Dammit man, if you could just stop producing cool shit for a while I might have a chance to catch up! :-P (Currently cutting out the terminal tabs for one of the your pinball restorations.)
I really want the Williams Fish Tales machine but 9000 euros?😅 Maybe I should look for a different machine that looks almost perfect from the outside but doesn't work? I can maybe pay 3000 euros at max for a pinball machine. And even that amount of money is hard to come by for me. But I have to admit... I know almost nothing about pinball machines. I do know stuff about electronics and I'm a tech guy and I did repair a pinball machine at work in the past. And it was a Williams! It didn't respond to coins so I took the whole coin thing apart and cleaned it and put it back. After that it did respond to coins but 1 flipper wasn't working because the switch was faulty. Good thing I was building an arcade cabinet that had the same type of button switches so I could replace it. It was the wrong color but we didn't care! The thing worked! But this was a best case scenario... the machine had been fixed a few years prior. I won't have that luck if I buy a near perfect looking but non working machine for myself.😅 But I know I can fix it. And these days there are tons of videos on youtube that show how to fix those machines and tons of forums full of experienced people ready to help.
I've played this pinball quite a bit. It was at the local bowling alley back in the 90s in Jacksonville il.
It is a classic!
Nicely done. They are all looking pretty cool.
Thanks 👍
Onya Raff! One of my favs
Going to be fun!
