At first glance I was not sure what I got my self into. However I have wanted an embryon so I took a gamble and brought this home today.
After looking it over for a while I noted the positives:

Found 11 cents inside.
Its all working and playable with a drop target bank switch issue.
All the fuses are the correct value. Thats a first for me!
The bottom side of the playfied is really clean! I was actually shocked how nice the underside looked after seeing the top side.
The playfield mylar was found safely stored rolled up inside the lower cabinet so it is still mint NOS!
It came with the manual. I count that as a plus.

The bad so far seems like typical things for a machine that looks to have been left untouched for many years.
Rubbers are all fossilized and most actually just break apart so they are easy to remove.
Needs a new plastic set. Most are still good some are bad may as well go with a new set.
Pop caps all went straight in the trash.

Anyone have any idea what the 2 wood blocks were for? I assume they were shipping blocks of some kind

Some bookkeeping info written in the manual from 1982

The playfield does have some bad wear by the upper drop targets but after some cleaning for a little while I got the lower playfield looking a bit better. The playfield will not be perfect and I am ok with that. Im not doing a playfield restoration just going to clean it up as best I can to make it look nice and enjoy playing it.

I took a gamble on it in my opinion but after a bit of cleaning I'm happy with how it will turn out. Not sure how quickly ill get to posting update on it though.

No extra plastics, I started stripping the playfield. I have 2 broken ones though. I would like to just replace the bad ones rather than buy a whole new set but I don't know how easy it will be to find used ones.

Did a bit more cleaning today lots more to do yet. I don't think I am going to do much more than just a good cleaning.

Is there any use for a NOS mylar?

I just used simple green and a bit of novus 2 to clean the playfield. I still have to wax it yet. I'm working on getting some parts orders together for several projects in the meantime while I clean.
Thanks to swampfire I am getting the 2 plastics that I need to replace. The other plastics are good/ok for the most part, I can live with them.
I am ok with the playfield as it is, however I would most likely pick up a repro playfield if they were ever made.

I cleaned all the drop targets yesterday. They look good to me being original.
I debated on buying the ultrasonic cleaner A while back but I'm glad I did.

Some reassembly today. I ran out of bulbs so this is as far as I got.

I appreciate the reply, but I was able to get the 2 plastics that I need from swampfire. I'm trying not to go overboard on this project for now its way too easy to spend a ton of money. I figure I can always buy a plastic set in the future if it really bothers me.

The plastic on the right is actually a new repro plastic! Thanks swampfire!

Got some stuff in the mail yesterday from Pinball Resource. I already have a list of the things I forgot in this order for other projects.

Did some work today. I decided to go with regular bulbs for now, I will get around to LEDs in the future when I feel like blowing more money. I have some of the boards out of the machine so a lot of the bulbs aren't lighting in the pictures. I know I pictured the alltek board but that was more of an as long and i'm ordering thing...

BTW I have always liked Red Green. No idea what you mean by upper midwest at least not related geographically to when I happen to live.

I finally found the source of the runaway scoring problem this machine had.
Coin up the game and constant scoring until you drop the left 3 target bank. Switch test said switch 28 was closed which it was not. I changed the diode and still closed. I changed the cap no more closed switch and no more runaway scoring.

I'm on my way to doing that at this point. For now its mostly working through the issues to a functional state. I'm working on a fireball classic at the same time as this so its a lot of double duty with switches and connectors.

The cabinet is good overall. Have to be careful cleaning the cabinet though. That silver paint comes off super easy!
Some before and after of the front of the cabinet. I still have to fill the credit button hole I may just leave it...

Back glass is in really great shape.

I've got it functional now. The saucer was not kicking the ball, bad transistor. The flashers were not working alltek lamp driver fixed that. I put a few leds under the playfield but not all the under playfield lights are installed since i'm nearly out of 555 bulbs.
Next update, not sure when, will be with leds installed.

I tried the comfort bright frosted bulbs from Comet. Warm white in the back box, natural white in the GI, frosted blue in the lane guides pops and inserts.
I like the warm white in the back box but it doesn't look right with the natural white in the GI. It just looks off. Not sure...

Pop bumper caps are supposed to look blue, however they look purple in the picture. I am going to get some ice blue leds and try them. The blue looks good but too dark for my liking.
I'm thinking lighted blue flippers sometime in the future.
Trying to finish other projects for now. I'm happy with it so far, i'll get back around to doing more in the future.

Doing a bit more work on this lately. Thinking about bringing this to MGC so I ought to get all the bugs worked out.
I changed to cool white comfort bright in the backbox I think it looks better than the warm white. The backglass just looks odd with the purple colors maybe the blue backglass would look more normal.

I'm not doing a restoration on this. Fixing it would involve clearcoating the playfield. Maybe one day but not right now, maybe i'll hold out for a CPR playfield
