The cabinet has no fading – usually the red is faded to light pink. It looks so much better with the original deep crimson. The backglass was missing when I bought this about 25 years ago. I have been looking for 25 years for a backglass, and never could find one. Then finally someone reproduced it, so I bought one and it’s perfect. Silkscreened just like the original and looks as good as an NOS one. This is a restored, fully shopped, “survivor” Nitro Groundshaker. The cabinet has not been repainted (other than white touchups) – this is the original paint, which is amazing. No fading at all. The backglass is new and perfect. The drop targets, bumper caps, and all plastics are brand new and perfect. The rubber bands are new. The MPU, Lamp Driver, and Solenoid Driver boards are new. The game has been carefully cleaned and waxed and all bulbs replaced with top quality LED bulbs. You won’t find a nicer original Nitro Groundshaker anywhere. Yeah, some guys may have ones that have been completely repainted and all that, but I don’t consider those original. However, over time, LTL rates have risen. They have a white-glove service where they wrap the game, load it, drive it to your home, bring it right inside (ground floor) and unwrap it for you. Much more convenient than LTL where the semi pulls up in front of your house and honks the horn and expects you to get it off the truck and then drives off. Of course if you’re local, you can still pick the game up or I might deliver it myself. If you want it in your basement, you will need to get it there or make arrangements for that on your own. So if you are in a real hurry to get this, contact me first so we can figure out how quickly NAVL can get it to you. Otherwise, expect it to take between 5 and 20 days to get to you, depending on the day you pay and where you live. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will do my best to help you.
