So I've been wanting a pinball machine for awhile now, not much available near me in Iowa. Came across a Whirlwind locally and decided to jump on it. So the power cord has a spot for a ground but it's missing, I'm guessing I need to fix that? Also the score panel was missing some segments at first but it seems to have fixed itself. Also the ball lock will not lock, as soon as I get one down there it'll just kick it right out. Either way I'm excited, not scared to work on it. Any tips for a new guy, I'll listen. By the way I'm located in the Quad Cities in Iowa.

Thanks for all the advice everyone! First project is the power cord. I'll be stopping by the hardware store today before work. And luckily I do have the manual it was buried way in the back under the playfield in a brown paper envelope with another manual and all sorts of little inserts ads and game rule cards etc...
