Better than the "Bowling Queen" you found a few years back? Yikes, though. Change out those blackened bulbs in the backbox. It's amazing that the backglass held up so well with them in there. Once they get black like that, they burn really hot.
Quoted from greatwichjohn: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.

That's not a good thing for someone in your line of work to say!
Well, the OP really should have posted under "Show us your EM pinball machines", or "What game did you bring home today?", rather than starting a new thread.
Being that he did not, he should expect others to want to chime in with their own cherry wedgeheads.
Quoted from boilerman:it is a gorgeous Volley.
Vic have you ever seen a serial number stamp that unmolested?
It could partially be due to where the serial number is stamped. Not that your game isn't in outstanding condition, but the paint around the serial number probably gets a lot less abuse being where it is compared to the usual location.
