This is my love a 1960ish Williams Darts. It was purchased by my father from an ad in the newspaper in 1970 or 71. The coin mechanism was disabled somehow when he bought it and I hope to eventually correct that problem. For 50 years we have manually turned the credit wheel. It has not been cleaned, waxed or serviced in all that time and until this past October has sat in a basement untouched for 30 years.

This is how it looked the day it arrived at my home. The bands, balls and light bulbs were never changed.

It was dirty but not horrible. I am amazed the playfield isn't chewed up from those old balls. After a good cleaning and a waxing it looks good. The plastics aren't cracked or curling. A little soak in some Dawn and warm water brightened them up without flaking.

It was trial and error on cleaning to not remove the paint. In the end Sam's Club brand antibacterial kitchen wipes did the best with no loss of paint.

Before putting the glass back on. My kid is attempting to paint the wording on the bumper caps before I buy replacements. I would prefer to keep the original because they are in excellent condition otherwise.

I found these goodies inside. Dad didn't even know they were there.

Quoted from pinwiztom:

Love the letter to WMS from the IRS explaining if a pin is an amusement device or gaming device for tax purposes.
Should submit some of those document photos and S/I cards to ipdb.org

I will reach out and see if they are interested.
