This was a special find. Turns out it was in the hands of an old acquaintance, a long time pinball hobbyist from whom I bought my Sea Shore twenty years ago this month. It’s in great shape and works but I want to clean it up before it submerges and goes into action.

Quoted from Silverstreak02:I decided I won’t take on anymore projects. I’ve done four restorations and am burnt out. For this game I would make an exception.
I'm actually deep into restoring a Three Deuces and wasn't really thinking about another project but couldn't pass on a wishlist game. But then I'm done and will do what I enjoy the most - playing these games. (so he said until another wishlist pin comes along)
Started the restoration on the Williams Rocket recently acquired by cleaning the bottom board. The seller has been playing it for the last few years and I did not have to adjust any switches on the motor or relays but still needed a good cleaning as pictures show.

Yes, they're in bad shape or missing.

Quoted from SilverLiningMan:Apparently this particular game was being played in the background of one of the scenes of The Theory of Everything, the movie about Stephen Hawking…gotta check that out. (Has anyone who’s watched the movie noticed that? Appropriate title for sure!)[quoted image]

Quoted from tfduda:Posted videos of gameplay of a few more Williams machines: Nifty (1950) and 8 Ball (1952).
Thanks for showing gameplay for these two. Very neat.

BG and Pf look very nice. I just restored one top to bottom and inside and out. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Ha was just playing my 3 Deuces and saw your post. Very nice. Looks great. I have a pdf of an apron card that you can print at Staples and mount to a thicker card stock.
