what pinball to buy next

Great score and welcome to the system 80 club 

Word of warning re pin all the connectors and do all the ground mods, it's only way to get them to run reliably.

Bottom playfield having trouble kicking ball up, do the mod with the pop bumper board kicks it up everytime.

I also have some aftermarket system 80 boards 4sale if needed.

Best advice on the old system 80s...

Yep, I'll second that!

Guess I'm a recent convert with system80s... I love them now - not as much as the classic Ballys, but getting close..

Once they are "bulletproofed" they are great to have in a games room.

after having a closer look at my HH there will be a lot of work,

with the bottom playfield being removed they have done everything to stop the ball going

to the bottom playfield, cut wires to the trap door, and blocked the cellar hole with some sort of bog.

coils and brackets missing from under the lower PF, at least the lower PF came with the machine.

im sure it will all work out in the end!!!

cheers Ian

It WILL work Ian !

Just needs some TLC - you should see mine - a real project game - but with HEAPS of potential ! I can't wait to restore it - and I have already received a repro backglass.

Thanks Strangways, it will all come together.

some pictures.


cheers Ian

Ian, I fear for your sanity. That looks like way too much work to get going. As I do worry for you, I feel it my duty to offer to take that game off your hands, lets say an extra $100 over what you paid?  Yes, yes, I know you may be a little overawed at the offer and the general kindness that brought it about, but your welfare is important to me. Please pack the game and I'll be over with some cash shortly.   

[Retropin]

A very kind an unselfish offer Pinnies4me.
Please accept the AP samaritan of the week award

That's one nice looking HH  

There are scans available of the high wear playfield area's, you can make decals and then mylar over the top.

Looks Great, Ian..

..and it will look even better after you have finished it.
