BALLY ONE ARMED BANDIT RESTORE
« on: August 22, 2011, 08:51:33 PM »
Not a pinball in any way but im sure no one will mind if i do a thread.

    Well for those who dont know this machine was offered as a freebie from FastEddie (Thanks a million ED)  Always wanting an EM pokie i jumped at the chance and the wife and i took a road trip to collect it.

   The machine has lived in a damp area for some time and rust is a major issue as this is a keeper i will eventually ave all the external chrome re done was going to get a Nickel kit and redo all the internals but after closer inspecion decided i wouldnt (Photos will explain why)

I had a quick checkover and decided there was enough there to work with so i pushed it aside till i could find time to do it properly i started to overhaul the upper section as this seems to be where most of te action is on the electrical side of things.
   So i took plenty of photos and stripped it down this is what i had to start with
