And its a HUO Gold Wings pinball!!!
My coworker's church was redoing their rec room and they bought this machine new in '87. Lately the ball release stopped working and it sat unused for a long time. He asked if I wanted it and I asked how much. He insisted that they were just going to dump it and I could have it if I wanted. I insisted on spotting a litte cash, but they insisted the room they were reclaiming was more than the could have asked for. After a little poking and prodding, it looks to be an issue with the driver board unfortunately. Plus, whoever they hired to fix it in the past really hacked up a few wires. Oh well, free just means I can put more money into making it SUPER nice. The playfield is in mint condition, just needs a little waxing and some rubbers. I plan to make this machine the first machine I fully disassemble and shop out correctly and I will document it in the restoration forums.
