Dave,

It's these 'little things' that really give your old EM new life.

Would be the first time in 42 years that any type of cleaning/rebuilding would of been done on the mechanical parts.

Hope you are enjoying the ride!

Yeh Tony ..that is in fact a large part of my motivation .. breathing new life into a game this old .. I am pretty obessessed with it all now  .. coil stops are not very worn which is a good sign of not a heap of use. 

I reckon this game must have lived in a mechanics workshop or something .. it was covered with black grease/grime , even under the playfield where you lift it up

Started thinking my other EM's would sure benefit from this same treatment .. by the way , did you ever overhaul the mechanicals on Spanish Eyes ?
