Pinball Machines

I bought this game with the intention of restoring it to original condition. I don’t have the time to invest in the game. My loss is your gain! The game is in fair shape. The upper playfield is in fair shape.

The lower playfield is in very nice shape. The spinning disk does not spin. A few plastics are broken. The backglass isn’t flaking and doesn’t have any major imperfections. The case is in nice shape.

The four main displays work, as does the playfield display. The credit display is not working. The game has a new, reproduction cpu board and power supply board. At some point someone replaced some of the capacitors. They started doing some of the gottlieb system 80 mods, but i’m not sure if they completed them. I haven’t done much with this game other than play it. It does play, but will require some work to make it 100% perfect. There’s a link below to many high resolution pictures of the game and parts. Spare upper / lower playfield, each in fair condition. Original power supply (was working when it was removed).
You must pick it up at my house in cincinnati, oh (45231). I will not split up the parts. No checks or anything else. I have a dolly and can assist in loading the machine.

As always, please write me if you have any questions.

This is an original 1980 black knight pinball machine in good working cond. This machine sat for about a little over a year without being played & i wiped it down & plugged it in & it worked great.

I was told it needs some type of circuit breaker. It was working up until a few weeks ago. As you could see it has its vintage condition still untouched. As with older guitars and antiques, when they are kept in original condition they hold there value and are desired by serious collectors in vintage condition. If anyone would like to add their knowledge i could pass it on.

All the lights are flashing and the black knight voice is working. It’s the flippers or buttons that are not working now. It was serviced about 6 weeks ago and it worked for a few weeks. Supposedly it was a micro switch. After a few weeks it stopped working again.

I think the guy who repaired it is taking us for a ride. I’m sorry but in the original listing i forgot to say that i don’t have the key for the door.

The door lock is in the open position.

You are viewing my black knight pinball. It is in real good shape. It works perfect, magna save and all. It could use rubber replacements and it has wear as pictured.

The backglass is just about the best i seen. The game is available for viewing/playing in springfield nj 07081.

Black knight belongs to that small group of pinball machines that can be labeled as “classic”. Introduced by williams in december of 1980, over 13,000 games were produced in a 7 month production run. The game was designed by steve ritchie, programming by larry demar and art by constantino mitchell.

Black knight was the first game to use williams system 7 mpu board, however its most famous attribute is being the first multi-level playfield game. I have played this machine for years.

It is working and plays great! The playfield is in good condition.
