not the newest stern, really old school. been a collector here in austraia since 1977 when I was just a teen. so today picked up my first game in 12 months.
drove off this morning, queensryche pumping. over 2 and a half hour traffic getting through sydney.
anyways home amoungst 1947 to 1978
being a pure e.m. collector had the chance to buy this flash.
the game was sold as non working but i'm almost certain the guy didn't know how to add credits.
needs a bit of a tidy, a better backglass and a few tweaks.
brings back so many memories and want more SS pins now.
20200426_191834 (resized).jpgQuoted from JethroP:Congrats on finding a SURFSIDE...great game! Picked one up myself a few years ago and did a restore. Had to repaint my cabinet also as it had been painted all black! Restored pic attached. Get yours all working and tuned up; it's one of the best in my opinion![quoted image]
totally agree, i searched about 30 years for one down here in australia.
did a ground up restoration (mine was also painted all black).
hoping backglass resto makes a repro bglass availbale.
really great game.
long neglected gottlieb sea belles from 1956.
large project, bglass resto glass will be ordered, have repro plastics.
wish me luck
pinball rescue plastics, wow. wouldn't of taken on this project if lee hadn't done these.

[quoted image][quoted image]
that game is very rare, ipdb states they only made a very few and looking for more pix. great score.
there was one that appeared here in australia last year, sadly it was hammered.
also if you get stuck again, those locks on the back door are easily opened with a screwdriver, just pop the lock.
Quoted from poppapin:I see a Sky Jump stashed in there!!
...even better a gottlieb surf side, my all time fave multi player
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
20200801_172905 (resized).jpg20200801_172916 (resized).jpg
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.

not one of the top notch classic sterns but this one is for me.
played this very game to death back when it was on location. was collecting pinball back in 1978.
the game had the operators number on it, so i called it as one of my friends was looking to buy his first pin. this was 1983.
so my friend bought the nugent we played all the time, we grew apart but reconnected a few years ago. so a few weeks ago he contacts me and asked if I was interested in buying the game.
hell yes! so even though I'm a pure em pinball guy feel this one belongs here now.
also a small note, it is an aussie built nugent.
know its not up there with the high end classic sterns but a not often seen cosmic princess from 1979.
has been sitting for 20+ years and by luck tried an old for sale ad that was 5 years old..and was still there.
this game was built here in australia.
usually the backglasses are very flakey but after taking it off the game could see why.
game play is similar to trident.
anyways in the resto queue she goes.

But couldn’t resist one more classic. I’ll find a spot for it somewhere. Any guesses?

williams apollo
picked up a working gottlieb drop a card. backglass is near mint, playfield is dirty with one broken plastic.
has one of the old local operators sticker on it from the 1970s. so would of been a good chance playing this actual game back in the day.
20220716_124058 (resized).jpg20220716_124111 (resized).jpgQuoted from Isochronic_Frost:These have always interested me.
What parts to Hankin’s use? Are they any good?
everything was made here, so the circuit boards, coils, backglasses, playfields etc.
this particular game is average at best to play.
Quoted from EJS:Are you going to do a restoration thread for this?
I have an unshopped Baseball too and could use some motivation
yes ground up - have the cabinet stripped, all the paint off, playfield out and have started to rebuild
did an 11 hour road trip for this (and hooked up with some awesome friends in the next state.
made for italy only gottlieb grande domino.
starting another ground up resto.
have repro plastics and having a new backglass made.
love these different gottlieb variants.
notice the last photo. it has a ball diverter that shoots the ball back up the playfield after and extra ball is won.

picked up a gottlieb Mibs from 1969
the last 5 ems i have picked up 4 have had painted cabinets. all have been 2" flipper games.
..and 2 of them have been "converted' from 2" to 3" flippers to modernise them.
so many great memories playing this game growing up.
20221111_193050 (resized).jpgQuoted from chalkup8:Animated backglass ?
yes, everytime you rollover one of the lanes a ball pops up in the backglass. usually there are 3 amounts of balls that award a replay (eg one replay at 8, 10 and 12)
getting all 12 is quite the challenge.
another project. williams Spot Pool from 1959
woodrails very rarely turn up in australia. this one has also been sitting for about 40 years so will need a full rebuild.
has a hand painted backglass so will need a new one from backglass resto.
20221115_180135 (resized).jpgQuoted from bluespin:Shay Arcade Group stocks this repro glass and they use the same silk screen techniques and ink the original manufacturers used.
http://shayarcadegroup.com/backglasses/
yep, that's the one i will end up getting - just the aus$ vs us$ at the moment is a killer
Quoted from aaron6920:With that conversion rate you should buy a pin and take it back with you! lol
pinball machines are way more expensive in australia - you guys in the usa/canada have no idea how lucky you are!
