Brought my Darling home

This is the first EM that I have owned in nearly 25 years! While working on some pins for a gentleman, I was offered this, for a deal I couldn’t turn down! He had begun a restoration, before he got sick. It is currently completely and utterly dead, but I think it will be a pretty easy fix. Going to pick up some new fuses tomorrow and see what happens.

All in all, it seems to be in really good shape. The inserts were replaced with the wrong style, so I have ordered the correct ones.

Does anyone know where to get the insert decals for this table?

Thanks! It seems to be in great shape overall. I finally found a schematic, so next bit of free time I get, I am going to start going thru it.

You'll have to get the help of another pinsider to get scans of the artwork on the old inserts (unless you still have them). You can replace the artwork with waterslide decals or airbrushing (using a vinyl cutter to cut paint mask).

I kind of figured this would be the outcome.
I think I will pull them out of the Visual Pinball version of this table, send them off to a buddy's print shop and see what he can do with them.

There are other options too like dry rub-on transfers -- https://customrubontransfers.com/

Looks like it will clean up nicely! I love the kick outs where the slings would normally be. World Cup (78') has them and while I only owned the game for about 6 months, that layout always gets me excited. Lots of interesting tidbits on these EM's.

Thanks

Have you used these? How do they hold up, to having a heavy steel ball roll over them?
