I don't think I have posted these yet...
Someone left Dolly out in the weather. She'll never get played again but her guts will live on in a Bally Star Trek scratch-built machine.

Mr & Mrs PacMan suffered the same fate. Most of the machinery there will end up in my KISS and EBD.

Why. Just, why? It's a players level Mystic that I would like to restore and play. Add wiring harness to the to-do list. Seriously, why? Is it easier to store without all the wire and connectors? Its not like they cut it off to sell it for anything but scrap!

Quoted from doompin:Yes. It had been rained on for years. The head literally crumbled into dust. The back glass is so bare that it's hard to tell what the image actually is. It's sad but some are just too far gone.
Also had mice living in it. Chewed up wires everywhere.
I'd be happy to take that play field off your hands if you still have it...

Seems legit!

I went to the Phoenix show a couple years ago and there was a Taxi with a completely paintless playfield. Smoothest game I ever played.

I'd take the transformer and play field brackets for a few bucks plus shipping...
OOp. Nevermind. Just saw you are from a land far, far away!

Yeah, Supersonic and the play field is probably delaminating. But there is soooo much to take away from this. Every switch, mechanism, wire form, coin door, shooter plate can be used again for someone's project. The cross bar that locks the back glass in the head is getting impossible to find. The sound card has been reproduced. Side rails? Legs?
Or, put $1000 into making a $600 game. New case, overlay and a buttload of time and she'll be good as new! And I mean that seriously. My EBD was a $300 salvage off the back of a truck at TPF. The only thing original is the playfield equipment.

Quoted from Azfalconfixer:Repairing the bottom of a Lost World. Love the 70's paneling.
Someone went through an awful lot of trouble to drill all those holes...

Quoted from vdojaq:What router bit did you use for the joint?

I put this in a shaper at work. I would recommend a router table or shaper table. It's close enough to the original.

" but this is worth saving."
Boom. Just my kind of project. Complete, but two steps from the dumpster. Have fun with it!

Kicking myself for not getting any pictures of the Bally Vector at the Houston area arcade show last weekend. Covered top to bottom with a glued on puke green fabric. Cab, legs and even the legbolts. Hilariously horrific!
Quoted from P1nhead:I bought a Freedom 76 with the harness cut 5cm from the Jones plugs... that was the definition of tedium putting it back together.
My first pin was a Duotron with the head removed and all wiring neatly cut. Beltman brought my Bobby Orr with legs on and a blanket around the head which was wobbling like a drunken sailor. Had to rebuild the neck but it wasn't bad from the move. Was already rotten.

(Neither I nor the pinsider who gave me this were responsible for this mess)

Welp, the head bolts did their job...

Quoted from sevenrites:Lol @ whoever marked that puke image unsafe. Seems like abusive behavior. That’s more unsafe than anything in this thread.
I'm a sympathy puker from way back. Had to scroll fast as soon as I figured out what I was looking at!

Quoted from sevenrites:This is actually a real thing apparently.
Yeah it is... Sight, sound or smell can wind me up! A terrible thing when on a ship full of candy asses being sea sick.
Puke seal it is! LOL

Quoted from RockfordReplay:Connectors? BAH! We don't need no stinking connectors.
Isn't that what those nice big pads are for?
Quoted from PinballGalore:This one is taken care of, question is if any skipped over to any of the other games
Most likely carpenter ants. Look around where the game had been sitting. If you see any small sawdust looking piles where the IJ game was that's just them cleaning house. If you see any little piles under your other games, time to investigate. Had the same problem in a BOPP that came to me from Florida. Saw the little piles appear in the garage a few weeks after it arrived. Fortunately they were only in the head. Lower cab was fine, just had to replace the head.

Quoted from Eric_S:Not sure what to think of this bridge rectifier I picked up in a package deal for electronic parts.[quoted image]
This was likely assembled in the late 80's.
