Post some pics of the most thrashed pin in your collection that you still keep around to play!

Let's see how ugly(but still playable) it can get!
 
I loved playing my SS, only I recently sold it though so it may not count since it's not in my game-room anymore.

i dont have any in that bad of condition.......wow......one time...years ago i went to look at a 6 million dollar man that some old old lady had and the playfield was trashed....inches and inches of paint missing. and she thought it was worth a fortune but it looked like that space machine pictured above
 
I'd say that counts even if you sold it. Come on surely some of you are holding out on some ugly playable games. Show your love for your thrashed pins and pony up some pics!
 
I have to say, all the pins in my collection are in great cosmetic condition. But my first pin (which I still own ) was in horrible shape when I first got it. It worked though and for $100 who can complain? Here are a couple pics before I started hand painting the PF.

so lets see the touch-up job you did?

Here's a couple of shots. I'm still experimenting with text and am considering a few different approaches. It's still in the unfinished stage though, still color matching some spots. No clear coat has been applied. Just haven't had the time to devote to this lately. (like for the last year or so).

How much did you get for it in that condition?

Honestly I can't remember, I traded/sold a bunch of pins around that time. It was to TimN here though and he either had another PF or was going to get the CPR PF that's about to come out. I miss that game though, it had great gameplay and now I'm going to have to look for another, who knew?

That would be me.... $350.00.... and it is only the SECOND worse thrashed pin in my collection that gets play. My R911 has more paint missing than it does showing.

As far as the SS, I still play it weekly, and I will be getting a CPR PF when it comes out. the cabinet is nice, the backglass is nice, and well, the outhole wasn't working on the right (switch broke upstream, and I resoldered it), and otehr than that it plays pretty nice. I felt it was a good price and Dan is an awesome dude...(even though his pinball to video game ratio is screwed up)....
 
Not anymore!
3 vids, and counting the one that just went out on location last night for a bit, 5 pins :D

You'll have to go to Ixonia to play RBION for now :)

:) Welcome to the darkside... You have your own route now, or are you still doing route repair stuff for that guy? Either way, that is awesome that you are doing that.... RBION would have stayed in my basement.....GREAT game.
 
My Eight Ball Deluxe. I finally got sick of looking at it and installed an overlay.

That looks really nice with the overlay.

How many of you have went the overlay route vs. finding a nos or nicer donor playfield during your restorations?

Pics if you have them!
