    Picked up a paragon in real nice shape. Was told that machine has been in same family since bought new.
    Is there a volume control for the speaker? Game is very loud.

    Congratulations! Volume is adjustable, you just have to find the controls. It's probably inside the cabinet near the door.

    Volume control is a small (usually blue) potentiometer on the sound (small) board in the backbox

    Yeah. Awesome first pickup!

    I've said it before, but Paragon has some of the best art ever produced on a pin.

    Thanks all, i'll search for that pot. I also plan on replacing the rubbers.
    The plastic inserts on playfield are concave so ill need to remove them and sand them flat.
