Williams FunFest electro-mechanical pinball machine, made in 1973.
The machine powers on and performs a partial reset, but does not get far enough to start a game. But there's nothing wrong with this machine that a little cleaning and maintenance won't fix. It's 45 years old and in great shape for its age; these things were built to last.
All of the relays, solenoids, steppers, motors, score reels, and switches appear to work properly. Some might need a bit of cleaning, lubrication, and small adjustments.
The original instruction manual *with schematics* are included. Keys to the coin door and back box are included. There's no coin box. The back glass, playfield, and cabinet have wear and scratches typical for a machine from the 70's. Overall, it looks like this machine sat unused in a private collection most of its life and didn't get beat up being in a bar or arcade.
I've run out of spare time to tackle the clean-up. Fully working, this model typically sells for about $750, so if you're interested in doing a little tinkering, you can have it for a fantastic discount. You should be familiar with basic electronics and/or willing to read up. There's plenty of information about these machines on the internet.
You *will need* a pickup truck or SUV and a helper to transport it. You're welcome to take off the legs and back box, but you'll need at least two people.
