Here's one of many that I own.. a 1948 Genco TRIPLE ACTION. Machine has just 112 plays and I believe to be a proto as credit wheel is blank.. no white paint.. no numbers.. no anything. Game has never worked.. all leaf switches were in standard position.. just as they would be if you replaced them all with NOS.. everything dead straight with too many Bakelite spacers to even make contact. Playfield has zero wear. But my favourite has to be the factory issue Allen key stapled to the PF underside for operator adjustments. Game came with 2 NOS apron cards which have never been attached. She's been put away for a couple of years due to lack of space ( im working on it) but I did get her running 90% and look forward to adding to the collectionTA (1).JPGTA (1).JPGTA (1).JPGTA (1).JPGTA (4).JPGTA (4).JPGTA.JPGTA.JPGTriple action (3).JPGTriple action (3).JPGTriple Action (11).JPGTriple Action (11).JPGTriple Action (12).JPGTriple Action (12).JPG

Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

Very nice additions indeed - congratulations! I have a World Champ as well and Rocket and Rocket Ship are on my wish list.

Thanks... WORLD CHAMP is Add A Ball version.. check out the word " BALLS" in the backglass where its normally credits that are shown.
ROCKET is a much much better playing game than many of my woodrails... its getting ALL the love right now. Was on my wish list for a long time and now its here, I don't think I could ever move it on.. really is a great player

Quoted from hoov:

Wow,
Super nice restoration job there. I can see lots of hours went into you BaB but it will be well worth it! The touch-up and clear looks great. The cabinet turned out super nice too. If I were you I'd be anxious to play it if it's been a few years now........
Are you going to apply any webbing on the cabinet?

Webbing is there and the game has been up and running for quite a while now, its in a part of the house where my wife allows very tidy machine to reside and is in a line up with World Champ and WMS Rocket.. theres been a lot of fine tuning along the way and it plays great and fast. Once the drop down balls are done, the restoration is complete. The PF is not a touch up.. I literally repainted everything using my airbrush and freehand work.. not one piece of original paint is left, its all been covered up. The plastics are all mine too.. remade with 3mm acrylic

Oh my.. nice Slick Chick. If you want it rated as asked then the rating is "slightly played".. what you have is what all classic EM collectors want.. a great player with minimal wear. The ultimate machine is to find a great player that has not been played that much.. you have one. Leave the bloody thing alone!
