    Not uncommon for games straight from the parlor to be dirty. In fact, it’s quite normal.

    What’s the dirtiest condition game you’ve received?

    For me, this Senran Kagura below is close to the worst. I’m not even sure how it’s possible to have this much tar built up. It’ll look new soon, but my goodness is that a lot of effort.

    This was from a newer Magical Girl Madoka machine. It's one of the more "interesting" parts to clean. Every time I reassemble one, it feels like I solved a Rubik's Cube

    Battle of Vader is by far the most tedious game to clean. I get night terrors just thinking about cleaning this again..

    Default What’s the dirtiest condition you’ve received a game in

    The dirtiest machine I’ve gotten (besides two flood damaged machines Star Wars and Apollo 1) was a Battle Of Vader machine that made its way through at least two parlors on two different countries over a 5 year span, first a stint in Japan followed by another round of service Myrtle Beach South Carolina till spring of 2019! The beach sand gets everywhere in the clear tubes on that machine due to grimy unwashed pachinko balls at this particular location. Apparently it was a popular/well played machine there.

    I parted it out due to having a bum “clicker”.

    Mr.Crabby (it has a big Crab in the center feature) but the former owner silver spray painted the cast aluminum top tray and it had a dead spider right on the upper right corner of the play field

    The dirtiest machines I have cleaned up have been model B vintages. The ball tracks are usually black all the way through and mechanics are really gummed up. Plus the backgrounds are usually water stained, some more than others. That’s if the front ball tray does not have cigarette burns or worse.
    Pachinko -Nishijin "C" Fishing Game & Hockey, Red Lions, CR Red Lions, Heiwa Double Wing, Takao Bruce Lee, SanseiR&D 777 Sevens Rock, Sankyo Wanted!, lots of other vintages!; Pachislo -SPIN LUCK, Kung Fu Lady, Gamera High Grade, Gundam
