Black Knight 1980 Williams Full 3-Stage Pinball Restoration Update

Posted: January 6, 2024

This Black Knight restoration is now complete. Just in the process of play testing, which should reveal if there are any problems that need attention.

It has the following new components: mirrored backglass, LED player displays, playfield set, plastic set, playfield glass, and cabinet paint.

Plus, many, many new smaller parts.

The Black Knight can now thunder down the path of justice for another 44 years.

You may notice I did change out the protective rebound posts in front of the 2 right ramps. Removed the original pointed top (as seen protecting the left spinner) which only takes a 7/16″od rubber to a round post that accepts a full sleeve. This affords much better protection to the metal edges from ball hits, which in turn, prevent the balls from becoming rolling sandpaper.

This title is available for purchase, under complete machines-Pinballs!

Projects in the pipeline: Flash, Bally Star Trek, Big Game, and Flash Gordon

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know I received my Space Invaders Pinball machine yesterday afternoon. It was very well crated and arrived without any damage! I have set the machine up and all works as it should. Thanks for coding the plugs, and providing the set-up manual. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.
Hi Devron, I picked up the Buckaroo yesterday at the airport and got it put together this evening. It made it through the trip in great shape, thanks to your great crating job! Nothing was able to shift or get loose and you did a fantastic packing job! The machine looks and plays great! The new backglass arrived last week so I have to put it in to make it look even better. I'm real happy with the machine, and thank you for your very accurate description. Thanks, again, for everything and maybe we'll have the chance to do business again in the future.
If you want to buy a pinball machine without the fear of inheriting someone else's problem – buy from Devron. He is meticulous in his restoration of machines and will never let anything go out the door unless it is 100%. I have seen the results of his work on many occasions and I am always amazed at the quality, and attention to detail. Many people and businesses claim that they have "shopped" their machines, but with Devron it’s the absolute truth. He goes through machines top to bottom, inside and out. I have plans to buy a couple more machines over the next few years, and I guarantee they will be from Devron. I just know that it will be done right.
I have been completely impressed with the professionalism, knowledge, and honest dedication to customer support that Devron Gibbon of Absolute Pinball has shown me.  His enthusiasm and respect for the art of pinball is readily evident in the quality and thoroughness of his restoration work.  Devron's willingness to answer questions and to assist a 'new to me' pinball machine has been remarkable - he honestly cares about his customers.

Thank you...thank you...thank you for the Galaxy pinball machine!!!! A couple of friends of mine set it up this past weekend and it's fantastic!!! Whoever packed it for shipment did an outstanding job!! We are having the best time playing it. In fact the first night it was set up, I couldn't sleep so I went downstairs at 2:00am and played a bunch of games.
