    You forgot the poll, but my vote would be Williams hands down.

    I can completely clean, replace coil sleeves and reassemble a Williams 4-player head in about an hour. Awhile back, I started cleaning the score reels on one of the two Target Alpha’s heads I have. I finished only two reels in one hour. They have been sitting ever since. I have considered paying someone who knows them better to shop out both heads. It will be money well spent.

    Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

    Darn! I was looking for a Target Alpha head and just bought one to be delivered to Pinfest! Surprised there’s so many floating around.

    Actually, I have two complete project Target Alphas. Both are somewhat playable, trashed backglasses. They sat somewhere on the East Coast for about 20+ years. A friend bought them about six years ago at Allentown to make a homepin. Homepin never happened, then they fell into my hands when he got tired of looking at them. Both backdoors were missing, probably forever. All of the score reels in both heads are gunked up and seized. Need an extensive cleaning. Pretty much the only thing keeping both machines from working. I’ll get to them one day.
