Started out the day driving about a hundred miles for an Atari Football. Got it and it's very nice, only 3400 plays on the counter.

Get home, wear myself out playing the kids on the football game, eat supper and decide to veg on the couch and do my nightly ritual of browsing Craigslist.

See two pinball machines, call and they are still there. Ended up getting Playboy and Cleopatra pinball machines, both for $100. They are complete, but need a lot of cleaning and I'm too tired to fool with them tonight. I plan on cleaning them and taking inventory of things before plugging them in for a smoke test.

Here's the pics from the CL ad.

Nice scores for the day! Dude in case you DIDN'T know, that Playboy pin is worth a pretty good chunk of money. That's the first one built...from '78 or '79. If the playfield is in good shape then even better yet!
 
Your pics are so tiny I can barely tell what it is you picked up.

I was in such a hurry I forgot the camera. The first pics were from the Craigslist ad.

Here's some better pics.

The football game is in great shape. The Cleopatra is not bad considering what I paid for it. I'm going to use it as the guinea pig to learn about pinball machines before starting on the Playboy.

It's got bad flaking on the back glass and wear on the playfield.

Here's the Playboy pics. It's in better shape than the other one. Both have a ton of dust, dirt and grime on them. Next step is to clean everything and take a look inside them.
