Quoted from Peruman:

The Domino I just finished was my first LEP find, $85. I thought it was going to be a parts machine but after getting it running I decided to bring it back. [quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from BeachPickle:

Pulled a Bally bow and arrow out of an unheated junk shop in Vermont for $400. It was buried and surrounded on all sides by junk. Took me an hour just to get everything cleared away enough to disassemble the game.
It needed a ton of help, but is cleaning up nicely. I’m currently touching up the playfield and rebuilding the pops. Will install a playfield protector to take care of the cupped inserts/ unsealed paint. I Already rebuilt the flippers and serviced every stepper.
The only real problem I’m having with it is the stupid sealed motors Bally used. The flash motor was seized up, so I soaked it in alcohol, which freed it a bit, but not enough. So I tried this stuff called liquid bearings, which is supposedly a solvent that breaks down old grease, while also lubricating with a modern synthetic. It freed it up so it’s not struggling , but now it sounds like it has grit or broken teeth in the works. Very likely I’ll just disable the motor and set it permanently on the 3000 pt & open gate for hitting the target/ kick out.. which is unfortunate, but a LEP is rarely perfect.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from Peruman:

Lugged it out of a garage attic this past summer for $200. Working through some scoring issues but it’s getting there. [quoted image]

Quoted from PoBoyPinball:

How many of my fellow LEP-ers will jump in the truck when they get off work drive 3 hours one way and back home for a good deal and be up at 6 am for work? I’m guessing most all of us.[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from mrm_4:The thing that sucks is we all know there’s some dude with a box of 250 of these things out in a garage somewhere just being hoarded and will get thrown away by the grand kids as soon as they pass away.
I respect the parts hoarders for holding on to stuff for the games but at the same time, come on dudes let this stuff go for a good cause. To quote LyonsRonnie1 from Joes Classic Video games “Stop parting them out people we need to part them IN!”
