Hi Everyone,
I've posted bits and pieces on this restoration in a few other threads but thought I should give it it's own home.
a couple of months ago I acquired a partially working and worse for wear 1960 Williams Official Baseball. I had always dreamed of working on this title and the universe had presented me an opportunity I did NOT want to waste.
I knew that I'd be heading to Pinfest in ALLENTOWN and I set my self a challenge to get the project done within 50 days in order to bring the machine down for the free play area. I'm happy to report that I got it done with a few days to spare!
I also committed to document the process in a day-by-day photo journal on a local forum:
If you're a real glutton for punishment, here's the Flikr album with every single shot I took from day 1 to day 45.

For those who prefer the coles notes version, I'll post before and after pics of the project below.
