Quoted from Blake:

I've got a Jolly Ride Single-Player single player version that still needs to be restored. Picked it up this fall. And as many have already stated, playfield looks unscathed except for the loads of dirt and debris on top. Back glass seems good. Lower cab is swollen (chip board) and flaking bad. Both underside of playfield and lower control board all look in great condition.
Really excited to get to this one.

I have the schematics for that one if you need them.

Is your backglass actual glass? Mine is plastic. Also, the design on my head doesn't match the design on the body. I'm not complaining though, the machine is a crazy nice HUO.

Quoted from Blake:

Wow! That is a beauty. How long have you had it? Schematics would be fantastic as what I had was damaged beyond salvaging from mice. They made quite the nest with it. The head on yours looks to be swapped as mine matches the body. Back glass I want to say is plastic, but I can't say for sure. I put it away in storage towards the end of the year and haven't been able to dive into it much other then a thorough vacuuming. Couldn't find a pic of the head.

Thanks, I just got my Jolly Ride in September. Real nice guy from Long Island posted it on Pinside. He's not a big pinball guy, but had the machine since he was 15. Had to do a double take when I saw the ad.

I bet that playfield cleans up nice, and the underside looks great. Looks like you'll have to come up with some kind of cabinet plan though.

I'll scan or take a pic of the schematics when I get a chance. I forget how large they are, might fit on a copy machine at work.

That would be great. Thanks

No problem, it's a good size. Don't think it will fit on the scanner at work....

Can also download here (pic might be higher res)....

Quoted from Raff:

Just picked up a playmatic Last lap the only problem
It is missing the pedestal" which supports the backbox
I'm going to make one up any one have the measurements for it. Thanks in advance.
Raff

If it's the same as Jolly Ride I can send pics and measurements if you'd like. Haven't put it back together yet after Pinfest, so would be super easy.
