Quoted from djblouw:

"So how does the pf look?" you ask. Well, it's covered in dirt. I'm pretty sure it has never been cleaned or wiped down. Since it wasn't earning at the arcade, they probably didn't care what it looked like. And then it went into storage.
Overall, I think it looks pretty good.
No planking that I can see (or very little).
No wear spots that I could find. Mylar still in tact on slings & end of shooter lane
Minor wear around some of the inserts.

I did a quick couple passes with Novous 2, just to see how bad the dirt and ball swirls were. I'm pleasantly surprised. With a little elbow grease, it should look very presentable.

All the plastics look to be in tact and not broken. The drop target decals & spinner decals are worn. But those can be replaced.

I hope you got this one cheap. looks like a sweet score. I've restored a few Joust playfields over the years, and this one looks better than most i've done. Good find.

just clean all the contacts good. Make sure everything is making and breaking well. Should boot right up and play good.
