Wow... I have seen this machine just once in an old tavern in Milwaukee... many years ago. I remember it only because 1) it had a bad flipper that made the game fundamentally unplayable and 2) the pumpkins on the back glass were distinctive to the play of the game. It was also not in very good condition. Similar to this one. I tried to play it, but the bad flipper just would not deliver a good play experience. Hope you can bring some new fresh life back into this gem of a machine.
Very nice old Bally E M. …Good job on the fuse holders. …. one simple but really effective fix, just by changing the fuse holders…They don’t always need changing but these ones were past their reliable, use by date. The playfield scrubbed up very nice. Looking forward to the trouble shooting on this game. Thanks for sharing these old games with everyone.
been loving this channel! Came across the Dracula pinball videos and been watching a bunch! This machine is beautiful. As a Halloween/Autumn lover I really dig all the pumpkins.
Back in my younger days, pinball was cool (as it still is now). But alas, quarters were in very short supply .. rich kids’ pastime. A little later on, my uncle got a couple .. sometimes we played them all night (Slick Chick was one of them).
I've got the head (or body?) of a Slick Chick but I don't have the whole machine, maybe one day we'll be able to piece it back together on this channel!
For the pop bumper covers, when the lettering/numbering is coming off like these, do you: 1) Leave it as is. 2) Try to paint the missing part back on. 3) Replace the cap, if available. 4) "Shut up and just watch the next/future videos and find out."
There is just something about the artwork on the machines from the 1960s. It like a time capsule. An era frozen and preserved in time. I think it is a true piece of history.
Looks a lot better cleaned and waxed. I can never figure out how a mouse can get inside a cabinet. Can't wait to see what happens when you first start a game.
Light bulb for the play counter... or was that a night light for Mr. Mouse? 🤔😂😲 Cool old game (older than me!). Looks like another fun one that's turning out nice like you always do 'em! 😎 BTW, can't fool me - I immediately caught the change from Ron to Joe! I must have watched a lot of your videos. 😊
Very fun learning more about these EM machines! 1. Are there good LED options for the interior bulbs? I’d figure that the heat reduction and lower power consumption would be good reasons, but are they a bad idea for other reasons? 2. I’ve had good luck cleaning stuff with baby wipes. Are they safe for machines of that era? Many thanks for sharing these.
LEDs will usually come on and go out instantly unlike incandescent filaments, also they might flicker. Other than that they should be compatible with typical EM machines.
When you have a situation in a pinball machine where mice and rats have built a nest and urinated everywhere, what's the best way to get rid of the urine smell and how do you sanitize the cabinet inside?
you had me curious so i looked up options, i noticed there are foggers intended for cars for mouse urine, maybe something like that would help as it would attack the smell everywhere you cannot reach yourself. just have to make sure it wont damage anything.
Hi Ron was wondering if you got any of my emails on the Chicago coin shuffle bowler. Trying to restore it I got it close to being ready. Now I have a problem with the pins resetting after first puck is thrown it does almost every time. Thank you.
Really enjoy these videos you make about your repairs. Definitely helps me keep my pins, mostly 70s ems and a few early ss, up and running. I am starting to restoring all my pins and have a question about the Krylon clear you use. Since it is oil based do you have any issue of yellowing? Thanks again for the great videos. Keep them comming...Ed.
@@LyonsArcade Thanks for the quick response. What is your clear procedure...couple light coats over the repaired area then let dry? Would like to see that included in one of your videos. Thanks again, Ed.
Hopefully that mouse nest wasnt formerally a manual or any paperwork for the game. Here I sit watching you fix stuff while so many projects are calling my name from the garage. LMAO.
Hey, one of these just popped on our marketplace. They said it needs "adjustments" (i.e., it's broke). Cheap at $5K (according to the current owner), and he said to not lowball him, he can get more for it from some collectors, he just wants it gone. LOL...I really do live in the wrong place for this kind of thing. :(
@@ThePlainswalker13 Around my area we have a bunch of people that think "Old" means "super valuable". We have people trying to sell old Atlas Drill Presses, that are in pieces, and missing parts, for $1000. Even fully functional 1940's Atlas Drill Presses are only worth $500 or so. Been looking on and off again for a couple years for a LeBlond Lathe with quick change gear box. I can drive to the Georgia Area and get them for $2200~$3500 with a 3 Jaw and 4 Jaw chuck, a bunch of tooling, etc...here? Non-Functional they want $10K quite often. Is what it is.
It looks great all clean. BUT!!! Can I just ask, why dont you clean that apron cover and the top semi circle as well? Get rid of all the marks there, black scuffs, rust etc and take off the crappy decayed stickers and print a new rule sheet thing that is on the apron? I would use some cleaner to get the sticky old labels off the side of the back box and give it all a good wipe over as it looks filthy outside as well as under the playfield....
You would do so much better than me, the customer could only WISH that he would have found you instead of me, imagine how much nicer it would have looked. You do really good work!
You're not supporting the channel, you're criticizing the channel. You just asked a question, but it was a comment about how you would have done it better. You're going to continually be disappointed by this channel because we're never going to do it as great as you would do it... My advice would be for you to start your own channel with all of that knowledge you've amassed over the years, and show everybody the right way to do it. On your channel, you'll do a much better job cleaning the machines... The difference between me and you, though, is that i'll never tell you you're doing it wrong. Good luck!
@@LyonsArcade Fair enough. I admit I am OCD. I have Aspergers too and dont filter things. From my point of view, I could see all the good work cleaning the playfield, then the dirt on the apron etc and peeling decayed rule sheet that now stood out like a sore thumb. I can see you are busy and do good work. I just expected you to do the apron etc as well, and got frustrated. Maybe it will be done in another video. And yes I could start my own channel As I have repaired and rebuilt arcade cabinets myself and am currently building my own Virtual Pinball table, full size replica and its interesting. Plenty of other people have covered it though. I also work and restore classic cars as a hobby, working on and repairing trim, reconditioning and cleaning / recolouring the leather. And see first hand the mess things get into with wear and tear. So that is why I often get frustrated that people either dont look after things properly or keep them clean. But if you cant take the critics online when you are putting all this stuff out there its...well. I have said my bit. Goof luck fixing the table.
That is a neat old one. The amount of engineering to score is amazing. They were really smart back then. They used to teach physics and chemistry and high level math in high school. A recent study of highschool students graduating 12th grade in Philadelphia and Baltimore, not a single one of the kids scored higher than a third grade level on the reading, comprehension, or math CAT tests. That is terrifying Not a single student. The requirements for graduation from highschool are 1 remedial math course and 1 remedial science course. I saw the English and Social Studies lesson plans, and I honestly don't know how they are passing the final exams. I know in some cases they ask the teachers to make a " makeup " test of 10 really easy questions and they substitute them for the final exam score. I don't know what is happening to our country 😢
You know it's time to get down when the restoration music kicks in. Well done guys.
"Getting the funk out" 😁

Welcome back Ron. Missed you on the videos. Another fine vid sir.

nice pinball machine awaiting the next part.
👍👍😀😀😀🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Ron! Good to hear from you!
YOU CAN DO IT!!!! looking good!
Just knowing these lovely machines are still out there being looked after restored and enjoyed makes me happy.😊
You've gotta love these old classic machines. Fascinating. Thanks for another great pinball video.
Playfield came out great! Enjoy the 4th guys! Catch you on Friday!
What did the ghost say on July 4th?..red white and booo!! 😆
Playfield looks in great nick! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out (and plays at the end). Thanks.
I found it in the American Legion hall in South St.Louis 32 years ago. My pride and joy!!!
Very nice old Bally E M. …Good job on the fuse holders. …. one simple but really effective fix, just by changing the fuse holders…They don’t always need changing but these ones were past their reliable, use by date.

I was blown away with how clean it came, very cool
Great job so far. Looks like another machine already.
been loving this channel! Came across the Dracula pinball videos and been watching a bunch! This machine is beautiful. As a Halloween/Autumn lover I really dig all the pumpkins.
You can tell its gonna be a great video when you hear that infamous intro no matter what the guys are fixing 👍😉

I use a marker to draw the colors back in
The working music is 80s funky!
Joey,, tin the wires and fuse holders with solder. I like the music.
Super cool pinball restoration video as usual! Thanks guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
There is just something about the artwork on the machines from the 1960s. It like a time capsule. An era frozen and preserved in time. I think it is a true piece of history.
I dig the background music.
WOW That cleaned up very nice! Well done!

Hey Ron!!
Wait the customer said the fuse had broke but left you the mouse nest!

Man, this must've been a rush order. Didn't even get to test play it! :D

Make it nice. Make it snappy. Chop chop.
Very nice video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
Thanks for watching!
The mouse nest looks like a chewed up schematic. Yum
Hi Ron was wondering if you got any of my emails on the Chicago coin shuffle bowler. Trying to restore it I got it close to being ready. Now I have a problem with the pins resetting after first puck is thrown it does almost every time. Thank you.
I got your emails several weeks ago and replied haven’t had any since then

That's a good question, I've never seen it yellow but I haven't really seen any 15 years after I did the touchup though, so it might!
@@LyonsArcade Thanks for the quick response. What is your clear procedure...couple light coats over the repaired area then let dry? Would like to see that included in one of your videos. Thanks again, Ed.
Great job again... two words,Hepa Vacuum. That hanta virus is no joke, peace
Hi from Brooklyn ny
This has to be Neil Young's favorite machine.
Groan 🙄
Hopefully that mouse nest wasnt formerally a manual or any paperwork for the game.

Fun post! But I have to say, everyone in that art must of gone to the same hair dresser! :-P

Since I hate cleaning my vote is easy I have no patience for cleaning a playing field
Any other votes lol
Plater style score motor a Gottlieb mainstay before bally and Williams decided to be difficult.
The beats' about ta drop and that broke machines' about ta get fixed! 10:05
So which of you gets stuck doing the editing of these videos?
I wonder if that "mouse house" used to be the manual for that machine!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wax it baby!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO Looks awesome too. 😎
Joe... What happened to your voice??? 😂😂😂
It's broke

Didn't Joe leave you a note???
I don't think I've seen a harvest before, looks like a fun one. What's the future of a.r.t.? Will it be coming back?
Yes it will be coming back soon

Biff you know i want two coats of wax on that playfield!
Do a video on the Super Mario Bros pinball machine I see there 0:01
How can you tell when a pinball game has "Carryover Features"? I don't know how to tell what are carryover features
I wonder how many people would have fumigated the bottom cabinet with chlorine dioxide?
How come the mice are always gone? I'd better go look inside my machine.
Why are there no mushroom here, at 00:03:59?
Vintage
Joe why does your voice sound different?!
Donnie is fixing it...or so he told me..🙄😁
eau de Mouse.
Yodelayheehoo
Yodelayheehoo!!
I hate that squirrely wub-dub music. Everybody uses it and for me it's like nails on a chalkboard
