Which EM has a Corvette on the back glass?
A friend just called me telling me he found an old pinball machine made by Bally with a Corvette on the backglass, but he doesn't know which one it is. He's going to send me pictures....

He went back and had a better look. It's a 1963 Bally Cross Country. I guess the Corvette is on the playfield not the bg.
Is it a good machine? It looks like it's been repainted, he says it doesn't work. The asking price is $500.

Funny. Thanks for the quick replies, I'm going to try to pick it up. I've been wanting a short flipper EM!

We made a deal and I'm headed to pick it up right now! He said it has worked for years and only stopped working after they moved it the last time. Hopefully it's an easy fix.

Lol, no kidding! Yeah, she looks kinda rough... Hopefully it's not even rougher in person.

She's in the back of the truck on its way home!

Thanks guys!! I'm excited and can't wait to get it playing!

Here are some pics. If you EM guys notice anything please let me know, I'm new to the EM world and have much to learn.

After unloading it I put a new end on the power cord, then I didn't even know how to turn it on I then remembered that the guy said he had to trigger a switch inside the coin door to turn it on (it's missing both coin mech's).

So I did that and she came to life both flippers functioned when I tried them, I thought I was in business until I closer the coin door and it shut off.

Now when I turn it on the score motor? It's in the 2nd last pic won't stop turning and the flippers don't work

I'm going to read up and see what I can figure out. In the meantime if anyone see's anything in the pics or figures they can point me in the right direction that would be awesome!

Awesome, thank you!

It was the slam tilt in the coin door, it was set way too sensitive. If I closed it very gently it stayed on, but I just adjusted it so it is no longer an issue.

Perfect, thanks for the idea's. I'll see what I can find tonight.

It turned out to be a pop bumper relay/switch, it was stuck and as soon as I moved it manually the score motor stopped and the pop bumper fired.
All of a sudden I was playing pinball
There are a few things I noticed that I will need to sort out....
-There's a loud hum/vibration coming from the score reels that seems to stops once in a while. And something in the backbox is making awful noises when switches are hit.
-The bell does not ring much at all on scoring, only occasionally.
-Flippers are weak.
-All playfield switches seem to work except one, the switch seems to function fine but doesn't register points.

I'm sure I'll find more as I go, but this is a start!
