    There's some nice interesting looking cells amongst them

    well my next job is to figure out which ones to keep and try to fix and which ones to either sell or part out.

    I know it is pretty neat, it seems to be missing a lot of parts on the back. I like the one with the scuba diver being bitten by the shark on the center. I really like the single shot too. it seems to be all there just needs to be cleaned up a whole bunch.

    I know, spinners are all gone. Now I need to round some up. I am working on that one first. The cell has some stains that appear to be under the laminate (dark spots maybe mold?) and is very sun faded. I would love to get it really clean but I was also thinking of the wrap method that a few are having good results from. Either scan the original or I was thinking the scuba diver and shark center would make a great Jaws theme pachi.

    Well I was checking out the GM-X (3rd one down in the pictures) with the neat cell with the hot air balloons and the back side of the play field board has some serious water rot/damage. The wood is coming apart big time. I'm not sure what to do since the play field looks so nice. I would have to replace the whole backboard & re router all the slots & holes. Since the wood has expanded due to the damage the balls get hung up from the gaps created. The mechanics do not sit flush against it any longer. I will post some pics when I get a chance.

    Any way to put glue between the sheets and clamp it? I've fixed more than a couple that way (moderns though).

    It's pretty bad. It goes several layers deep and they are each warped like that. Here is a pic of it.

    I like #3 and #5, the rest are in major distress. Either way, great day of aquisitions for sure. Keep us posted on the restoration process. This stuff should keep you busy for a few weeks/months.

    If only all of us could score a deal like that. Interesting looking machines for sure. Maybe when the restoration starts, you will be able to share some really helpful info on restoring a really beat up machine. Give hope to those who have ones that are severly distressed.

    And Good LUCK
