i got this 2001 from a barn find. the thing was there for many years untouched. the cabinet was trashed, the jones plugs were cut. the head was intact and pf looked ok. i just couldn't bring myself to part this out so i decided to save it. i do like a challenge.
i planed to just clean it up and put it aside to restore at a later time. but once i started to clean it i just could stop. 10 days later i was done. it still needs to be tuned but that should be the easy part.

I need to get a job like that. Not really, though, as I'm departing the work force in about 8 months anyway. That doesn't mean, however, that all that time will be devoted to pinball restorations, unfortunately.

It would take me two months to do that and then it wouldn't look half as good.

thanks for all the compliments, i really enjoy the restoration / saving part of the hobby.
i plugged it in about an hour ago... waiting for it to burst into flames. other than a few misadjusted switches it plays fine. now i need to find it a home. i am starting to get to many doubles. 2001, atlantis and el dorado and tomorrow i am picking up another jacks open
4 doubles and no room.
deals have been pretty scarce in the last year around here. so i grab good project machines whenever i can.

just a note:not counting the cost of the machine and my labor. it took only 38 dollars from start to finish.
i already had the paint and stencils from another repaint, any bad or broken parts where replaced from the used parts bin
38 was for new rubber and a few new parts from the new parts bin.

Wow! That playfield looks amazing.

Did you repaint the cabinet, or did it clean up that nice?

chuck i am sure i can find it a home, these great wedgeheads are getting harder to find every year. that is why i grab them when i can so i have project work to do. i am afraid one day i will have all my projects done and i might have to start playing them

Great job as usual. Was that the original backglass? Is that the original head cabinet with a repaint?
