Pinball Machine Help
« on: November 24, 2003, 01:48:48 am »
You guys are great for arcade related stuff but i now have an antique pinball to restore.  I need to find a good pinball repair forum with people as helpful as you all.  Anybody know of such a place?  Specifically i need help finding the schematic sheets for a 1968 Williams "Cabaret" pinball machine.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matthew

You could also try the pinball forum at www.startechjournal.com

The best source of parts and schematics is:

Steve Young's "The Pinball Resource"
8 Commerce St.
Poughkeepsie, N.Y. 12603
Phone: (845) 473-7114
Fax: 845-473-7116
URL: www.pbresource.com

He has tons of NOS and reproduction parts for just about every pinball made. He's a one man show and I think he's on vacation this week till Monday Dec. 1st.

Definitely he would have the schematic and manuals for your machine. I got manuals and schematics for a Williams "Expo" (same vintage as your machine) from him.
