I just joined the club yesterday! I have fond memories of playing Roadshow at a diner near me back in the early 2000s, but I never anticipated owning one. However, a friend reached out to me this week to tell me her husband had a pinball machine cluttering his garage and he wanted to get rid of it. It was filthy and had stopped working. Apparently it started life at a biker bar, then wound up in a warehouse where it languished for at least a decade. Her husband's father bought the warehouse and gave him the machine. He played it until it died, then eventually decided to unload it. He had nothing in it and just wanted it gone; I hesitate to say what I paid for it, but suffice it to say I got a hell of a deal. It's going to take a lot of manhours to get it working again, but it's cleaning up very nice so far, as you can see in these early before and after pics. I'm sure I'll be hitting up this thread for advice.5FE05413-D518-4BCA-937C-FE255E2D09BA (resized).jpeg5FE05413-D518-4BCA-937C-FE255E2D09BA (resized).jpeg5FE05413-D518-4BCA-937C-FE255E2D09BA (resized).jpeg5FE05413-D518-4BCA-937C-FE255E2D09BA (resized).jpeg

This thing is cleaning up nicely! I'm waiting on a new battery holder from Marco (the batteries had corroded horribly, but thankfully they were on a stand-off board). However, I tried starting a game tonight, and to my amazement, it actually sort of works! The shooter lane kickout and Bob's Bunker kickout aren't 100% and I'm sure there's a bunch of other stuff I'll find, but this may not be as rough of a job as I initially thought.

Quoted from Jmckune:

OCD kicked in, your pop bumper caps are in the wrong position, they all need to move 1 spot clockwise. They match up with the skirt colors. I thought mine was gonna be bad to get going. Worst part is getting to Ted because every ramp has to come off to do it easily.

Good eye, thanks!
