Didn't take any pics, but just finished with shopping the playfield on my gottlieb robo war. I bought it from a guy locally who said he had got it from someone who had it stored in a partially open shed. The mud dabbers here in missouri were very brutal to this machine. There were clumps of dirt throughout the cabinet and playfield. The shop-vac sure came in handy. The playfield cleaned up nicely, but took a lot longer to do because of all the dirt. Has anyone else ever cleaned up a game in this kind of condition?
 
Not me personally; however, I was reading some websites a week or two ago and one guy found an old machine he wanted to restore and was cleaning roach and rat droppings off the playfield. I'd much rather have your situation than his.
 
Same here. Not sure how long this one sat around, but I'm sure it was quite a while. It had never been shopped and was non-working when I bought it. Lucky for me, the problem was just cracked solder connections on the ground plugs to the transformer.
