Nino,

A very enjoyable thread, especially as it was shared as it happened.  Well done, yet another machine brought back to life.  Now here's a question for you - how many machines would you estimate you have restored since your first one?

I honestly don't remember. Also the line between restoration and reconditioning was very thin years ago. I think my first "restoration" was a GTB "Sky Jump". I still have this machine. That was around 10 - 15 years ago. I don't know anyone was restoring games back then. Dealers we just "shopping" the games - and the standard was horrible. My first memory was standing behind the head of a Bally Bingo, holding the light so my father could see what he was fixing. This was around 1978-79. This was my first introduction to repairing machines - which led to the "addiction" that it is today.
