This is a system 80A from 1984. It has no backglass because I often tell service customers to leave that fragile place safely stored at home.
This one had sound problems, broken flipper and a failed diode. I also performed the ground mods that should be done on all gottlieb from System 1 until system 3. Notice the Green/Yellow wires added:
Here is one more going out to earn its keep:
bad trough switches, broken back box, no general illumination on playfield, jury-rigged plunger, bad coin switch, no tilt bob.
Fully LED’ed
Above are pictures of the coveted Amplifone PAT9000 X-Y Chassis. The tube was originally a M48AAW00X. My research indicates that this chassis can drive both 19″ and 25 ” 100 degrees CRT’s.
This machine will be on location at American Classic Pizzeria in Liberty Cafe at Doc and Eddy’s Plaza on 14th and Broadwater.
It is for sale for $500. Go down and give it a play.

I stumbled across this technical history on my favorite game of all time:
I just love this game for all the reasons in the article. It is my hope to one day have 6 or 8 seats in a climate-controlled trailer to rent out. Even though Mario Kart would probably be a better candidate, I love Alcatraz so much that I would choose it over an even more profitable game. I owned a pair of these and sold them to a local guy 2 years ago. There is one at Bones arcade here in Billings that has crappy steering but is otherwise good. And I just finished up repairing a customer’s machine that will be found in Thermopolis Wyoming soon.
In the meantime, I’m testing, testing, testing……
Stern monopoly pinball machine will be headed back to Thermopolis, Wyoming shortly.
ETA: 5/23/17: I sold the boardset and power brick out of this game and it’s no longer for sale. Watch for a vector-multi in the future.
This machine is missing the monitor and internal shroud or bezel. it needs a wells Gardner 19K6102 to be complete. You cannot really see the missing bezel because the glass is tinted so darkly. Otherwise it is complete and working. I had to change the mathbox chip at one point, but other than that, the boardset has always worked correctly.
Billings, Montana, USA. I’m happy to ship as long as you arrange white glove shipping through NAVL or some other company that can move uncrated furniture. Commercial address, no loading dock. 59101 zip code.
There is a Joker Poker pinball, an Atari Battle Zone vector arcade game and a custom 520-in-1 in the Liberty cafe. You can find them across the hall from Bones Arcade on 14th and Broadwater in Billings, MT.
