    Well I continue to get em's in for service. Some get repaired, & many get junked for parts. Spent 6 hours on this one, & it wasn't looking good. If I can't get them working for $100 - $200, I charge a flat $60 for having a look (usually 1-2 hours). So the owner decided to not to waste any more money ($60), & release the pin for parts salvage. This one had a seized lock bar, even with a hammer & drill for lock it took a lot of effort. This one came from P.E.I. & was likely operated for many years before finding a private home. Head went to a friend with fair glass, & reels are being removed to keep other Gottlieb pins going. Another local wants to make a coffee table, & still hasn't picked it up. So far over the last 23 years I must of junked 30+ em pins, & likely 50 electronic pins.

    Guys for all the crap on here I get, there are very few techs here. I have been fixing pins for over 20+ years, & our last life long tech passed away a few years ago. There are younger techs getting into the hobby now, & I share any repair info I know. We also lost a close friend who was a big em collector & could spend endless hours trying to repair anything he got. He received all the salvageable parts from the em's I junked over the years.

    If someone is interested in this plug & play playfield shipped for $200 US. I will get a bike box.

    I just added my comments to the op's nice find, & how this one looks with almost 3 times the play.

    Yes S for a early sample game. I had Bally Paragon 1001. Glass was slightly different colors, & Bally stamped sample inside the head.

    Bump for Abra Ca Dabra. I found a buyer for the playfield in the states. He is fixing up a poor example.
