Are all Playfields the same apart from the artwork?

Just happened upon this thread now... what an amazing story, Nino! It's the sort of thing you expect to hear about someone else's family but never your own. Glad to hear your old man thought well of your future self and not so highly of your younger self ;)

Congratulations on the find. Glad you can share it with your dad, as well as those of us on AP :)

They are pretty much the same. there are rollover buttons that advance certain features that are not common to all games.

Here's the boxes of spares that were in the room ;











In the garage at Dad's place, there are original legs, balls, playfield parts, original backglasses and reproductions. I have boxes full or original coils and new coils wound by Dad in the 60's. Some amazing stuff.

Thanks to all for the positive comments. It has been a great adventure that was more of an emotional experience than anything else. I'm relieved to have the machines as well !

Another great score for your restorations spare parts inventory Nino.  I still can't see how the new home of APR is going to be big enough

Hi Danny - Not yet. They have been moved under my stairs at work - but I see them every day. I restored a Miami Beach 10-15 years ago, and that will be moved across when time permits.
