Picked this up from a coworker for not much money for a friend of mine down the road. Coworker's wife wanted it gone and hadn't been turned on years. A little bit (actually a lot) of elbow grease...plus I'll have to fix some electrical issues - and maybe we'll have a new Pinside member...

Not making any money for elbow-grease, just reimbursement for the pin + parts.

It's relaxing helping to bring these back to life and a little bit shinier, regardless of the labor I have in it. Not trying to make it perfect, just a heck of a lot better for a 'players' machine for his family's enjoyment.

A couple of before and after pics, but just cleaned, no wax.

Besides my normal arsenal of cleaning gadgets, I finally swung by Harbor Freight and got an ultrasonic cleaner. Boy, that thing works wonders on posts.

Anyone have any rollovers they want to sell? They seem to a little hard to find.

Picked this guy up a little while back so figured I would post some pics.
Long story a short a really good customer of mine found out that I collected pins and gave it to me.
...Anyhow, pretty bitchin for free. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

A local Cl seller had one for sell at a decent price. But someone beat me to it. Maybe someday...

Cave Creek: Went there on a recent trip to AZ/Maricopa. Beautiful area.

Good choice. We have one and it hasn't grown old a year later and can be brutal at times. Bought a colorDMD, seriously really makes a diff. How is the topper lit up?

Quoted from KSUWildcatFan:
Yeah, definitely a good laugh out of that. But I was nice and tried to be helpful, not figuring it would amount to anything for me personally, and then I got my chance.
As suspected, the batteries were SUPER old and a giant mess. A quick scraping (this won't be my permanent solution, it was just to quickly test) got it to boot and actually hold settings.

Looks like the battery acid was confined to the holder?

Quoted from Buckaroo:
Picked a cool title today. A Bally Black Rose. The game came with a little dust on the head but who cleans the top of the head anyway? No legs so a couple of milk crates will work just fine. No playfield glass to get in your way if you ever need to get a stuck ball out. Yep the playfield has a little more dust, maybe the glass is a good idea? Add that to the shopping list. Heck a little wax and this baby will shine right up. As far as mods i think the only one is the three different flippers. The game will play better with this mod. The display did light up when plugged in and went into factory reset mode. Should be just a fuse. Oh well, when will I learn.

The red color on the cabinet sides looks good! Doesn't look faded. I bet it will clean up nicely with a lot of elbow grease (and Novus 1)...

Newest addition! 15 years for uploading photo sideways! [quoted image]

Great choice!

Hook up an external sub to JD - sounds amazing. Really becomes a different pin w/an external sub. Lot's of bass hiding in the sound track that goes unnoticed w/o a sub.

Quoted from Whysnow:
Technically it was dropped off for me...
Excited for this one and the price was spot on.
Always said the pro is the better bang for the buck, but now that premiums go for less than a loaded pro I had no choice but to surprise my brother with this.
Gotta buy the nieces love some how while it is Covid and can’t see her
[quoted image]

After 7 months of owning a TWD Pro, this pin always kicks my butt - but I always come back for more. Congrats on the purchase.

Quoted from Whysnow:
Yeah I love the Pro. Play the ones we have on route all the time.
premium prices have dropped off enough that it was a no brainer to grab this one. 4500 w colorDMD was a very fair price. Now I can compare side by side to see which I will like best

WOW, 4.5K w/ColorDMD...seriously good price. LCD or LED (not that it makes much diff)?

Apologies for the slight thread derail.

Quoted from EJS:
Here’s a before (at sellers) and after (my garage). It works. It needs bulbs but you can start and finish a game. Typical barn find. Surrounded by animal poo fortunately none on or in game....nor occupied for that matter. [quoted image][quoted image]

It's interesting hearing the back story on barn finds sometimes. How did you find it? CL, FB? Friend of a friend?

Quoted from Mopar:
Wow, and that bed covering just clings?

Quoted from ToucanF16:
It clings to painted surfaces. Make sure truck is clean. The wrap is ~30” wide. Put on in overlapping rows starting at back of truck. The web site has good video instructions. I drove 400+ miles at 70-75 mph (some in pouring rain) and it stayed on just fine

That covering really caught my eye too.

Congrats. Any Xenon...is better than no Xenon.

It was 20 miles to get to the 30 miles to go point.

Foam tubes under the pin - interesting idea. How well do the foamies work under the pin to roll it in?

I use fresh tennis balls, I buy them from the dollar store. They come in sets of three balls for a buck.

Considering I can get both at the dollar store, I just might splurge and go on a $5 spending spree!

Scored a 90's Jurassic Park pin today. Probably not what you were thinking, but the price was right...$5...and the kids like it. It will go well with my Jurassic Park Pro. [quoted image][quoted image]

PF OK? Any clearcoat pooling/chipping?

Looks like it's in good shape, any plans to send it to HEP for a restoration?
