Nice find on a 69 joust
these Ballys can be interesting - good luck

ran into a guy who collects only Bally EMs this year
I mean the guy really knew what he was talking about could tell you anything A-Z

The PF looks good as far as I can tell , have you cleaned/waxed it yet?
the back box side art needs to be re-done and since your doing that you may as well do the rest of the cab art on the pin.
I thing PBR has those pop bumper caps - common to see the #s worn off over the years.

sometimes it takes more then a few attempts to get the score reels working perfectly,
you can change out the reels from player #2 to player #1 when you get the hang of adjustments.
Some EMs seam to wake up a bit when doing this trick since most of there life was composed of 1 player games, not knowing your experience level I would hold off a bit and focus on switch gap and cleaning when bringing the game back to 100%.

After seeing the vid I'm starting to digg this game -like the upper right area roll over section.
Bally sometimes will award the bonus points through the normal exit from the PF but also other bonus sections through the side lanes .

Good luck with it, and keep us updated looks like a fun project - HDC

Well what I meant was just the wheel with the #s not the whole unit itself,
-just to be clear

thats what you have to do,
un solder or de solder them to remove the pops
-not hard we all have to do it

you know that doesn't look bad at all - I've seen a lot worse over the years
Are you planing on clear coating it?
