Fully agree with MrArt2U:

- Go through every switch first.
- Clean the motor
- Get it running
- Enjoy the vintage look.
- Replace old bulbs with fresh #47.
- Keep your LED money for another machine.

Rolf,

You should consider writing a book about your knowledge of Mechanical Pinballs. In my area, (more than a million people living) there is only ONE person who is capable and willing to fix mechanical pinballs. There are a few collectors, but they will not provide help or advice. That person is the only one that I know who will come to your place and work on your machine. His prices are high, but when you have no choice....

A book or an online publication would be terrific as this skill will completely disappear in a few years.

Ouch..... that must have been terrible. Did the playfield fall on your head, too ?
