Gameplay on the finished pin:

This Solar Fire turned out beautiful and with rock-solid game play :

  • Outside Edge Hardtop

  • CPR Blackglass

  • Weebly MPU/Driver Board Combo

  • Rottendog Power Board

  • Original Sound Board

  • Extra fuse protection added in the backbox for the GI and Solenoid Bridge Rectifiers

  • Original Displays (nice and bright with no burn-in!)

  • Skar 8ohm cabinet speaker

  • Comet LEDs

  • Ibis custom oak playfield rails

  • Cabinet repaired and repainted with custom Pinball Pimp cabinet stencils

  • New ground braiding run throughout the cabinet, plus new power cord

  • New plastics set, coin door skin, and drop targets

  • New legs, leg protectors, leg levelers, bolts, and screws

  • Reproduction cabinet tech labels and apron cards

  • New flipper buttons and rubber set

  • All mechs disassembled, cleaned/polished, and rebuilt (including the coin door)

Plus, it just won 1st Place Best Restoration at the 2026 Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown in September.

All in all, there are about 180 hours into the restoration of this machine with most of that time spent on the cabinet repair and re-paint.
