I was out going through some garage sales this morning, and I purchased a really nice Earthshaker! I've really been getting the pinball bug the past few months and I really was hoping to find a good deal on one. The left main flipper doesn't work but I think it's just loose. There are several bulbs out so I'll have to start replacing them. Should be fun to do.
I got the machine for $450. Was that a good deal? The cool thing that I noticed is that it has the Institute drop feature only available one early releases.
I've collected video games for 15 years, but this is my first pinball. So where should I start to get good noob restoration information. I want to completely clean the playfield and get this machine looking great. Also have a couple minor paint peels in the backglass that I would like to touch up. What's a good technique for this. Any advice would be appreciated!
Pics coming soon, after I pick up the cabinet!
