Update: I have sold this Space Shuttle
I don’t know if it is just too old for me or what but I just don’t gravitate to playing Space Shuttle. It really isn’t a bad game its just doesn’t hold my interest.
I have done the following:
1. Install a new Credit/Match display glass
2. New Rubber
3. New Coil Sleeves
4. Flippers Rebuilt
5. New Pop Bumper Bodies, skirts, springs and 555 wedge base lamps
6. Transparent red shooter and matching flipper buttons
7. CPU has been repaired by Rob Anthony (borygard)
8. Power Supply has all new connectors and caps. GI connector was
replaced
The game plays great. It has one spot of wear above the top pop bumper in the black. The entire playfield is covered in mylar. The cabinet is in great shape and the backglass is near perfect.

I am asking $950 for outright sale. I would love to trade for a project TAF.. the playfield can be beat, boards dead, etc. I would also be interested in other “B” titles like BSD, JM, Flintstones or a Diner, maybe others. I am in Richmond, VA
There has been progress on my Space Shuttle. I mentioned in my previous SS post that it was almost 100% working… well not really. I had two coils that wouldn’t fire and my ball/credit display was dead. I troubleshot the issue with the coils for a little while and after ordering the wrong parts from Mouser I finally threw up my arms in disgust and sent the CPU board off to be repaired. That is the FIRST time I have ever sent anything off for repair.
I sent my CPU over to Rob Anthony (@ www.lockwhenlit.com) and had him take a look. Turned out a bunch of ICs were dead. He fixed me right up! The game plays 100% but… my credit/ball display is still dead. Prior to sending my CPU off I bought a new display glass on eBay and that didn’t fix the problem… so it appears my master display is the issue. I guess I need to fix that huh? 
The main ramp in my Space Shuttle was in poor shape at the two entrances. Pieces of plastic missing, extra screw holes, etc. So after consulting RGP and getting some ideas from Ed Cheung (www.edcheung.com) I started to fix my ramp. I will post some pics in a separate post but the general idea is to take 2-part epoxy and some fiberglass tape and fix the ramp. It’s coming out nice so far!
I got a Space Shuttle! Finally, I always wanted one and now I have one. It’s a slight project but it is in very good cosmetic shape. It works almost 100% with just a few problems. I will post up some pictures later today.
