Per relays, it needs a spin target. Not sure what that means though. Has to early 60’s because it has pull bar to lift pf.

Why did you let me keep guessing if my first post was correct?
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Yeah its not like the there was an Oscar winning performance in that one or anything......

At least it looks easier to move than a pin.

She's been replaced?
Quoted from cottonm4:All of your relays wiring looks like brand new. Nice and colorful.
That stood out to me as well.
Unfortunately, the cabinet, pf, coin door, coin plate have seen better days. But the inside is clean.
Quoted from RonSS:A Future Spa would have been a more balanced pin for the bedroom I think.
Future Spa is already in the garage (man cave)! I would have put Playboy there but I'm outta room. No more room now in the bedroom. Thinking about the dining room, then the living room, then the kitchen. Guess I'll need to wait for wife to head of town again to expand into the other rooms.
call me crazy. did a 13 hour round trip for this major project.
so much wrong but been chasing a kewpie doll for over 30 years and see this as a challenging project.
woodrails don't show up too often in australia.
will get a ground up restoration over the coming 12 months.
nothingthat can't be saved or restored

Is that an Australian thing to say? Never heard this phrase before and the internet does not have any research results for me. Curious what this means. Context makes it sound like it was a needle in a haystack for you.

I have heard of kewpie dolls out here in New England but it is an old term for sure.

I believe illawarra92 is just referring to the name of the pin, Gottlieb's Kewpie Doll, 1960

Kewpie is a brand of dolls and figurines that were conceived as comic strip characters by cartoonist Rose O'Neill. The illustrated cartoons, appearing as baby cupid characters, began to gain popularity after the publication of O'Neill's comic strips in 1909 (wikipedia). A crap load of these dolls were made in the first half of the 20th Century
yes one of the few grail games left (games title is kewpie doll). as mentioned major project but can see so much potential in this game.
not sure if it's an australian phase, basically I had been looking for this title for over 30 years.
with photos of another woodrail picked up today.

Nothing beats finding a game that has special meaning to you, after a long search. Except maybe finding that game for a great price!

Lol it's too early. I need to finish breakfast! A rare title for sure!
Quoted from illawarra92:with photos of another woodrail picked up today.
Is that the correct apron for Hi-Dives? Caught my eye due to it being clown/circus themed while the pin/PF are diver themed

Wow. 950 produced.
You are now #8.

You wanna go NFC East?
Top the Big Top. Restored it for my daughter years ago. Thanks to beelzeboob for throwing it back my way after his grandkids were done with it.
With some new blemishes and scuffs.

Always enjoy seeing another
Big Game surface. Looks nice.
I wouldn't be against seeing some more pics.
Kewpie Doll looks like a great find. Looking forward to a resto thread on this one. Really like the carnival theme. Cabinet art isn't original?
Quoted from Colsond3:You wanna go NFC East?
All,
Picked up a HUO Austin Powers yesterday at an auction. Drove 6 hours to pick it up, then spent the evening with some friends in Connecticut. Drove the 6 hours back home today, and we played with it for over two hours.
Everything works perfectly.. The playfield needs cleaned, as the black belts have dirtied it. Other than that, everything works and is perfect.
I paid $3,000 for it so I am pretty happy.
I would like to know how to find out how many total games played is, but I don't see that as an option.

Quoted from Colsond3:You wanna go NFC East?
Eagles are by far the best team in that shitty division. Stopped by a yard sale a couple days back and a guy had a bunch of autopened authentic jerseys. Roethelisberger, Lynch, Bo Jackson, Richard Dent, A. Peterson. One was a Reggie White throwback. Would have bought it but dude never washed them. Back was immaculate condition but front looked like he ate chili nachos every week in them.

Those three button games can be a little difficult to navigate through. You should be able to find it under Audits. I used to own one of these. Yours looks fantastic. With no wear around the flipper buttons or start button I would guess it has less than 1000 plays.

Nice AP! It can be very difficult to know exactly how many plays, as the audits can be cleared, such as if the batteries are changed with the game off. You can look for clues, like the shooter lane. Most pins that I’ve bought new started showing shooter lane wear around 200-300 plays. But my WOZ had 800 plays and no shooter lane wear. If yours is showing heavy wear, or wear around the scoop or exit drain hole, it could have more than a few hundred. How do those areas look?
Congrats, $3k sounds like a nice deal.
