Finally something to contribute! Been looking for a wedgehead to add to the lineup, and I just picked up a Gottlieb Sing Along. Backglass is blown, but the playfield cleaned up real nice. I'm still an EM newbie, so I wanted a working single player table that I could learn on as issues arise. The play counter says 4700 plays which doesn't seem like a lot to me for a 46 year old machine considering I've put about 30 games on it already.

The game is addicting as hell, and the art is incredibly charming. I'm sure I'll have some questions later.

Quoted from Gov:

Was that the free one that I missed?

Certainly wasn't free to me.

Quoted from EM-PINMAN:

Great find!
Pretty sure the counter has rolled over and you are looking at 104700 Plays.
I believe a repro Backglass will be available for this title in the near future.
Enjoy!
Ken

Ah. That makes -a lot- more sense.

Even so, for 100k plays, there is very little wear anywhere other than the kickout holes. I'm more than happy with the condition.

Quoted from Pafasa:

Hey ShameGov!, I'm pretty close to you and would love to help out

Absolutely! Can you help me hit that upper right "3" ? Arrgh.. So close!

Seriously thank you though. If anything, my short time in this hobby has taught me two things:

- there is no shortage of things that will break on your machine, and..
- there is no shortage of amazing people that will help you fix them.

Not a great pic, but here's my first EM resurrection- Card Whiz!

Lots of firsts with this one:
-first time cleaning score reels and stepper units
-first time reading and following a schematic for troubleshooting
-first time adjusting AS relays and AX relays (ugh.)
-first time fixing/replacing a Gottlieb drop target bank.

After a ball advance issue that took a solid week to track down (stupid AX relay...), she now works 100% and plays awesome. Such a good game.
