Started this in restoration forum, but maybe should have stared in EM hangout, so starting again. At that time asked about stripping varnish from play field among other things. Well, decided to tackle field and with lots of patience and alcohol got all the old varnish off. Then tackled cabinet and legs, and was able to strip all the blue latex. Also have polished all metal, replaced leg bolts and plates in cabinet, all rubber, flippers, ball shooter cover, and field lamps with LED. Playfield and cabinet are in fair to rough condition, and haven't tackled electrical problems yet. Any advice on what to do re trying to restore play field and cabinet paint or leave as is would be appreciated. Have waxed field with two coats after stripping varnish. In addition, not sure what to do about the few minor back glass issues. Then will be tackling electrical problems.

Tough to find this one in any condition. Odd duck; no pop bumpers, no plastic lightshields. Never have played one. Would love to find one though as it's bowling themed (which I like), and it's one of the very first pins with the "modern" flipper arrangement.

Jr, I haven't played it yet cause haven't tackled electrical problems. But did roll a few balls around the field after replacing rubber, and liked the ball action so far. Can't wait to get it working.
