As we all share the common hobby of pinball machines. I know many of us have other types of coin-operated games in our home gamerooms. Our home gameroom is a mixture of pinball machines, slots, classic vids, and a few other novelties to round it out. That being said, I wanted to share with my fellow pinball com padres my latest restoration project. It may not be a pinball machine, but it was a labor of love...and it does take money to play
I picked up this acquisition at the October 2012 American Amusement Auction in Mesquite, Texas. I picked up a non-working, but mostly complete 1954 Seeburg HF100R Jukebox for a mere $300. I figured for $300...I'd take a poke at it. I mean, if I couldn't get it working, I'm sure I probably wouldn't lose any money with such a small "initial" investment on my part. From initial inspection of the machine at the auction, I knew it was going to need some work to get going. The mech unit seemed to be seized up, title strip glass was smashed, one piece of the side glass was busted as well as one of the decorative waffle glasses down near the speaker grill.
Here is the first pic I took of it before diving in!
