My new baby

[DaemonCollector]

Just got this today, its been living in my grandfathers basement for 30 years

[Acids]

Nice...   In pretty good shape by the looks..   Playing ok ?

[DaemonCollector]

Can't tell yet, every rubber on it needs to be replaced, the 10s and 1s score reel don't turn. Beyond that all I found where a few dead light bulbs. Waiting on the manual I ordered to come in so I can make sure its working as it should. Ive been busy cleaning the 20 years of dust that have built up on the inside

In the meantime, go over the playfield with Novus 2, then a pure caranuba wax (can be had at any auto parts store).  Order a batch of coil sleeves, replace the sleeve in every coil.  Replace the ball(s).

[DaemonCollector]

Is there anywhere I would be able to walk into and buy novus? This is my first pinball so I don't have such things on hand.

[ChadTower]

Not that I know of, but if you go to Pinballlife.com, you can get it there.  Get Novus 2 and 1, you'll probably never need 3.  You can get your sleeves and balls there, too, along with every other supply you'll need for the cleaning/shop.  The prices are cheap and I have ordered from them many times.

[DaemonCollector]

The stuff I already ordered I got from http://www.pbresource.com they seem to be pretty good too. I'll sit down and compare prices and such a little later

ooo that just screams retro

Hey just a quick not on the Novus.  I bought it from The Container Store, some stupid little store that sells pretty much Tupperware and storage boxes, I can't seem to find it at the moment but as I remember it was pretty cheap, I use it to clean CDs and it works amazing!  http://www.containerstore.com/find/index.jhtml that's a list of where each store is located perhaps one is near you, just a thought!

[DaemonCollector]

Im 5 minutes from one, I'll call over there tommarow and see if they carry it.

Man, that thing is so beyond cool it ain't funny. I'm extremely jealous.

[DaemonCollector]

Well made some progress today, fixed all the score reels and half of the ball counter...still having issues counting, but it resets properly now.

[DaemonCollector]

I finished fixing the ball counter and started tackeling the letters, they all light up properly but the T and E and they share a circuit, and while tracing it down I blew a fuse! ARGGG. Gotta run out and buy some tommarow.

[GGKoul]

How did you Grandfather pick that up?

[Wetworks]

Excellant...good to see some more em's being restored here's a photo of mine has been a labour of love but I love it more than my newer pins. I have it set to free play by taping the swich in the credit wheel permantly closed. ( and can't get the coin mech working yet but other than that it plays fine I find you have to be more precise with your shots on these older pins ( not unlike older video games ) bought mine for $100.00 aus ( and it was layered in concrete and full of rat ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- but the rats never ate the wire just half the schematics ) how is your credit wheel? my spring seems out of whack . Good luck with it!!!!

BTW my em is missing its back door ..I know yours is not a playmatic like mine but just be interested to see a shot of the inside of the back door to help me make mine. Can't find one on the net ! Not the score reels and such just looking at the the door from the inside in,,Thanks if you can
