A friend contacted me last week that he was being given two pins, a Sure Shot and Skylab. We were suppose to meet up today so yesterday he called to confirm and told me that I could have the Sure Shot for helping him pick up the game.

Game was in the garage since the 80s when the family was given the games by a former employer. The husband died earlier this year so the wife is downsizing and passed these games onto my friend whose wife knew the family. IMG_3408 (resized).JPG

Glass is nice, some flaking around the score reels and Game Over IMG_3417 (resized).JPG

Cabinet after cleaning out a couple mouse carcasses. Mouse dropping were not horrible but still pretty nasty. Removed bottom panel to thoroughly clean. IMG_3419 (resized).JPG

Will post some more pics and progress as I get the game up and running.

Cleaned up the head a little with simple green and melamine. I like the game's patina so I'm not looking to restore but wondered about preserving the paint on the head. Anyone use anything to stop paint from flaking off of the cabinet?

It is already flaking in spots. Just really small flakes but with cats and kids I'd like to prevent it getting everywhere.

Will do
