What evil lurks under your playfield?

Half way through my MB pf swap, have been informed that this and the TAF are worst so probably not an ideal 1st project but so far so good. The evils you find on a routed pin when you dig that little deeper than a lamp and rubber change, nothing too sinister to report just some fractured scoops held together by faith, hacks and the general “this will keep it taking coin†repairs, anyone found something out of the norm?? Seem to recall someone recently posting that they found a 5.5†floppy disc in a TAF thing metal box used as a makeshift ball guide.



I remember stopping to help a broken down vehicle whilst on my way to an all nighter some years back, (we had a mechanic on board) the stranded car was full of girls on their way to the same rave, my mate got out and immdiately sussed it was a snapped fan belt, he proceeded to ask one of the girls to remove her tights :cool: (we were all very interested @ his request

) he repaired the car with her tights and we all made it to the party, anyone found a pair of ladies tights being put to good use under their pf?
 
Good luck Andy, its a great buzz when you step back and see the completed work and know it's all your own work.

I've just finished a 3-month restoration of my AFM, and apart from some of the worst welding I've ever seen, I found was some tight-**** had made a strobe light cover out of half of a pop bottle!
 
Well - this pic shows nothing in particular ....just a *lot* of general evilness :eek:

Prob should have posted this in the other horrible pins thread.



Luckily it came with a couple of spare parts in a little plastic bag ...result !

Don't think a pair of tights is going to help much there, doesn't look much dirtier than the T2 that turned up off a group member the other week described as “clean - pictures don't do it justiceâ€, may post the description and pics on the hall of shame just to show what you can expect from a seasoned pin head unless you are careful :mad:





That little plastic bag was a lifesaver, you would have been shafted without it, fortunately for you there are some thoughtful people out there

I didn't know we had a Hall of Shame?



Looking at the state of that POS I think I've been lucky with all my machines!

(Mind you Grizz, once you replace the wiring, cabinet, speaker, screws, switches, stay arm, lockdown bar, transformer, plunger and tilt mech, you should end up with a nice pin!

looks like its been used as a fish tank at some point.
 
I had a BR that had been sat in a garage under a drip in which the base of the cab parted company with the rest of it.

What game mate?
 
The most interesting thing I have found under a playfield was a gram of coke

. It was in a JP which also had £38 in pound coins left in the coin box.
