« on: March 17, 2009, 09:28:59 PM »
Hi all here is a few pics of my latest score from Mark C It was a 1957 Continental Cafe Should come up good with a polish as seen in the few sample spots.   But it was no match for a hammer and screw driver.... !*!

That was just in case something "accidently" happens to me, you can contact the authorities!

I'm hoping that the surprise is a reproduction body ?

Did it come with the head / backglass ?

Two words: not on.














But seriously, what plans have you got?

Coffee table? Playfield wall line-up? Something else?

Hey Nino the suprise isnt a new body for this machine but i am thinking about building one. No it didnt have a backbox or backglass just the lower cabinet which was eaten alive by boarers and falling to pieces.  I originally wanted it for some of the plastic posts for my Riviera and some parts will be sent to tony for one of his games.

ajlaird  plans were to use the playfield post to complete Riviera then hang the rest on the wall but it might just go into starage as its to good to wreck

No worries, while it would be nice to save all existing pinball machines I can see that it is not feasible.

At least you will get something useful from it.
