You asked me to post what I done

Machine:
Clean the inside and out side of the machine.
Polish and buff the front of the machine.
Take apart the reflectors and lens, clean them so the lights are brighter.
Polish the cell with "Cell polish from Japan and designed for it".
Check all connector and mating parts for alinement and seating.
Add volume controls as needed.
Add Auto button as wanted.
On loose glass machines add "two" new Plexiglas windows (the game looks, sounds and plays better).
Replace the lock with one that is key matched, so it is easy to open the cell window and open machine from frame.
Check the speakers for any damage, replace as needed.
Check all boards on back to see that they are locked in place.
Add as needed a CR By-Pass connector (dongle).

Frame:
Rebuild the frame replace the nails with drywall screws and grommet washers, also gluing and squaring as needed.
Mount play platform made from 1 by 4 inch number #1 pine boards, recess the screws to protect where machine is set.
Mount a 6 AMP Transformer with Auto-reset able thermal cutout, made by Power Volt, Inc., an USA made designed to run 27/7.
Add a three prong plug with ground and wire it up to transformer than machine, connect the ground system so it works.

Do a 10 hour run time to check all boards, transformer, ball configuration, lights and sound.
Just before wrapping for shipping, re-polish full front than bag and wrap.

Thanks Arby. I thought everyone would be interested in seeing how much effort you put into the machines you sell. It's no wonder your machines get rave reviews from the folks here.

Lew, did you see Arby's list? It's like we're getting new machines!

No wine before its time. But I think Lew and I are more than ready for these babies.

Arby, Do you sell Pachinko machines on e-bay? If you do, what is the name of the store you sell them thru?

[arbycoffee]

No store on ebay, but I do sell there at times.
I sell mostly by "word of mouth", I do a custom job to each machine. So what I sell mostly is the newest machines here, before the normal vendors sell them. And I fully go through them, as above.

What are you looking for ? also in parlor ready or Cyclic ?

[sacpinplayer]

OK! The stork is taking a break at the UPS transfer facility about 80 miles from our home.

Mike you should camp out and run shotgun for the UPS truck. Make sure the driver is well fed etc. Take care of the driver and your baby will be making it just fine!

Yep. Today's the day! I'm installing a new cable modem and router this morning. If I don't post for a while it's either because the modem install didn't go well or, more likely, I'm off in a galaxy far, far away................

OUT FOR DELIVERY

[Tony Junior]

Darn even I can hardly wait for a report!

[arbycoffee]

Just as bad for me - not knowing how the apes of UPS handled it.

You pack for the worst, but they will come up with something else, like strapping on the front and playing bumper pool with trucks.

Relax guys. Not here yet but should be within the next 60 minutes The extra time allowed me to get the new modem and wireless router installed and three of the four PCs set up with the Internet. The fourth has to wait because I'm going to be looking out the front window for a while. There's the doorbell!!!

OK! Looks like the stork was pretty careful with the box during the trip.

Arby, the box looks fine. I have to finish a few chores prior to the boss getting home so I won't unpack it until later tonight. Will post again then.
