That’s awesome. I recently picked up a project Central Park. It’s going to be my first ground up restoration. I just got a new coin door and pinball pimp stencils in yesterday. Fingers crossed everything goes well.

I found one of those monkeys (no batteries in it and no visible corrosion) in the original box in the back of my parents' basement. Put new batteries in it but it didn't work. I see numerous ones for sale online...with almost all of the ads noting they are non-working.

Thanks. I’m sure I will be asking you some questions. I’m in pretty good shape right now mechanically. There wasn’t much wrong with it. It’s more cosmetics. The Playfield and backglass are nice. However the cabinet needs a full repaint. Someone had started removing paint to repaint it and did an awful job. The coin door is being swapped out because I have one in nice shape, new backdoor because it was missing, new legs, playfield plastics and rubber are being replaced as well but nothing terrible. The hard part is disassembling for paint.

That pinny looks very, very lonely!

Does Charley clap his cymbals every time you get a Special? I hope so!

If you are able to pull that off I will buy one from you. I like the idea of him going off every 100 points along with the game.

Oh, ok. Looked like your one and only pin. "Subway" is worthy company for it. I've always liked to pair up "Subway" and "Hurdy Gurdy". Two super great backglass animation wedgeheads of the same era. Classic stuff.

"Subway" is special to me as well. It started my brother and me on our pinball collecting journey. He bought one from a local arcade back in 1977. He still owns it. We've been through hundreds of games since that very first one.

Maybe the pics don't show it...but you both may be missing a couple flipper rubbers. ??

I can't find ring charts, but my understanding was that 2" round flippers used a double ring. Going back to find info on this showed conflicting info. I thought flyers showed double rings, and that ring charts showed double. There are past discussions of this on Pinside if you search it out. I've always used doubles as that's what dirtflipper told me Something about where the rubber doesn't hit the ball center unless it's doubled.
Carry on....Nice games!

love that game a true classic

Absolutely! Double the rubbers on any rounded top 2" flipper. It's because of the long ago change from a 1 1/8" ball, to a 1 1/16th" ball. The flipper didn't change, so this is a factory recommended remedy. It was fixed when the flat top flipper was introduced.

Always wondered why most 2in flippers back in the day had two sets of rings,
I always prefer to make the top flipper ring be a red ring for a cooler look.
