Bally "BOWL-O" 1969

[Romano]

Greetings Friends,

Been a while. Personal tragedies aside, Im back  . I promised some time back that I would post the beginning-to-end photos of my restoration of the said machine. Unfortunatley, I cannot for the life of me find the "before" photos as it would have been good to demonstrate the condition I brought this back from. However, as promised, the "during" and "after" are all here. This is part 1. Enjoy! Sandro

Great work. You make it look too easy (which it isn't).

Hi bsa, thanks for that. This is my third project. My previous restorations have been a Gottlieb "Drop-A-Card" and a Gottlieb "High Hand". I have a few more machines that will keep me busy for some time

Lots of Love for the Bally EMs. Certainly a rare title - Great job. What's next in the resto Q ?

Hi. My next Project will be a 1974 Williams "Skylab" quite a dull and worn playfield on that one. Luckily, there is not much wear down to the bare wood  . I have just received a complete set of playfield plastics from the US. Before I start this one though I have some minor repairs on a 1978 Playmatic "New World". Once that's out of the way, "Skylab", here I come  .
