That lock bracket on the coin door looks like a real knee cracker!
Cabinet looks good... is that electrical tape on the playfield?
All in all, a great deal, and a great first pin!
Quoted from DanDaMan:Yes, it is electrical tape - I'm not sure why the previous owner did that but assume since it is a busy section of the playfield that it likely wore in that area causing the ball to not roll straight? Or maye the wood has a hairline crack under the tape? At least that is my thinking why the previous owner did that. I was thinking of removing it but your comment likely suggests I definately should - right?
A classic wear area - under the kick-out holes. Underneath probably looks a little worse than the kick-out on the right. Let's wait for other opinions on what to do about it...
Had to verify from IPDB:
"Four flipper-shaped plastics at top of playfield are used as stationary ball guides."
I've never seen this before, is it unique? Unique enough for IPDB to call it out specifically as a note...
Quoted from pinhead52:Central Park and Hurdy Gurdy has fixed flippers at top...
Quoted from novaguy:Check out Universe.
OK, I guess I need to get out more 
I'll stop highjacking DanDaMan 's thread and we can get back to admiring his new pin.
With regard to 4 - the credit unit is located directly behind the credit display in the backbox. While the pin is unplugged, you can manipulate the two solenoids by hand to add and subtract credits. Observe the action of the switches on the side of the credit unit in relation to the credits displayed. You can compare the switch positions to the photos here:
