I just picked up another pinball.
It was free, in fact I had to only buy the boards and the displays, the rest, well he was going to hang the playfield on the wall and dump/burn the rest, no joke. It is pretty insane to think that he was going to do it. A few years ago he had a massive heart attact, he couldn't fix the pinball and I think he just didn't know what to do with it, it was just too much for him.
He said it was at his mothers farm, it had no glass and was stored in a dryish place. I had visions of it in a barn with some hay! Turned out it was down a dirt track next to a farm in a artists studio, that was a bit damp! Still, i'm not going to complain!
So it is pretty complete, apart from the inside backglass, we found the playfield glass and some other parts when moving it. Some wires have been cut and It has some woodworm on the backbox. My phone was playing up when I collected it, so I will post some more later on.
Cheers,
Dom.
