That doesn't look ANYTHING like the beauty you sent me. It is still in good hands and won't be leaving his place until it comes back to mine.
Quoted from PinRebel:Looking at the space between the flippers and this thing looks like a real drain monster no?
Not really. Looks can be decieving. A lot of nudging and the ball will bounce across the rubbers on those lane guides. I think it is one of the funnest games to play of the late 50s. A friend and I sort of trade games back and forth so he has it now. I may be going to get another from him tonite.

It does look nice.
The Grandfather, did he own an Arcade? There is a label on the score card. That looks newer than the game.
Well, maybe that is the card of the company who attended the maintenance of this machine during its life ...

Ok now that looks more like it!
I will add that I am simply amazed at the attention to detail Robert puts into every machine he does. And I am not alone.

This could be a possibility. Repairs would have been needed at some time.
On this FIREBALL, there are no doubts that it was "home use only"

I'm tired to see pinball machines listed as "HUO" that never can qualify for this condition, and this was basically the reason of my initial post.
