I just joined the club! Holy moly I've got some work on my hands... Been sitting in a warehouse for years.

It's missing the power transformer, the shooter rod assembly, and two coils. The left flipper is all wacked out and is missing at least a sleeve. One of the displays is marked "bad" in sharpie on the glass...

No battery damage to the boards, but lots (and I mean LOTS) of dust. The backglass is pretty decent, it has bubbled all over but is mostly intact and looks good from the front.

Playfield is pretty worn. All the ramps and hard to find plastic parts, however, are all there and working.

Cabinet is average for it's age. Some planking and flaking, but not all beat to heck and easily fixed.

I'm gonna start with the transformer and missing coils. If I can bring it back to life, I'll order a new shooter rod, rebuild the flippers, and then figure out how much restoration I'm going to attempt on the PF.

My wife said I needed a project, and that I should go look at it. Mission accomplished, I now have a winter project!!

I know, right? Hard to believe but I got a good one. She plays as much as I do!

Quick question for any Comet owners out there, is there supposed to be a plastic ball detent as part of the plunger kicker assembly? Mine is pretty bungled up, and I'm not sure if there is supposed to be a small plastic piece above the ball sensor switch for the ball to rest in or not.

Thx guys. I've got some serious work ahead of me!

Give her some good lovin' Scott!! She deserves it.
