Mata Hari Restore
I know of at least one person here that was hoping to snatch up the Mata Hari that went up on Kijiji this week. Just figured I'd let you all know I managed to pick it up this afternoon.
My first pin!!
The back glass is mint, and a brief look over the boards I saw no burn marks or anything that stood out. The paint is rough, but nothing that can't be fixed.
Got it all moved in to it's new home, put the legs on it, and plugged it in annnnnddd....
Nothing... crap... is the outlet maybe not working? Outlet works... did I plug it in wrong? no... Is there maybe a power switch hidden? AH-HAH! Here's one on the bottom of the cab! Flip the switch and VOILA! We have lights on! ! ... ! .......
...But no flippers, doesn't coin up, etc. etc. Removed the lockbar, slid out the glass, lifted the playfield to see if there was maybe something else I could turn on? Got a call from Burt6666, he gave me a couple pointers and things to check for (thanks again!).
Now begins my journey! I'll post some pictures hopefully tonight, but maybe tomorrow.
