Believe it or not, that's mostly drywall dust with some chunks of spackel for good measure. Maybe it was in a warehouse at some point, but most likely a barn. With how swelled up the trim is on there, I'm thinking it was a barn. Lots of rust on this guy, but I'll get it cleaned up.

The playfield is actually in pretty decent shape, and only needs some minor touch ups and clear coating. The cabinet needs the back replaced and the trim on the head needs replacement as well.

The cabinet looks alright from 15 feet, but as soon as you get close you see someone tried their hand at touch ups.

This will make a good story someday about how I bought a $200 machine from an Elvis impersonator. I love working on old pins, so this will probably get me 2 months of working in my garage tinkering, and I'm really looking forward to it.
