Just picked up my FIRST Project Pin today !!!!!
« on: June 14, 2009, 08:05:44 PM »
Howdy all,
In the words of a famous AUSSIE icon known as Big Kev......
I'M EXCITED !!!!!!!!!!!

Just picked up my very first pinball project, a working SEGA FRANKENSTEIN....... #*# #*# #*#

It is still in German and I am already onto that side. Needs a good clean, new rubbers and globes and a couple of little (very minor) licks of paint.

I will post initial pics later tonight and then more as it progresses....

WOOOOOOOHHHHHHOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!

PS: Thanks Morrie and Gibo for the new pin and hopefully it will soon look a million buckeroos.......

STAY TUNED !!!!!!!!

Overall the machine is in excellent condition.
Its just quite dirty and needs new rubbers and a few globes are either broken or blown.
It has a few cosmetic blemishes with the cabinet and artwork wear around the flipper buttons but nothing that cant be fixed.
Needs to be converted from German into English (a couple of new roms) which I have already arranged and she is all go.

Good stuff - I think those displays are pretty pricey, glad yours is going.
