Not a pin, but while I was at a buddies buddy's house adjusting the valves on his quad I noticed a Stern "Black Beauty" shuffle alley under a few garage items against the wall. A few minutes later we were loading in my truck, $50 Got it home and after adjusting the pinreset contacts and cleaning the alley, we "shuffled" for about an hour!! I'm going to pull the playfield to clean, adjust, and tighten all the contacts and a few of the displays have some barrel cracks but other than that it works and sounds great! The alley has no scratches, but is in serious need of few coats of carnuba. Definitly in good with the boss lady now as she can't beat me at pinball but usally does on a shuffle alley!
 
hera ya go.... I need to strip that paddock pin, PO latexed it, should clean up easy.

Paddock is not to bad ..a little bit of cracks on the playfield and very little flakeing on the back glass... but it plays, just needs the normal tweaking for an old EM!
 
congratulations, nice find and even nicer if you have room to set it up and play it :)
(I love these old games too but just can't fit them anywhere)
