I have been asked to work on 7 pins for a local company

A person who follows my blog and messageboard contacted me asking if I wanted to work on a few pins that they are going to set up at their new location for their start up business. Don't Panic Labs is somehow incorporated with the local university and they specialize in developing software to create products. They are located in the historic haymarket part of downtown Lincoln, NE that has been developed a bunch and the voters just approved a new arena to be built. It is some very sought after property. Although these games will not be open to the public, they want them working good to provide a unique environment for future clients.
They knew I was a pinball guy and hoped I would give their machines a good run through to get them playing good. Here is the list of games.
Funhouse
Terminator 2
Mario Andretti from Gottlieb. Not sure what model.
Adams Family
Jurassic Park
Last Action Hero
Lethal Weapon 3
Stargate Arcade Machine – Full manual (16p-3002-101 October, 1981)
I am going to stop by tuesday evening to get the over view of them and see what might need to be done.
From what I know this is the collection of a guy who does not do regular maintenance on his machines. he has the manuals and says they are 80% working. Not really sure what that means, but they say bulbs are out and they just need some general love.
I have not agreed to payment or really know what I have gotten myself into, but think I can handle most of it. Polish or replace balls, clean and wax playfields, replace rubbers, adjust switches, and possibly work on some boards. I would really love a funhouse and have already planted the seed for doing all of the work and parts for free for a discounted chance at the funhouse.
So this thread will be where I document how it goes. Wish me luck. I have never seen an opto, so this should be a ton of fun
