Bill Paxton. Was in storage. First time I was closed for covid and didn't know if I'd reopen or when. No sense paying to store it.

Hardest to sell - Eight Ball Deluxe LE

Back when Williams closed and Stern wasn't on a roll yet. I came up with a plan to restore some of the classics and put them in the line up. To hold me over until something better came along.

This was before all the repro parts we have today. I was picking up NOS items to do this, mostly off of Ebay. EBD LE was the first I restored. New NOS playfield and had it clear coated, NOS plastics and clear ones, NOS pop bumper caps. Brought the electronics up to speed. Repainted the cabinet. Looked like new.

And was doing a buck or two a week. Heartbreaking. I had over $5K into that project. Which brought doing others to a stand still.

I sold the parts I'd been accumulating and tried selling the EBD LE. Finally got $900 ( or $950 ) for it. What a blood bath. I was glad to see it gone.

Of course after the fact a lot of people were "I'd have bought it if I'd known you were going to sell it". They must have missed the for sale sign on it for 6 months.
