1980 Magic Neon Challengeball
I just imported this rusty 1980 Magic Neon Challengeball; partially tested by the same seller I bought the nice Fuji Cyclone V from; the trim is a little rusty; and I can tell this one needs nearly a full restoration, nails removed, parts removed cleaned up and polished.
Initial testing seems promising; 4 lights aren’t lighting up but that may be to the switches out of adjustment; or just burn bulbs. Sounds work; both of these early 80s models I recently got have an loud alarm that triggers when you drop a token to start the game it activates the solenoid that drops the balls to start the game for 2-3 seconds; completely normal but alarming at first!

Scoring works; and payouts are working.
The plan for this one is the same as the last; nearly a full restoration but preserving the excellent shape factory playfield; I just hope they used solid brass nails in 1980 [emoji1696]
The nails are far too corroded and filthy to be playing this machine; so time to take it all apart now it’s passed the test. [emoji846][emoji106]
