Re: Jacks Open - My First EM

Thanks guys.  I've been looking for an EM for a fair while now, stumbled across this one which I am pretty happy with for my first EM. 

Wifey just dosen't get it and can't understand my fascination with this machine.  Pretty amazing looking around it and slowly figuring out what makes it tick.  The sounds are an instant flashback to the old milk bars, particularly Joe's milkbar at North Cronulla beach, that always had a machine sitting in the corner. 

Funny how we always seem to gravitate back to prevalent things from our childhood days in our older years.  Hopefully my kids will look back at my machines with fondness as well and whinge about the amount of time Dad used to spend in the garage with the pinball machines over Christmas lunches when I am long gone.

I'm sure I recall that restore Nino did, it was when I first discovered the pinball forums and I remember thinking 'gotta get one of them one day' as well as being in awe of his work.  I know you're a busy man Nino but if you ever feel like doing another resto on one of these let me know.

Apart from magic eraser, is there any way of removing the ball swirl with minimal risk of damaging the playfield?
