I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but, I was wondering if you guys think it's worth restoring. This is my first ever pinball machine I've owned so I'm not really knowledgeable about their parts and mechanisms yet.

Heck yes, that is in nice shape. And one of the most desirable wedge heads to boot. Shay made backglasses for these too. start stripping the playfield taking lots of pictures and magic eraser the playfield. If root targets are broken steve young can fix them for you, if your unable too. Cant see the cabinet very well, but that can be repaired as well.

Since this is your first game, do some research before tearing things apart--read repair guides, and look at restoration threads.

Keep an eye out for what is safe to disassemble, and what might be too risky to disassemble if it's still in working order (ie, the risk of breaking a fragile, unobtainable part, or tinkering with a mechanism that doesn't need to be tinkered with)
