I can't believe this machine nearly ended up as landfill. The boards in it are probably one of the nicest set of boards I have seen in a Bally considering it's age and history. I was sure the MPU was going to be melted. Even the transformer looked almost new from what I could see of it. A bit of TLC and this machine will come back to life easily and live to play many more days.
I too will vouch for the Mansfield Hotel, it was a pleasant surprise although I am still not sure about the waitress putting us on the table for two next to the fountain. She must have seen the love in our eyes....pinball love that is.
Another great result and another great pinball trip.
