Great job! Makes me want to play those or go buy one and fix it up.

Thanks. I really am happy with how it came out and really enjoyed doing it. Very satisfying to bring something back to life that was left to waste. I enjoy both of my machines but the first one holds more of a special place as it is a family heirloom. That being said, the Super-8 is pretty darn cool and more difficult than I imagined it would be. After playing for a bit though I have gotten much better with placement of the balls but still is not as easy as I thought.

Thanks, I am really happy with how it came out. I am pretty much done and just need to video it. I am still waiting on my brother in law to finish the super 8 card he is recreating for me. I am not paying for it so I am being patient. . I still need to take the lock for the coin door to see if I can have it keyed. Just been sidetracked of late with life is not gotten out to try. Soon.

That machine will probably run on a lantern battery. Most early pins of that era were designed as so.

Yep, it looks like it ran on about 4 originally. I am running it with a car battery charger instead. I did not want to keep replacing batteries. The charger cost about the same as 4 of the batteries anyway so it made the most sense. So far so good...
