Responded to a craigslist ad for a Simpsons Pinball Party. Made arrangements to pick it up from the Bar it was currently on location at. Turns out that competitive pin player Keith Elwin was the one I was working out the deal with (he was helping the owner of the bar with the sale). This one has been on my want list for quite a while and for being on loaction in a bar it is in pretty good shape I think. Any protectors I should get?

Who farted spraypaint on the start button? At least they had the flipper button protectors.
 
Looks to be in good shape for a routed pin. Looks like they've even put some LEDs in there...

There are some start button protectors you can get. I'd CAREFULLY clean up the crap around the start button and then throw a clear protector over it.

I can't reiterate how careful to be when cleaning the TSPP cab. I cleaned around the front with windex and ended up wiping all the ink off the start button area!!!
 
great score there dean! i know youve been looking for one of these for quite sometime too.

looks to be in pretty good shape too. this game is always rated high for top STERN pins of all time. seems like tspp is always rated top 3 ..... lotr, spidey, tspp. super deep too.

good stuff bro!
 
just looked at the pics again.... almost looked they went LED crazy in the machine. maybe try taking out some of those red leds (dancer girls) and just replace them with the good ol white incandescents. i think this pin looks better with the old school lights in them (keep the leds to a minimum).
 
Thanks for the tips to avoid windex while cleaning up the cab! Not really sure what to try to use to remove the spray paint if windex removed the ink on your machine? I'd think that most paint strippers and even magic erasers would do dammage if windex did.

Chris, I agree 100% with the red leds on the Duff Girls. They look like hookers or something with the red leds.
