ; this one is not being taken off to sell.

Make a ridiculous offer at least . what happened to pinside? lol

Somewhere there's a thread for this.

Ended up being a wall mount , but wanted a standalone frame too

dinosaur bump

it's back on the market and 1k off

weekend bump

UPDATE:

Reseated the flipper related cables and have not had any issue since.

Been playing the game for 3 days during the football games with only minor issues with targets and a drop target that wont stay up. Got to mode-related mini wizards and newt.

The biggest issue now id the 3+ boots to get it working properly.

Get it at this price before i email pb and fix everything!

REMINDER : this is a first run SV , so it could be software / firmware issues or something needing an upgrade to work with the latest updates . Running 3.2 right now.

The upgrade to firmware .71 changed the boot up behavior a bit and vastly improved the alien tongue "smoothness" in the initial test. That used to be a grinding noise.

I did notice the unsuccessful boots now feature switches on the right side not registering , along with the drop targets. Targets by the right SHIP 180 ramp and the ramp switch itself do not work in this situation. Turn it off and on again one or 2 times gets the game fully working.

PB is suggesting some USB cable checking and a fuse swap and ultimately a possible complete re-install of software to 4.0.

Still working through some issues , which is why the price is reasonable IMO .

Still a fully working game with some target adjusting necessary if you can put up with the boot up abnormalities.

Hasn't been suggested that this is anything but a cable / fuse / or software issue in any communications with PB or on the pinside thread.

Likely that if i solve this on my own , the price will go up. Apron mod With beacons (1k) and recessed alien backglass mod (+250) AND prototype headphone kit ($200) with external sound controls , make it a good price.

Open to criticism if it is not.

I hate working on games

UPDATE:

Game is now fully working (minus switch adjustments and tweaks) consistently with only one reset. Drop targets and other switches not registering with initial boot up.

PB has not gotten back to me as expediently on the next step.

Feel free to chime in here , so someone can get in on what i consider to be a deal and i can pay off some bills.

Thanks.

Somebody buy this thing. plays fine after it boots up properly.

PB says its cable or fuse connection related.

Needs some normal switch adjustments and tweaking.

Headphone Kit and desirable Apron mod included.

How low can i go? . This is it

Bump for the friday afternoon buyers.

Thanks to all for the discussion.

Definitely understand the reluctant comments here . I am not a tweaker or fixer. Whatever it is with this particular game ; it didnt like going from 2.8 to more current code.

Older game that works after boot up anomalies. Worth 6.5 K or more with the 1k apron mod and a $200 headphone kit. Making switch adjustments on Alien targets and playing with some of the software adjustments is all that is needed beyond whatever stops the game from working the first time it is turned on.

Played it multiple times ; AKA all night after rebooting ; to check that something would not "stop working" in the middle of a game. That is not happening.

Price reflects condition IMO .

You can check the Alien thread to see if anyone was left hanging with no resolution. I hate working on games, but have fixed many things in the early stages with flipper replacements etc.

PB says they are going to send me a new Controller box and cables and i will hire someone to perform that replacement. That is great news at this stage of ownership.

If i get it fully working, then price will be adjusted. Perhaps this is what needs to be done since i am the original owner.

If that doesn't work , i will look into dialing back the software to 2.8 when none of these problems existed.

Full disclosure may be hurting this sale , but the history has been documented here on pinside as to how to approach all issues listed; for those who like to repair and solve issues.

<< "Seems a really ODD king of issue and all the guys gave me the same reply, USB cables or Fuses fake contacts.

I can send you cables and the Controller cb where the you see the fuses and we can start with it ok? "

Thanks !! >>

....

For anybody following this saga -

PB still supporting this game and sending me new controller box and cables to fix this!

Update after 3/19 or whenever i get a tech over here.

I have received a new tested (by PB) controller along with a complete replacement connector kit.

Offering the package before i hire someone to replace everything.

For those that were worried that the controller was bad , this should alleviate that concern.
