Traded a local pin collector my Cleopatra for this Totem. Mainly for game play, Totem's game play, in my opinionis set up better. Here are some before shots. Very dirty but complete. I found a friend! A very crispy bumble bee!

Nice! I love my Totem. Like most, if not all, of the System 1 games, it's quirky but fun to play. Good luck getting her cleaned up. Check to see if the ground mods have been done.
This was the most water damaged pin I have dealt with. Surprisingly it fired right up after ditching all the original boards.
Nice! I'm doing the same thing with a Joker Poker.
Still have the original boards, but did all the Sys1 improvements, connectors, grounding, freeplay, slam tilt disable etc.
Just rebuilt the chimes and knocker as they were not working.
I have new rubbers, plastics and drop targets and will be tearing down the pf to clean and install. Will decide later if I want to invest in a new pf, as this is worn badly around the pops.
I like these System 1s. Easy to work on and like you said quirky and fun to play.
Do you like the new rules on the Pascal? I've heard mixed reviews on the game play.
Quoted from blazerchad:Surprisingly it fired right up after ditching all the original boards.
I feel like the one thing Gottlieb always did really well was it's build quality, mechanically, of course.
I've got my Buck Rogers set up with an early revision of the Pascal PI-1x4 board, and it has been rock solid reliable. The added features are great.
