This machine was previously owned by an ex-operator, he had a coin-op route 20+ years ago and he pulled this machine out of his route after about 1-2 years and it has been in his basement ever since. It was the last machine he kept and it got played quite a bit over the years, but it was kept up pretty nice.
The belts were shot, ball wasn't the original, and the artwork needs replacing. The wood base should likely be replaced as well, and the coin door is missing the left coin return cover. New t-molding will be needed. Will need to repaint the coin door too, and while I'm at it I'll probably go ahead and strip the old woodgrain off (has quite a few nicks and the edges are bad in several places), bondo where needed, and put new woodgrain vinyl on. Will do the same with the black vinyl on the front.
Now the good news: game works fine, no water damage, joysticks are good, and the playfield is *REALLY* nice. I think a little Novus on that playfield and it'll look gorgeous.
Since I've wanted one of these for a while, I'm going to make it look really nice before it goes downstairs to join the rest of the gang. And it gets bumped to the front of the line of my projects...
