Well, this was a fun experience for me...one of the pipes burst in my house, and it just so happens that the pipe that did blow was near my machines.

And, well...let's just hope I can prevent major warping.

Any advice? Haha...ha...

The MVP of the pipe burst shit storm...my Keith Holbrook Clearcoated NOS Whirlwind playfield took the brunt of the water BUT....it had been wrapped in plastic and took only a few hits on the corners. PHEW!

Doubtful on the Sky Jump as the front part of the cabinet and inside where the coin box was did have water on the edge. The Whirlwind I have has been through the mill as was left outside under a tarp for years and years from its previous owner. So for it this is probably small time stuff lol.

Got a fan, demudifier going, and my dad blasted out the bits of water with an air compressor.

Looks like the majority of any water damage hit the front of the cabinets, with Sky Jump taking the hardest hit.

The Whirlwind playfield was sitting on top of the Sky Jump at the time, so that actually took the biggest hit, but man that plastic wrap, so glad I did not remove it.

The ultimate irony...my Surf 'n Safari, themed around a water park, did not get a drop on it lol.

So fortunately, it wasn't a burst pipe that was spraying everywhere, but a pipe fixture that broke up in the bathroom above. Still sucks, but it means the water wasn't spraying everywhere and instead was concentrated to one particular spot, aka the front part of the Whirlwind and Sky Jump.

Things are drying out pretty well right now.
