Arcade Collecting > Pinball
I finally got a pin...RESTORED AND LOVING IT.
ChadTower:
Erm, yeah, go from $350 to $2800. :laugh2:
ChadTower:
Found a PDF of your manual, plus a bunch of other stuff. Where I can email it?

Well I have the pin and I must say, for the price I paid I think I did very well for a first pin. It obviously needs a very good cleaning, new rubbers, new ball. I have the marvin3m sys1 guide and plan on going thru it and doing all of the preliminary stuff immediately. The underside of the playfield is in VERY good shape from a quick isual inspection. No dirt, rust, or bad looking things. All boards are intact and look good. No acid damage at all, which is amazing. The guy I bought it off of removed the battery as soon as he got it.There is a capacitor that is hanging off of the power supply in a strange way, so I will be rebuilding the whole PS just to be safe. The cabinet is dirty, but in very good shape otherwise. The backglass has very minimal flaking on the girls face areas around where the lights are. You don't even see it when the machine is off. There are only two very small wear areas on the playfield near two of the bonus lights. VERY easy to touch up.
I'll take some detailed pictures in the next few days when I get time.
ChadTower:
Sweet. It inspired me to start a bit more work on my Sinbad. I had already TripleThicked the backglass yesterday. Today I took the CPU board out and removed the battery. Not a drop of corrosion on it. A miracle.
I see another obvious problem, though... one of the solenoid buffer chips has a chunk missing. That ain't good.

Soooooo........................... you mentioned a few months back that you didn't need any more projects, so you let a wonderful Ms Pac rot away on someone's front porch. And now I hear that you're sitting up at 2AM in your boxers, bidding on Charlies Angels pins on eBay.... Did I miss anything? Anyone else see something weird going on here? :D
And uh, oh yeah- congrats BOSLEY..
