Just picked up a very dirty Dealer's Choice. $180 It has issues, won't start a game, and the control motor keeps spinning. Something is not clearing, but its not the score reels. I'll figure it out as a clean it. Nice backglass.

Always wanted one - I'm pumped. Altek, Rottendog, overlay. Cabinet is worn, anybody have decals?

I'm amazed at the connection on the fire protection system! WTF?!? Nice Funhouse!

New project machine. Intermittent boot, original battery, no corrosion.

Finally got it home, needs a good cleaning, but works great.

All displays work - they just were not on when I snapped the picture. Displays are not burned, either. I was really tickled that it still had the helmut, and its in great shape - no cracks!

Did somebody do that on purpose on the Nugent backglass? Pretty selective peeling if not. Congrats on the games.

Which one is the pretty one?

I like my Team One AAB - especially when on three ball games - make getting the top four a bit more difficult.

Wheels on the legs? That might prove interesting when nudging!

Hah. I couldn’t sell my MC a few years ago. A flipper bought it for $100, then tried to flip it for $500. I don’t know if he ever sold it.

i had four cocktail pins, three of them working. I hated working on them - you had to stand on your head while troubleshooting the boards, and afterward I had a headache for hours. Basically gave them away at $100 each about ten years ago. I guess hindsight is 20/20.

Was that the one on Fisher on Facebook? I thought about it, but distance was a bit far. Congrats on a nice machine.

Why does Gorgar have a "Censored" sticker over his chest?

Clogged- I recommend using thick gloves, put the pieces into a large cardboard box. After that, vacuum the entire playfield, empty contents into a bag and put into the box.

Next, wad up slices of bread and dab - do not drag, onto the playfield to pick up any tiny pieces of glass shards the vacuum did not get.

If possible, remove the playfield, turn it upside down, and let gravity do its thing.

Don’t forget to remove the apron.

Good luck. At least nobody has been hurt (hopefully).

Who knew bread had so many uses!

I can’t take credit for the idea - I learned of it on Rec.games.pinball back in the day.

Picked up, cleaned steppers to get it working. Definitely a player’s machine, but lots of fun with twenty drop targets.

She has about 157,000 plays.

Team One is a fun game. If you want a real challenge, keep it on three ball to start. There’s four lanes on top, so you need to get it back up there one way or another.

Heard some noises in the basement last night- came down this morning and found this. It appears Star Wars gave birth to Star Explorer. Heck, I didn’t even know it was pregnant! Father was likely the Baron.

It was actually destined for a dumpster. I fixed the power supply, waxed it, new rings and ball, and it plays like it should. Grandkids think it’s cute.

For some reason the grandkids like playing it just as much as the real machines. I’ve played it just enough to know that it’s working properly.

Maybe I’ll sell it and base it on banning prices. 10K by Christmas

I’m trying to minimize, but this came up really cheap and within two hours.

Now that I’ve got it home, I may end up parting it out. Typical swelling of the particleboard cabinet, plus the cabinet was painted white. I have not tried to remove the new paint. No back cover for the head. Crazing backglass.

It was a basement find, no mice (pleasant surprise), playfield not bad. If I can get it going easy, I may end up selling it. All options are on the table right now.

I always liked the passenger falling out of the plane on Bon Voyage.

New to the stable. So far, it’s kicking my butt.

Bluespin - if those drops are original, see if you can reuse them. New targets don't drop correctly and are very frustrating. You hoit them dead on, and they won't fall. You need to hit them with a glancing blow.

Your playfield glass on the Team One looks pretty good, at least the corner I see. Let me know if you’re willing to sell it, I may be interested. No promises.

PlanetExpress - 2001! A fun game, a target lover's machine..

Need to post the operator decal in the thread “Post old operator decals, etc”

Pyromedic - Plus the obligatory stop at a Buckee's! She probably will like the snow and horses and Buckee's better than the machine. Congrats on the pickup.

Price was really right. Nice pickup

MH playfield looks pretty good - not blown out on the sword like a lot of them.
