Quoted from pinostalgia:colson,what did you use to clean the cabinet?it looks good.
Flitz and a microfiber cloth...and carefully to not remove paint. Then wiped down with Novus 1 and waxed after.
Brought this oddball back home. Thanks to gdonovan for the repairs and getting the game up and running. Glad to be flipping it. Quirky-ass sounds on this one.
And snagged a new repro Gorgar glass.

Quoted from cmack750:Picked up this morning. Not a pin, but all part of my master plan....my girlfriend gravitates to classic arcades and I gotta have some way to drag her into the game room.[quoted image]
Ah, there be method to his madness...
Quoted from guard:Nice minty Spirit of 76.....home use since 1990, guy bought it from a Towers store that closed in that year. (The inserts are in there...came out bringing it up the stairs.)
Nice Score! I just repaired one of these last week.
Quoted from Nihonmasa:Finally scored one!
The Giger museum is less than 10 miles away, that'll be an awesome addition to the club line up!
The guy had 2, and both backglasses are different.
Any idea as to why?
(Ya, real bearn find!)

My guess is sun exposure turned to lower one yellow
Quoted from edward472:My guess is sun exposure turned to lower one yellow
Nope, the colours are really different. That's something else.
The eyes had some more white reflects as well on te one on the right

This is a four-color process glass. There has been a lot of discussion about color changes in Bally backglasses. These are incredibly small dots of color put together to create a hue. If the glass or screen are misaligned even by thousands of an inch, color variations will occur. This is due to the colors overlapping behind the 1st screen, 2nd screen, and 3rd screen. Bally was able to make these type of backglasses in CMYK, or four passes. Other discreet color backglasses sometimes have 6 or 8 different colors. This saved Bally money, and also increased the contrast of the images they could produce. Win Win at the time.
Quoted from RonSS:Are you almost out of room?
Why you ask, something for sale?
Has been a flood of riches the last month, need to stop looking.
Picked up a Doctor Who yesterday. Faded but it came with a full set of decals. I'll play it for a few months and then I'll tackle the cab restoration. Have a Pinsound, shaker, ColorDMD, and LED OCD to install in it this weekend. Previous owner LED'd it but there's boat loads of strobing and ghosting going on. Pretty distracting. Glad I had ordered a few sets of the OCD boards in advance.
Unloaded and carried in the house by myself. I love my Escalera stair climber with forklift attachment!!! I use the forklift to lift the pinball to put on the rear legs too. My back is destroyed so this thing is a life saver. Here's me unloading the machine from the truck:

Excellent game! It's one of 3 pins I have an unhealthy addiction to and have to play regardless of it working fully or not.

Future Spa was a game I wasnt planning on being so impressed with. I bought it with a Paragon and was immediately drawn to Future Spa. Gorgeous machine, much faster than I was lead to believe as well. I'll post pics of the Paragon once we get it up and running.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Man that is the nicest Mr. & Mrs. Pac i've seen. Most of the time they are destroyed and barely working.

It is minty! Not a scratch or fade on the cabinet or anywhere I can see.
Quoted from sulli10:Brought home a companion for Star Wars. Thanks to my Delaware buddy .
I really like the red trim on the VE. Actually like it better then the blue on the LE[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from yzfguy:Aaaaand colordmds will spread like a virus now
LOL,
You predicted it! Now only one of my games has not caught that "virus". I will have to quarantine it I guess .

Looking at your posted photo. I would be paranoid regarding that door hitting the new game.

I picked up this Bally Magic Circle today. Only 580 made. Legs and coin door are rusty, but the playfield is almost perfect, backglass is perfect and I see very little rust inside the game. This pin will probably be available for trade/sale at Pinfest in June.

A nice Bally from the 60s not to mention a Magic Circle. Good Deal!
Today I traded the 79 Star Trek I got last week, for this Bride of Pinbot which is in bad need of repair and refurb.
Now, do I put the BoP 2.0 kit on this and eventually do a full restore, or just fix it and flip it.

Last night I made it official, it was not going to leave anytime soon. Nothing screams HUO like a tilt bob still sealed in a bag and what look like original rubbers.
I guess I finally broke down and bought another modern Stern.
