I thought Paul Reno does some jukebox repair?

I bought my wife a dart board and we made the garage sort of a makeshift second gameroom. We have been having a blast together with it. We thought it would be nice to add a cocktail 60 in 1. Not just for us but for the grandkids to play while we play. Not sure how realistic but I don't want a 1Up an...

1967 Crompton's Star Soccer. Have only seen a pic of one other example and it was in England. Sega's 1970 Soccer appears to be inspired from this machine with some variation. Sega has light bulb scoring, this one has cool nixie tubes. This machine currently plays and is in good un-restored original ...

Cool game! Congratulations.

I have a friend in Manitowoc with a couple project games for sale.
1934 Stoner Beacon and a 1934 Gottlieb Merry Go Round for $450 each.

1958 Bally Skill Roll. Nice game overall. Been with one owner since 1986. Ran some nickels through it and plays great, although I haven't completed the bottom row yet. :D Missing original coin box, has schematic. $2750 cash and carry. Would consider trades for Gottlieb Majorettes or 1950s Pitch and ...

Is it safe to assume you're not looking for EMs?

Awesome! Glad you figured it out.

From what I understand 1970s Chicago Coin chime units are basically a Nutone doorbell from the same era. If you have some documentation you may be able to match something up if you can't find it through a pinball source.

90% of EM repair is just cleaning and minor adjustments. That's the beauty of these things. Some lubrication on the stepper contacts is a good idea. Some guys like a little on the metal on metal stepper bits as well. But less is more. A very lightweight oil instead of grease. A light application of ...

I have a friend from Manitowoc with the nicest Friendship 7 I have ever seen. He's not on the group and I'm not sure if he needs a schematic but I let him know about your post.

This guy has one for sale down in Illinois. It's no bargain but maybe it's super nice.

Lighted scoring is exactly as it sounds. Instead of a score reel turning as you score points. Light bulbs illuminate the appropriate points scored. As you accumulate points the bulb position changes to show the higher score. It's pretty cool and will look fantastic with that new backglass.

Looks great! John is always fun and easy to deal with.

Wow, thanks John and Tim. I appreciate the kind words.
