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 ?
