BALLY PARAGON.... ANOTHER GRAIL PIN TO THE COLLECTION
« on: March 08, 2011, 08:57:28 PM »
Well ive finally made some time to pick up my Paragon which was one of the pins in Pinball spare parts last containers.     

   So thats the good news the bad news is i dont even have room to unwrap it let alone set it up  !!! 

  I didnt realise just how big this machine was so my plan to fit it into the line up has failed miserably  @.@  Hopefully i can arrange some room tonight so i can atleast unwrapp it and see what i have gotten myself into.

  Through the dust the playfield looks in pretty good shape a few wear spots but mainly in hidden places.    Battery has leaked after the 20 years or so in storage but there was a note on the glass saying that it boots and all the displays were good which im pretty happy about.

   Also noticed there is a little plastic goody bag inside which looks to have a flyer and a few other bits inside so im looking forward to checking that out.

   Marcuss new Clown from the same contaier had all the original manuals schematics and even had coins in the cashbox so these really are a suprise package  ^^^

   Photos as soon as i make room

Well im absolutely stuffed now...  After moving seven pins in various stages i managed to make a hole big enough to squeeze her into the line up so without any more teazing here are a few pics she is a very dirty girl which is the way i like them.

Didnt do much to it just gave it a quick check and twitched on a lead to see if it was working and sure enough everything works apart from a few missing coils etc
