.... and got exactly what I paid for with it.

It's sat on the ground in the weather under a tarp for at least a few years. The heat, humidity, rain (we get around 60"-80" a year) and bugs have gotten to it.

I pushed the head down onto the body, wrapped it in shrink-wrap and loaded it on the truck still attached to the dolly because I'm afraid the next time I move it it's going to fall apart.

It's too far gone for anything but as a parts donor, so it's got parts destined for another Playboy, Strikes and Spares, and a Kiss pinball machine.

Enjoy the pics,

-JM

First thing you do when you get it home - seal that backglass; it looks like it's starting to flake a bit, and once it gets started...:D
 
From what you can see in the first pic, it wasn't quite square after a trip of about ten miles.

The next couple of pics show inside the head and cabinet.

At least something good came off of it. I think this playfield may clean up nicely, but unfortunately it's been wet at the top for a while. So it may only end up as wall art.

Most of the mechanical parts and the playfield glass will end up getting used again in another couple of machines.

This makes me sad. It looks like all of the artwork was there at one time, but it couldn't take the heat and moisture.
