Spare solenoids for 20 Fords' from 1965 to 1983 (or so)

Going all out, there O-din? Bigger home for more pins?

Yaa and the neighbors would complain when you try to water the lawn (Ehm) from that balcony.

Only 750 made, can not be many left. Unique cabinet and legs. Has a Secret Special when both Players Match. The ad states, it needs work. There are 4 Pinsiders with this game listed in their collections, and one is the GTA.

Is that plunger housing made from pot metal? If it is. you might want to try that metal epoxy stuff JB Weld.

Flying High, this is a work in progress. Although I have had this game for more than a year, just have not spent a lot of time on it. Currently it is stuck in re-set. Every coil is/was stuck with a combo of grease, oil, and graphite. Bought a replacement backglass, it looks great! A long weekend is approaching, so I will be working on it again.

The lock down bar has been lightly sanded, stained, and cleared. The rails, legs, and back box trim will be done eventually.

1953 Gottlieb Flying High. Photographed 2 of the leg adjusters that are on my pin. Can they be identified? The one on the left has a patent number which is unreadable, only can read "Patent ____ _5999". The one on the right has no script.

Thinking, that the one on the left is from some kind of furniture, or a hardware store replacement.

Here is another 1953 Flying High question.

The 2 upper Blue and White Passive Bumpers, do they use a different bulb? The 47's are to tall. Is it possible that the white body has shrunk/melted, as it appears these 2 bulbs stay on all the time.

Thanks Dan, that solved the problem.

Yes, a ramp and a single flipper, can't wait to see it in action.

Can you identify this Coin Door? Here is a hint, Pinside does not have it as a listed game.

It was in the Flying High parts game I bought.

Yes, that is the answer. It has a 1930's style figure 8 playfield. Can't be that many left. 1 Pinsider had or has 1.

Metal covers also covered over the cigarette burns, and prevented burns. Saving the costs of sanding out burns and re finishing the wood rails.
AlexF is correct as the metal rails also up date the game a bit, to extend the pins service life. Also as Stoomer states adds armour to the game.

Added to prevent someone from drilling into the game, to block access to the playfield roll overs. They painted the home made guards, and did quite creatively.

Here is a hole worked into my Flying High. A wire could be pushed through to trip a 'Points' switch on the playfield.

When I bought the game, it had custom made metal blades/liners on the inside. Made out of galvanized metal. LOL not a HUO pin LOL.

You could buy new ones, which will require new levelers, and the anti split post and screw parts from PBR. For a game that needs as little as possible spent on it you could get the new anti split posts parts (a minimum requirement). Then glue and clamp the old legs, making sure to get the glue well into the gaps in the splits. Remove the levers, soak them in a rust remover. After the glue dries either sand the legs back to the wood and refinish them. Or sand them very lightly and just clear coat them.

The goal is to make the game safe, so it will not fall over if it is moved, or pushed against.

Using the wrong coil is not recommended, you should replace it with the same coil. The Piccadilly schematic may have the coil numbers written on it. Since older games could have the wrappers burnt off.

That is indeed a really nice playfield, and the lockdown bar and rails do not to worn or burnt.

The backglass animation for the pop and dead bumpers is something most people miss.

On the playfield there are many ways to win a Replay. High Scores. Points Setting. Hitting all 7 pop bumpers in a row lights the Special., Landing Four balls in a row in the Trap holes.

To add to your comment. The connection is live. If the door gets opened and falls out, if the connector separates, a person might instinctually grab the connectors and accidently touch the connectors, and get zapped.

Got this game yesterday. It is challenging to play. Have to get use to 4 flippers and the lower reversed set up.

There are more photos on the, "Show Us Your EM Pinball Machines", Topic.

That back board lighting is different, and interesting.

Looking really nice.

Here is another observation. The underside of the lock down bars in question have overspray of red or green, or were the painted at one time and have the paint removed? On my Globe Trotter the bar has red paint on the underside, it doesn't fit quite right. But it does function. There is no red on the cabinet, only orange, blues, and white.

The Flying High, I have just has a clear finish on the underside. The odd observation is what manufacture painted their cabinets with the lock down on the game.

I can post a photo tomorrow afternoon, if you can wait.

My Globe Trotter has silver coloured components. Is it possible that your game has had the metal parts phosphate coated? Is there evidence of the steppers being removed and taken apart? Your Knocker has been treated the same way as the steppers, and the top plate of the motor.

Your last sentence could be wrong. Would the Ball Release stay locked on, until the game is re-set?

Oh my! Are those high scores carved/written into the coin door? Those look like hard scores to beat. Has game has seen plenty of play?
