Picked this up last year at PaTZ for $300 not working. The playfield and back glass look like they are from 1957, not bad but not pristine. Something about the wood rails is appealing to me. The "motherboard" in the cabint is on a hinged platform and comes up and out of the machine to rest on the lockdown bar, no strained back when working on it!

The four players have a different side rail profile than the single player machines and no one has them for sale. One day in the future a full restore may happen. For now it's running 100%.

The lit number 4 is the match, the numbers 0-9 are in between the "four player" lettering.

From the pictures you posted it looks pretty done to me.

If you know of anyone local who knows carpentry finish work they could most likely fix/finish those wood Side rails so you don't need new ones IMO.

Very nice job by the way and clean!

Have fun!

Yes looks really nice. I don`t own a wood rail yet but am going to get one when they are set up and restored they are things of beauty. Hope you can find replacement rails as the rest is worth a restore.
