Quoted from dothedoo:

Let me guess, just needed a fuse, right? Lemme see...........I don't have a 2 amp fuse in here. What if we use this 20 amp one I got?

oh look a carriage bolt, this will work better lol.

Quoted from twisty4678:

Over fused? This doesn't help my irrational fear of my pins burning down the house.

I don't think that was caused by the mpu..... Looks like there were a few machines at a warehouse somewhere that burned, this was 1 of the few that was offered for sale by coin op warehouse.

Quoted from PACMAN:

Looks like this now

I see you found the pyramid style rubber matting you were looking for.

Quoted from PACMAN:

Probably some rare treasures hiding in there.

I picked up this rare bird from a warehouse local to me. It's a Hang on caberet. I haven't fully gone through the 1 warehouse yet and have 4 more to go on top of that.

Quoted from ryan1234:

This is worse than a coffee table conversion. Yep, it’s a sink.
This poor pin needs euthanized.

Gee that doesn't look photoshopped

From the touch of side art left.......
Looks like





A 65 Bally "Magic Circle".

But it has a gottlieb style score motor.

Quoted from Darcy:

Picture from IPDB of the motor board for a Magic Circle.

Huh, I'll be dammed. lol. What a waste of a machine tho, not a thing is salvageable.

Quoted from Cheddar:

a correct part in the wrong place. Took me a moment to see it

Correct part? Remind me to never buy a pin from you if you don't know the difference between a nylon acorn nut and a nylon locking nut...

Quoted from Dono:

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...

It's easy really, he touched up some spots and it reacted with the clear.

Quoted from Ceckitti:

I found this photo from many many years ago. I think it was on RGP. Cant remember the story behind it. I THINK they were using something to clean the playfield and it was highly flammable and it ignited.
[quoted image]

I remember this story, they were using zippo lighter fluid.

Working on a gottlieb Jack's to Open. Not total horror, more amazement. Battery pack is from 1983. Never leaked, dead as a door nail though. Being replaced with an nvram.

Quoted from ryanbrooks:

Reminds me of the infamous Gorgar service CALLS (yes, multiple) where I went to peoples homes to fix their pin and the face is scratched off the BG, and a decal over his face on the PF because they “couldn’t have the devil in their home”.

I always thought 1 of the calls was "gorgar beat meat" but it was supposed to be "gorgar beat me" I think. Lol
