Well I travelled to bendigo today to pick up the new old game.  It looked good in the photos and looks just as good in real life the Backglass is perfect and the Playfield doesn't look like it's had many games either the shooter lane is hardly marked.
        When I opened up the machine I was lucky enough to find the broken piece of the front inside the machine so the glue is drying as I type ;)

     All internals are clean and in corroded which is a good start but all the steppers are seized from the concrete grease used back in the day once the glue is dry I'll start on the steppers and see if I can bring it back to life. 

  Best part about finding the broken piece is it still has the original artwork ( the rest of the cabinet has been stripped) so I can match colors ready to resort the cabinet.

   Now all I need is a set of legs anyone have a set for sale?

   Does anyone have a 1940 Gottlieb?  I have some questions if you do?
