Quoted from ThatOneDude:

I suggest getting 2 of them. I would have glued this up today, but I think another one on top will hold the joint better.

Quoted from JodyG:

23 years ago, I was stepping off my boat on to the dock at my house. My foot slipped as I was stepping off the boat and my left leg fell into the boat while I was stepping off with my light. This resulted in me hyperextending my right knee, spraining the big toe on my left foot, and tearing my bean bag on the boat's rope cleat as I fell in the water...slamming my shoulder on the edge of the dock as I fell in the water. I got 5 stitches in my sack and 12 in my shoulder and I still have trouble with my knee.
Up until the moment I saw these pics, that was the most painful thing I had ever experienced.

Quoted from Pinkitten:

reminded me of this ribbon candy my nana used to put out at Xmas 30 years ago.

Quoted from Beatnik-Filmstar:

And you made me think of these monstrosities that I'm pretty sure only came out around Christmas and were everywhere you turned while shopping.

Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

What on earth game is this?!

Looks like the glass was off it and it had a severe rat infestation. In the very first picture inside the game, you can see a massive rat nest. [quoted image]
Game is probably rotten. Rat piss destroyed the playfield.
At that stage, parts.
Only if you’re brave!

Quoted from Nikrox2:

Gottlieb “Pin Wheel”. Didn’t turn out too bad. And found why they had a clothes pin on that EOS. (Looked closed but nothing there to make contact. Lol)

Quoted from JayDee:

Day 3 of cleaning up glass. And I still haven’t started the playfield or inside the cabinet yet
This thing literally exploded all over the room

Quoted from Velluminous:

Not mine; pics/post stolen from a facebook group.. hope he doesn't mind, but had to share the horror pics! That's a lot of mouse house in that cabinet. Thankfully there is a happy ending, since these machines are being saved.

Is that... carpet on the side of a pinball machine?

Quoted from mnrocketry:

You have to use your imagination a little bit for this one.
The first photo shows where an operator stored some of his games - in an open-sided former cattle shed next to a silo. Both photos are of the same spot. The left side photo was taken in November of 2002 and the right side photo in August of 2009.
The pinball horror? If you look in the center of both photos, there is an orange shape sticking up above the other games. That's the body (standing vertically) of an Atari Hercules. Everything in this shed was covered in a combination of dirt and varmint crap and stunk like you wouldn't believe.
The same operator had a second Hercules stored in another old shed (second photo). In 2002, my crazy friend made an offer to buy both Hercules, but the guy wouldn't sell them.

Quoted from Dono:

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.

Wow - that's a legit biohazard as it sits!

Quoted from Neal_W:

We are all a little sentimental about orange Chargers of that era. That's why we need a licensed Dukes of Hazzard pin to go with the recent homebrew!

Quoted from Ralph67:

Not to horrible but Bees! All good now bees removed, no bees hurt. Was outside with cover on and queen moved in along with the swarm. I suggested to put the machine inside.

Quoted from Playdium:

I'm in the process of stripping the playfield for a cleaning and waxing. All posts and rubbers getting changed out, as well as going all LED. The Pop bumpers will get broken down with new skirts added.
As far as the "Cliffy Protectors", don't those tear up the balls due to the raised metal edge?

Quoted from bigguybbr:

Just a soulless male mannequin in a skirt and wig enjoying some pinball. Nothing to see here...
