Description
Party Zone Pinball produced by Bally (Williams) in 1991.
This game sports some very unique ramps.
The asking price is based on the pin being refurbished to “Collectors Quality” condition.
The photos in the gallery at present, show the pin in it’s current condition.
Major work that will be done on this unit as follows:
Cabinet will be stripped, and sanded down to wood. All body repairs will be completed. The body will then be primed, block sanded, and finished in it’s base color. Finally, a set of high quality, UV light resistant decals will be applied. Edges, and leg cut outs will be factored in to prevent future decal rippling.
All the cabinet metal will be sandblasted, and powder coated; I’m open to suggestion on the color scheme, but if your ordering, choose your own color.
The playfield will be stripped bare, and scrapped, as it is done, due to insert lifting. A new CPR “gold” rated playfield will be installed; once it’s produced, which may be a few years off.
All the electronics will be updated, and many old connectors, and capacitors changed, so the unit is reliable.
All playfield metal parts, such as posts, will be polished in a tumbler with a special medium, for over 1 week; end result, they will look new.
Any part that cannot be refreshed, is changed out to new.
All mechanical components will be disassembled, cleaned, and rebuilt to original specifications.
The large plasma player score display will be changed to the new LED type, making the high voltage generating circuit obsolete, greatly improving reliability.
All #47 & #555 bulbs will be changed to color matching 2-SMD frosted, high intensity “Absolute” brand. All back box bulbs will usually be cool AKA natural white. Likewise, most all playfield General Illumination (GI) will also be Cool White. Unlike Warm White, which has a red hue, cool white is pure white, and will illuminate the playfield much better.
A new sheet of tempered playfield glass will be installed.
Basically, everything you read about under “The Restoration Process”, which is broken into 3 parts (Board Sets-Playfield-Cabinet) will be done to this pin.
Notable Features: Kick-out Saucer, Multiball (2 ball), Clear and curving ramps. Player uses flipper buttons to select a choice of music when prompted. Achieving the “Big Bang” feature causes the playfield illumination to pulse entirely in a red color, accompanied by a ‘sonic boom’ sound effect.
Toys: Capt. B. Zarr animated head turns to follow the ball, Dancing (Crash-test) Dummy, Supersonic Robotic Comic, Rocket, Cosmic Cottage.
Notes: The backglass and playfield of ‘Party Zone’ contain characters from previous games:
The Party Animals from Bally Midway’s 1987 ‘Party Animal’ and
the Party Monsters from Midway’s 1989 ‘Elvira and the Party Monsters’
the Party Dudes from Midway’s 1990 ‘Dr. Dude And His Excellent Ray’ all meet on this game at the Cosmic Cottage.
