I cringe every time I see an ad that says BARN FIND. The rust that must be on those. But I am sure he says they are rare.

Quoted from jmountjoy111:

You would be shocked what a tumbler and an ultrasonic cleaner would take care of

True, but I was thinking water damage. No ultrasonics can fix that against wood.

Nice old game but worst case of flaking I have every seen in a craigslist ad!

Quoted from Darcy:

Wait till I post the Flying High Backglass, I just picked up.

Got a NEW worst backglass check it out on the projects thread. A Gulfstream that the guy wants a $100.00.

Now if you can bring it back to life and without a new BACKGLASS you are the KING of restoration!

I can't believe the guy was going to trash it or at least part it out.

Not that I know of but the owners of such neglected pinballs should be punished for their crimes.

#1012 6 years ago

As some pinsider here told me ultrasonics do wonders with rust. Wish more people in my state liked EM's. tumble weed rolls by...

Quoted from Star_Gazer:

WOW! And that's 1000 post's (and 562 horrific photos!), actually gdonovan had the honor some days ago! Great job Pinsiders keep the horror coming!

I thought maybe as a prize he would at least win one of those horrible, horrible pins that we have seen.

But maybe not having one is the prize???

#1027 6 years ago

That's not so bad with the professor's help and a couple of coconuts it will be working in no time!

Gary's quote: Well I do own a Big Ben, I'm told that is pretty horrible! Gary I have to say they are not as bad as some say. I think of ones where the first ball comes down and you flip it and it goes down the middle are ones I hate.

Quoted from songofsixpence:

I brought this Harlem Globetrotters home today. It is the grossest pinball machine I have ever seen.

In addition to being disgusting, it's missing the displays, MPU and SDB
The prudent thing to do, would be to pull the sound card, and PS board - and pitch the rest off a roof. Unfortunately, I have never been called "prudent"
I have already started work on this one. Wish me luck

One question. How much did they pay you to take it?

Quoted from ForceFlow:

Good grief...what were they trying to do with all those wires?

What we have here is Joe Pesci selling his pinball machine. Did the guy he bought it off of keep saying Ok..ok..ok.. I've got this..I can fix this...?

Let's see how good you are on flaking repair? Can you save the patient? Found on CL and way to high for that BG being involved.

Quoted from Mitoska:

I bought to many plants for the garden this year so I made a planter box next to the garage for some extra vine tomatoes[quoted image]

The only thing that I could see wrong would be the possible toxic materials from the inside? Lead from the battery or the paint?
