    That's awesome. I'm working on an old EggHead machine from the early 60's. Lots of work, but well worth it.

    Yeah, these old EMs are definitely intriguing and very fascinating. Much more to them than a vintage pachinko I'll be redoing the playfield on a couple of my machines but I did manage to find an NOS playfield for my Mini Pool and a repro backglass for the Universe. Yes, lots of work but very rewarding.

    I figured I'd show off some pics of my actual machines and the plans for each.
    All 4 are working but the Universe is not plugged in since I'm stripping the playfield as evidenced by the small pile of parts on the play field.
    Universe-Has a new repro backglass, new playfield plastics, rubber kit
    Mini Pool- NOS playfield and inserts (haven't put it on yet), rubber kit, new lane guides, new play field posts, new stand-up targets
    Kings&Queens-New repro playfield and inserts (haven't put it on yet), new lane guides, new pop bumper caps/bodies, rubber kit
    Sweet Hearts-just got it in but will be shopped and restored and the cabinet and backbox re-stenciled but the fact that it had been painted over helped with the price and stenciling though time-consuming, is easy. O A few light bulbs are out too in a couple of these but they'll all be replaced with new 44's.

    So I've got lots of parts to install but as usual it's just finding the time.
