Hi there! First off, this is my first post so if I'm out of line somewhere for not following the rules as I should....I apologize.
I found this Gottlieb "Flag-Ship" woodrail on a dutch Marketplace (I'm from the Netherlands) for around 125 dollars. Although I'm a wood and metal worker, this is my first classic woodrail and I thought it would be wise to join this forum. I know it can be a risk to buy a classic piece of machinery which is in a bad state, but I think that every classic can and deserves to have a new life. So...I decided to post some images of the project and to find out what I'm up against exactly. Before I made the purchase, me and my wife came to the conclusion that the backglass is in the worst shape. I havent's seen any reproductions of this particular pinball, so it's up to me to give it a go. I should say my wife, because she's a doll painter/artist so I'm sure that's sorted. The cabinet (besides the coindoor) look alright to me as well as the playfield and apron. The woodrails I build myself. But I'm most worried about parts missing! The seller couldn't tell me what was missing, so I hope I won't get stuck along the line.
Anyhow.....I hope you guys out there, with all the knowledge, can help me along my path. (pics attatched)
Thank you in advance!
