Game play will be enhanced and the
colors will once again be vibrant.
Reclaim those old and faded
video monitors by installing a
S*TJ VIDEO BRIGHTENER!
For operators who've given up on pinball games,
it's time to reconsider. Good games are holding
their value and can be operated reliably for 5 years.
Even after 5 years, a decent residual value can be
expected. This is due to a strong home market and
limited supply.

Extends life
of weak or
dull monitors
and TVs!
A good example is ''Attack From Mars" which is
holding remarkable wholesale value. Recondi-
tioned to operators is well over $2500, which is
unbelievable for a year old game.
Works on all
makes &
models!
Guaranteed
Even mediocre pins have decent trade-in today.
This is because there is little to no inventory at the
distributors due to limited recent production.
Clear Precise Directions For:
• Wells Gardner
• Masushita
• Nanao
• Disco




Limited operator competition also makes it pos-
sible to receive 50/o to 100/o more commission from
the location. Earnings may only be fair to good,
but low depreciation makes it worthwhile.

Due to a settling of excess market conditions, good
pins are now a wise investment. This is a dramatic
shift from a year ago.
Directions Also Included For:
Sony, Hitachi, GE & Toshiba
