Just picked up my first pinball machine, a Bally Paragon.
I got the idea to buy a pinball a couple of weeks ago and although Paragon was not one of the ones I put on my wanted list, I bought it because it was local and cheap.
It seems to be in decent condition, but I have to rebuild the rectifier board before I can find out what works and what doesn't.
The artwork is in good shape overall, cabinet not faded too badly, backglass is near perfect, playfield is dirty with lots of ball swirls, but no major wear.
I plan a light cleaning/restoration and I would be happy to hear from other Paragon owners, as I may have some questions or problems getting things back the way they should be.
If it plays really well I may keep it, but I'm really looking for a Pin-Bot, High Speed, or Cyclone.
