Growing up My dad had a Travel Time in our basement (which unfortunately got destroyed, but thats another story). It's what I learned to play (and love) pinball on. It's a lot of fun, and a fast game for the time. I certainly think it would be a fun project if I ever came across one....

Yep it is! Duty now, spuds

My wife got me this for Xmas. It’s.... Rough. She was so proud she found me something. I love deeply she indulged my request for a project pin and surprised me with this for Christmas, but the termites scare the crap out of me. The back box is cork it’s so shot. I immediately shrinkwrapped it and bug bombed it several times. Bug bombed my garage as well. Haven’t even popped the coin door yet so haven’t got a great look at it yet to see what’s recoverable here. Probably going to Termedor it as well just to be sure. I’d burn it, other than now shes done this, I’m going to have to make a working Playboy now (somehow) but I think the first thing I’m going to need to do is find a donor cabinet. She picked it up with a friend and checked that it powered on, so guessing boards are good. It’s not hacked up at least from what I can tell.

Thank god most of this stuff is available repo... I’m going to need it. If anyone has a suitable donor cabinet, let me know!

Thanks for the heads up! I wrapped it in shrink wrap, and have sprayed in termador foaming spray. The body may be recoverable, though i'm not terribly comfortable still with the notion of having something ex-termites. Regardless, the head is borked. I have a while before i get to really restoring this - I need to get my game room up first - but if i don't find a donor before I get to it I may try to use the cabinet at least.

No doubt! She is super duper special, especially since this is busy season for her at work, AND she co-opted some of her co-workers to help her get it!
