I see you guys posting about wasting money on new balls in your shop jobs. Those things are a rip off at $2 a piece! Anyone replacing them is an absolute fool!
Looks at this ball! 45 years of use and still going strong!!

Is $6-30 per game really that big of a deal?

It’s right next to the Lollipop bridge, just off the Hershey Highway.

Hey Choppers!
Quoted from Fishman54:And look at the playfield scratched and destroyed from the rust.

Probably once a year, or when they look trashed. Most games don’t get enough heavy play to justify it sooner. Do a light shop every 6 months and a deep cleaning every 2 years.
Quoted from Gryszzz:Law I can't make MGC now so setting my sights on PATZ. You be there?
Sadly I don't think I can, got a new (almost) 3 monther at home.
I'LL Be at VFW of course...which ibwould encourage people to go to this one more than usual

There's always am Indy crew at VFW so I'll try to hit that one then. In May?
Quoted from John_C:I seem to remember reading here somewhere a while back about someone who had a small tumbler or polisher and he would just rejuvenate his balls after so many plays.
Yeah you can make a little hallowed out piece of wood to hold the ball and put them on a buffing wheel.
