    The game was neglected in an old warehouse that was falling apart without the playfield glass and lots of bad wear. It didn't boot.
    I fixed it all up and repaired the worn areas.

    Game would not boot. After a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, it's flipping once more

    Quoted from MinusWorlds:

    Did you get this in MA by chance?

    Originally, yes. But there was a different one listed one listed on Boston craigslist section a few months back.

    The one I restored is actually for sale again on the Utica NY CL section.

    Quoted from MinusWorlds:

    Ha! I was the first one to look at that. It's a really cool game. Had to pass as I knew it was waaaaay beyond my capabilities.

    It took me a while to get a handle on the game system, but I could probably repair another one without too much difficulty.

    The innards look a little scary at first glance, but it's not too bad, especially since there is now a lot of repair info that I put up on pinwiki.

    Quoted from MinusWorlds:

    Good on you. Glad it went to a good home. If I recall it came from Paragon Park...Cool piece of history.

    Hmmm....I'm not sure we're talking about the same game.

    I went back and looked at my files, and it actually came from downstate NY (a couple hours north of NYC), not MA like I originally thought (although I have gotten a handful of games from MA, hence the mixup). It was owned by a middle school tech/shop teacher and he didn't really have any history on the games since he had owned them for several years at that point.
