New addition .. Old Chicago
« on: December 07, 2011, 07:37:43 PM »
Picked up my Xmas present to myself this afternoon .

Won't be playing it till
1) Replace power cord
2) Strip, clean and wax the playfield
3) Give her a full mechanical overhaul.

Playfield has wear around the upper post above the flippers and a bit of planking, otherwise pretty good.
Backglass condition is one of the best I've seen.

Cab is pretty faded , especially front and one side .

I need more room ! and more $$$

A classic Bally - love this game. almost all Old Chicagos have bad cabinet fade. I'll ask Gavin to do a stencil set, as mine needs it as well.

Well done on scoring this title.

Very nice, I played one of these a couple of years ago when I was at a house of a guy buying another game, really liked it.
