Sounds like a nice project
does the game still have a coin door and any hardware ?

Yes post a photo,
also on some of the old woodrails you had to hit the flipper button to turn on the pf I think?
not sure if that was on a GTB or not?

Nice looking BG never seen one before

PF means "playfield". Hey I think you have one of the old Gottlieb that are sought after by collectors. You may want to research your pin a little and gauge it's worth.

World's first pinball with Flippers!!
Historically quite significant.

For a game of this era, the best online tech resources will be on rec.games.pinball. Post your questions with "EM Tech:" in the subject line. Probably the easiest way to access RGP if you haven't before is to use rgparchive-removed.com.

Oh, I can probably get you a picture, I just realized. Tonight is PPMs fix-it night and they have one in the museum. Still, if we're talking coin mech, there could be a few variations since many were probably bypassed to enable free play, so you may still want to post in RGP.

Email them, but also introduce yourself in person. Weirdos are ok. Weirdos with hygiene problems are not ok.

I didn't make the last one or yesterday unfortunately. Last week I had to work late. This week I got sick!

Looks like you have your work cut out for you this Winter Flick
As for the playfield lights 1st look at to fuse and holders then find the 'hold' relay
when ever the game 'tilts' this relay will lose power and turn off the lights so if you cant I.D. the relays and the game will set up 'make' the tilt like with a pen or pencil and look for a relay to trip other then the 'tilt' relay. hope this helps some

Have you had sucess in restoring the Humpty Dumpty? I found one at an auction a couple of months ago and I am having some of the problems you had. I am having problems with the of the coin mechanism and ball drop mechanisms. Can you post pics of these? I am also missing the coil to the counter. Thanks.

I have a complete, disassembled Humpty Dumpty, game, head, cabinet, playfield, etc. I may be willing to sell to someone who is doing a restoration. This game is beyond restoration for the most part and was in pieces and water damaged, but most of the parts are there. Contact me if interested.

What condition is the backglass in?

I have an original 1947 schematic for Humpty Dumpty - can't be too many around! Would probably sell it.

I know this is an old thread, but I have detailed pictures of every part of the Humpty Dumpty machine along with fuse ratings. Let me know if I can help. I am currently restoring 2 Humpty Dumpty machines, one will be a museum quality, all original parts. The other will likely use some new replacement parts. I am still looking for any scans of the backglass or sites with replacement backglass or even a plastic translite.

Thanks.

Some general pictures of both machines. Also 2 pics of the plastics I experimented with "de-yellowing" using hydrogen peroxide and leaving in the sun. Overall, I am pleased with the results, but it did fade the blue numbers and lettering quite a bit. I was planning on repainting that part, so I'm ok with that, but 2 days of treatment was too much.
