I bought a Flipper Parade a couple of months ago - from a local antique shop in the street where I live, in Hastings, UK. The first pinball machine to turn up locally in the 15 years I've lived here. Now gradually fixing and cleaning. Three short videos here:

Nice game. Good luck with the restoration. Thanks for the videos. Great pinball. Great artwork and animation in backglass. I had a Flipper Cowboy from around the same era.

Thanks for the comments! Spent three hours on the legs/cabinet today. Just got some TripleThick for the backglass. More videos in a week or two.

Video Part Five now online:

Hoping I can get the pop bumpers back together without too many problems - I've printed out the online guides and it all seems fairly straightforward. Cleaning off the cigarette tar from the cabinet without damaging the paint has been tough, but I'm getting there.
