    A beautiful looking game! This one hadn't had much play, and the owner wanted to help protect the common wear areas with Cliffy protectors. No problem! We installed protectors on the Radagast and Balin VUKs, shooter lane eject protectors, and a protector on the Smaug ball drop area. Also adjusted one of the pop-up targets, which was binding due to the bracket being a little bent; a common issue with these pop-up targets. CPU battery was also dead, so that was replaced, too. (Remember these need to be replaced every 3 years or so!)

    I had the pleasure of servicing this absolutely stunning Strikes and Spares. Haven't seen one quite as nice as this before, and I doubt I ever will! While cosmetically flawless, this game had a few issues to sort out. It needed some new rubbers. Problems with the playfield fuse were causing issues with the coils. There were a couple of electrical issues to fix too, including some flickering displays and non-working lamps. Did a few switch adjustments to round out the repair. Looking as good now as it did back in 1978!
