Every game in my collection is a keeper. Pins that will never leave are my 1978 - 81 SS Bally era collection (Six Million Dollar Man, Bobby Orr Power Play, Harlem Globetrotters, Rolling Stones & Eight Ball Deluxe. Took me over 8 years of extensive searching to acquire these great titles along with their respective NOS replacement playfields and backglasses. Nostalgia hits home here, as these are the games I first played. Money does not play a role in reviving these games to their former glory. My preference is to take a game that requires renovation over a restoration. Enjoy the pics.

More eye candy. The only pins I have purchased which did not require restoration are the Monopoly and TSPP. The Bally collection staged in the dining area will be moved to an adjoining room except for the Diner pin. The goal is to recreate a 50’s era kitchen and dining area complete with bowling lane countertops. The only item left to acquire is a Seeburg M100W jukebox. The joy is in the search.

That is money well spent. Breathtaking to see my favorite era Bally’s in a showroom condition. Well done!

Can you upload or provide a link to this eye catching Evel Knieval pin restoration in gameplay action?

Love the signature EBD on the backside. First time I have seen this; great artistic flare. Beautiful restoration!!!
