Has anyone ever heard of this place?
Trying to research the history of my machine.
I have the original 77/78 Texas occupation tax stamp, the 79 stamp/permit was removed "void" lines remain where it was. And the 1980 Texas stamp/permit is intact. Showing 2-1/2 to 3 years of licensed use.
The old man I bought it from, stated he was a retired military person, moving to flordia, and did not want to take it on another move.
He had bought it with one of his first checks when he enlisted, and it "smoked" in the first couple of years he had it.
He was sent over seas, and left it with his parents in the garage, moved back and took it with him to California and back to Texas in around 1991. And it sat inside his house as a conversation piece since.
Fast forward 26 years later. I get a call from a guy saying he had a pinball that was not working I could have for parts for $45.
The next day I went and picked it up with the help of my brother.... Holy shit pinballs are heavy.
I have a restore thread. On this machine and it is now working, awaiting wax and a rubber set.
