You may have read elsewhere. I picked up a '57 Williams Naples woodrail, was going to restore, but have decided against it because it will require a lot of detailed painting (and its not a pin I'm going to love working on). I'm not sure if it has value or not when the PF has so much wear and a plastic is broken, and I can't find much info on this one. Mechanically complete though. Advice would be appreciated.

I haven’t plugged in yet. I was going through everything. Some of the steppers are sluggish and everything could use a good cleaning. I figure between the schematic ($20) and brake cleaner, flex stones, rubbers, etc I would have to put about $50-100 into it. Would love to find this a good home.

I don't think it's an import. I think it was just a previous owner's sense of humor maybe.

I'm in southern Virginia.

I did think about a retheme (like an 50s Hawaii travel poster - wood board surfer look) where the playfield is stained and painted to look like different types of wood.\

But I'd hope not to decommission a pin if someone loves this era game.
