Board Shipping Preparations

Wrap all boards individually in aluminum foil (batteries removed) then bubble wrap the boards and ship them in a solid cardboard box (extra padding is recommended).
The aluminum foil helps to prevent static discharge damage to the boards during shipping.
Note: The aluminum foil method was heavily used by the U.S. military to store and ship circuit boards and other static sensitive parts. Foil has been replaced by expensive conductive (anti-static) plastic bags.

Include the Return Shipping charge and the board in the same shipping container.

A typical package weighs one pound (per circuit board) and costs under ten dollars to ship by USPS Priority Mail. Shipping insurance is highly recommended as some boards are hard and expensive to replace (WPC=$350, WPC-95=$800 - Prices are for used boards on auction sites).
See our New replacement Pinball board sets page for more information.

Estimated Board Return shipping costs
U.S.A. ONLY Boards up to 12" x 10" x 1.5" $9.00
Boards up to 13" x 11.25" x 2.25" $10.50
Boards up to 17.5" x 12.25" x 3" $13.50 Battery Holder Elimination Services

We install battery eliminator Memory Capacitors and boards.
A memory capacitor replaces the often battery acid damaged Battery Holder with a non-leak Memory Capacitor. This capacitor can be installed on the original circuit board or on a custom made printed circuit board that replaces the battery holder. The board contains a discharge circuit used when shipping the board in for repairs. The capacitor board eliminates battery replacements and the potential for battery acid damage later on. A major cause of board failures.
We charge $12.50 for the replacement battery board with a memory Capacitor installed plus labor to install the board. This is highly recommended by Pinball Medic, but will not be installed unless the customer requests it.
