PlayBall is a fun little EM. I saved one off a curbside that was heading to the dump. It had nasty water damage. The plywood in the head had all separated and there wasn't anything in it that wasn't corroded. I grabbed it because the play field and back glass were still not bad. It became a winter project four years ago. When finished, I gave it to my son. It's been problem free all this time. One little mod I did involved the back glass. There are two bulbs that come on behind the fireworks over the stadium when it's game over. I made a divider to go between the two bulbs and then put flashing lamps in there. When the game is over, it simulates a little fireworks display going on in the back glass instead of just steady light.
