    I have an old pinball machine that has been taking up space in my basement for about 15 years. Before that, it was hidden in my Father's basement for 40+ years. I know next to nothing about pinball or restoring old machines but would love to get this beaut up and running if possible. Also, I have very little info on where the game came from or where/when my father picked it up. I did some googling to find more info but didn't discover much other than it was produced in the 1930s. Do you guys know much about the Madcap Pinball Machine and what it would take to get it back up and running?

    It's in great shape! I'm sure there are people here who are familiar with this one and can help.

    1936 Mad Cap, made by Stoner. Go to 'International Pinball Data Base' there are some photos, and info on this game.

    A pinsider found one just last year and posted here https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/i-picked-up-a-rare-one-
    Check it out. DRSFMD got his running and was going to replace some wiring.
    I notice yours has white marbles. Are there 6?
    You can run 6v dc to the solenoids and they should work although rather weak.
