Hmm, and something with wooden legs next to the Fathom....That should spark some interest.

All these jokes about - "hey can you shift the Fathom, I need to move the Medusa to get the Jacks Open down to lift the Surfer which is sitting on top of the World Fair.  The Zip-A-Doo is in the way of the Lucky Strike so I can finally start working on the Diamond Jack."   %$%

The machine next to the Fathom with the wooden legs is a 50's Bingo my Father and I restored - A Bally Miami Beach. We repainted the the cabinet a few years ago and we are waiting on a spare playfield good enough to go in the machine.

Maybe this dude could help you: http://www.ballybingo.co.uk/index1.html

I actually have another playfield in another building - I just cannot get to it right now  #@#

There are a few Bingo parts that I need to inventory. But thanks for the link, Tony  ^^^

Honestly - I can't remember the last time I was bored. At the moment - I'm "beyond excited" - if that is at all possible. I'll need to take more pictures - especially of the backglasses. MOST are perfect.

how do you sleep at night knowing that you have all those pins to work on?
can you turn your mind off or do you lie there for hours in bed thinking of this pin and that playfield and so on?

i find it hard to sleep on the nights between paying for 1 pin and that pin arriving. i imagine its like that only 40 times worse.  :D :D :D
