Description: Black Hole is a classic and highly collectable pin made by Gottlieb in 1981. This model features two playfield levels, the option for multi-ball (you can play with up to three balls at the same time) and speaks during a game. The machine that we are offering for sale is working 100% OK without errors: general illumination, switched lamps, solenoids, flippers and all the mechanisms were revised and they are working correctly. The artwork of the playfield looks in good condition. It was partially retouched in some small places. The set of plastics is in good condition. Only one piece has a small part of the corner that was glued, but the plastic is complete. The six bumper caps are in good condition with no broken tabs (rollover lane guides are also in good condition). The set of rubbers is new. The two backglasses are in good condition. The inner backglass has a piece of mylar applied along the bottom edge protecting this zone (unnoticeable from the front). The lower cabinet and the backbox are in very solid condition with some small retouches made here and there. A mod to activate the motor for the spinning disk in the backbox only when the ball is active in the lower level was installed. This mod extends the life of the motor and makes the effect more special. A memory capacitor was installed in place of the battery on the CPU. A new replacement auxiliary lamp driver board was installed. This board controls the chasing lights around the backglass. Sounds and speech are working correctly. The set of displays is working 100% OK without segments or digits missing or always on. The plastic tube that transports the ball from the lower level to the main level has some damage near the lower entrance that was repaired by the previous owner years and years ago. This damage cannot be seen when the machine is assembled and the tube works without problems in this condition (and worked without problems for the previous owner). If desired in the future, a new replacement tube is available for sale in the market (easy to install). Front door and backbox have locks with the corresponding keys. Legs and lockdown bar were polished; they are very shiny. Four new leg levelers are included. Original manual & schematics is also included.
