    This is my first pin, Bride of Pinbot. When I bought "The Machine" it was dirty, slow, burnt out. It was in dire need of an owner who would take care of her the way she deserves. After purchasing the Pin from a guy who didn't even know there was a free play option, I started to get to work on making her pop. This is what it looks like after I shopped it out, changed rubbers, bulbs, cleaned everything, and waxed the pf.
    A lot of time and effort was spent on improving her, but every minute I could spend working on the machine was an enjoyable one. I found myself dreaming about the next improvement that could be done.
    I am fortunate to have a friend who bought a pin just before me, and sparked my interest. He also saw the ad on craigslist, and told me to pull the trigger.
    Thanks to all of you on this forum for all of the help and support!

    I used alcohol and magic eraser to clean the pf, novice #1 to buff the plastic, and about 5 coats of carnuba wax paste.
    It does seem like a hard game, all that wax makes it soo fast. I have only made her sing once.

    It is in good condition but not "minty" some cracked ramps and pf damage makes me lose sleep every night. see pic below.
