Quoted from tfduda:United Mexico on eB$y. The description states that the "Key lock was drilled out."

Funny... what's with the orange lined coin slide? Weird.

Walk, don't run... termites are nothing to roll the dice on... hope you aren't bringing that into your home prior to professionally fumigating that bad boy.
At least the guy admits it... but how the frick do you apply any topcoat resulting in a messy, oozy, awful mess! Never seen anything quite this bad...

Damn, looked like this pin sat in the desert for 20 years, then got soaked with a thunderstorm or two resulting in a rust bloom... love the brown ball sitting on that playfield so lonely... brutal!
Someone posted this in the projects for sale thread... take a peak inside the game... looks like the beginnings of the "blob" are forming inside the coin door. Egads!
Quoted from Colsond3:I actually still have a very nice one that I restored for my daughter when she was younger. Picked it up as a total shit show. It’s a fun game for kids, and costs next to nothing.
I even powdercoated the legs, which is probably half of what the machine is worth.
I’m absolutely certain no one else on all of Pinside can say they have a restored Wico Big Top. LOL.

Big Top... it's right up there with 70s pins from Chicago Coin... playfield snooze-fest appeal on par.
Sad to see all these games rot into oblivion. I too have a close relative who was a very successful operator in the south. Word is that he's got about 300 games - 50% pins, the rest video and bingos... he won't sell or let anyone near his games. They're currently rotting in an old school that he bought in the late 80s... the roof to the school is now leaking and degrading badly, putting some serious hurt to his games. When I last talked to him in 2009, he was bragging up a storm that he had 8 Addams Family pins, but wouldn't budge on selling me one of them. Frustrating and very odd... he was offered 65K at one time for the whole lot and wouldn't budge. Now most of it is ruin and parts games.
