How are you ever going to restore MM 1 and yet retain the essence of it ? Color coordinated blue flipper coil shiny wrappers and yellow plastic plunger links. The brazed moat popper bracket with the rubber grommet on it when they brazed it. Pop bumper ring with the threads worn off and home made yokes. How will you ever plate that welded auto launch bracket ? The melted wire casings from a soldering iron.

As you take it apart, I wonder how many other surprises you'll find ?

Best wished Chris !

No.

It would be weird to have the same fade on three sides. And the color difference on MM's has come up in the past.

They might not be used. Could be parts ordered and then not used.

The red tool in the lower right of his picture. IDC Insertion Tool.

So a ball rolling down deflects and doesn't drain between the flippers.

Gotta love it. Threaded rod end breaks off of a pop bumper ring, weld it on. Flipper base plate breaks, weld the piece back on.

They had a welder. They probably didn't have parts.

There's a name from the past. I hope he's doing in and in good health.

Below the damsel tower in the right rear of the playfield.

Not in the manuals.
