Another EM review vid - 1977 Team One AAB

Just finished up another YouTube vid. This is not my machine but it is in my care. One thing that surprised me about this machine is the multiple ways to score extra balls and some of the "deeper" rules required to get them (well... deeper by EM standards :lol: ) Take a look and leave a co...

You could eat off that Jeremy. :)

I use Novus 2 followed by Novus 1 and then Blitz Wax.
Unless the paint is already lifting off the playfield you will be okay using Novus.
Thanks Tom 8-)

Re: Playfield cleaning question

Novus 2 and a clean rag plus some good elbow grease is what I use. I agree 100% 8-) Here are some photos from my 1969 Williams Post Time - this thing was FILTHY! I think the dirt protected the artwork in this case. I only used Novus 2 for cleaning then wax after that. I love these kind of photos ht...

Re: What pin projects have you been or are going to work on?

Well, it didn't catch fire :lol: BUT... I am having some issues I need to work through and the schematics aren't helping me because they identify specific wire colors, and since this was made in 1959, the only wire colors I can see are varying shades of brown (instead of white or yellow)..... Gonna...

Re: What pin projects have you been or are going to work on?

As far as my projects, I am plugging in the ball bowler tonight for the first time, and it is going to go really well, or catch on fire :lol: . I am hoping for the former and not the latter. 60 pins all had to reworked by hand (jones plugs cut).... I labeled all of them before transport and the fab...

Re: What pin projects have you been or are going to work on?

Cool! Sounds like you have some interesting projects in the works.

Just wondering, what are the current issues with your STTNG? I have enjoyed playing that pin but have never taken the opportunity to purchase one (I have worked on one though).

Re: What pin projects have you been or are going to work on?

After taking off spring, summer, & most of this fall from any pinball/game room work, things are really stacking up :lol: This winter will be all EM work. 2 wedge heads (Volley & Team One) that just need a going over (almost done with those). Next up is a full shop job on a EM Joker Poker. T...
