Enclosing a few pix and a video of a really nice looking 5 ball game. I’m partial to the early ‘50s woodrails, especially the Neyens/Parker games.

This game was mechanically restored by Nick Raschilla and the cosmetic objective was to keep the cabinet and playfield paint as original as possible. Only selective touchups were done.

Really cool light show when all the lights go on/off. Lovely marbleized “billiard ball” globes takes up a fair amount of space on the playfield, but doesn’t prevent a good flipper shot from sending the ball back up to the top for additional play time. Replays are awarded by scoring points (each time all 15 balls are made), regular high scores, kick out holes and rollover specials.

As with all my videos, a quick acknowledgement to Pinrescue for maintaining all my games under service contract with them.

This is a beautiful game. Very well done. This is what I will be aiming to reproduce as I work on mine. Unfortunately I'll have to repaint my cab.
