I found a WCS and NGG at Husky's at the corner of West and Telge in NW Houston - I've been there dozens of times with the family and don't ever recall pinball machines, but there was a very rundown WCS and a NGG which was one of the worst "in the wild" machines I have ever seen - the NGG was in such horrible shape you couldn't see the back 1/3 of the playfield - it was incredible.

I grabbed a couple of pictures of the NGG to show my guy BTW75 since he was talking about an IJ4 in Austin that was pretty beat up.

Here are the two pictures I sent him.

Not sure my point in posting this - I don't post a whole lot, just wanted to share what I found tonight I guess. I probably ran $4 thru the machines combined - at 50c per play - the WCS was really weak, flippers were all out of alignment and the plunger barely worked. It was about a 3/10 overall - the NGG was a 1 or 2/10 at best. Sad to see two pretty fun games in such horrible shape.

...as you were.

Like lost puppies at the pound. You just want to rescue them and take them home. Clean them up and give them a good home.

I bet all that crud is doing a great job of protecting the playfield...would probably look spectacular when cleaned...a little tlc and some new coil sleeves and they would probably be nice
