| BLONDIE |  | Chicago Coin (USA) | In storage, waiting for restoration | Never | My first and only woodrail in my collection and my second EM. Really dirty and needs lots of cleaning. Some missing parts need to be replaced but it should clean up nice. Cabinet has been refinished with a dark shellac or stain. Will need to be redone. Backglass in decent shape with limited flaking and missing paint. |

|
| DIAMOND LADY | | Gottlieb (USA) | In storage, waiting for restoration | Never | Needs to be cleaned, polished and new rubber rings installed. MPU has lots of battery acid damage. Got it cheap but non-working. Found a NOS System 80B CPU board with no acid damage. Nearly finished with restoration. Should be playable any day now. |
|
|
| HEARTS SPADES | | Allied (USA) | In storage, waiting for restoration | Never | Another cocktail pinball machine. Got it for a good price. Needs lots of work to restore but should clean up nice. Project for next summer. Will use some parts from water damaged Take Five to fix this one as well. A previous owner had tried to fix it but only made a mess of things that will need to be fixed. |

| LITTLE JOE | | Bally (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Was my first EM game. Just got it running again recently after it being dead for nearly a year. Needs some paint touch up but is otherwise in decent shape. Backglass is faded and has some flaking. Fun game to play. |

|
| MATA HARI | | Bally (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Had been in storage for a while before I got it. Tore it apart and rebuilt it in a week and got it working again. New universal Bally MPU replaced the battery acid damaged MPU board. Rebuilt the power supply board and replaced headers and pins. Few other minor fixes needed. Playfield is pretty good but does have some spots that could use a little touch up paint. Backglass only has a few scratches and is in pretty good shape. My favorite machine in my collection. Will touchup playfield soon. Now it is working near 100%. |

|
| SILVERBALL MANIA | | Bally (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | The machine that started my collection. Playfield showing it's age but not too bad where the mylar is covering. Backglass is starting to have major issues though. On list waiting on reproduction playfield from CPR. Needs new backglass and new plastics as well. Will restore to like new condition. Plan to keep this one in my collection. |

|
| SPACE ODYSSEY | | Williams (USA) | Set up, needs some work | Never | Awaiting restoration. Looking for manual and schematics. Needs a good cleaning and new rubber rings. Does not appear to be much wrong with it. Some playfield paint loss and previous touchups. Backglass in great shape. One broken plastic on upper left corner. |

| STRANGE SCIENCE | | Bally (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Playfield and backglass is very good shape. Bought it from a guy that said it had quit working on him before he put it into storage. After checking it all out, I found and replaced a bad coil, diode, transistor, and some fuses. Working pretty good now. Was at the 2010 Texas Pinball Festival and after a few early issues, it worked great once they had been worked out. Needs to be cleaned again but is working nearly 100% now. |

| SUPERSONIC | | Bally (USA) | Parts machine | Never | The cabinet had been repainted with spray paint. Playfield is badly worn and has areas of delaminated wood fiber around the kickout hole and in the shooter lane. Parts machine. Good backglass has been sold already. Sold the lower cabinet and head as well. Only have the boards and the playfield for parts. |

|
| SUPERSONIC | | Bally (USA) | In storage, waiting for restoration | Never | The cabinet could use some touch up paint. The playfield is badly worn but I am thinking of getting a full overlay or repainting the playfield with a airbrush and using water slide decals for the lettering. Good backglass. Was playable but had battery acid damge on MPU and burnt power headers. Very flakey until that is fixed. Played pretty good but looks rough. |

|
| SUPERSONIC | | Bally (USA) | Parts machine | Never | Parts playfield. Using as parts donor for all of my early Bally machines. Got it cheap. Had a bad paint touch up attempt and is covered in Mylar. Will use it to practice with air brush before starting to repaint my existing Supersonic playfield. |

|
| TAKE FIVE | | Allied (USA) | Parts machine | Never | Machine had gotten rained on several times when the seller had it at another swap meet. Got it cheap but found that it was totally waterlogged and moldy. Stripped machine for parts. Water staining on upper right playfield corner. |
|
|
| TAKE FIVE | | Allied (USA) | Set up, needs some work | Never | Currently being restored. Using parts from water damaged Take Five to make one working machine. Will have it back together in a few days. Got it cheap. Had been in storage for years. Lots of corrosion and white mold from damp storage. Looking pretty good now. Had the wrong plastics on it. Roy Clark and Take Five have the same layout but different artwork. Using plastics from water damaged Take Five. |

|
| X'S & O'S | | Bally (USA) | In storage, working | Never | Repair restoration nearly complete. I completely rebuilt all 3 flippers with all new parts. It had been sitting for 4 years since the upper flipper coil failed and the repair guy made a mess of the lower left and upper right flipper then wanted more then the previous owner wished to pay. Playfield is not perfect but it will be fun to play. Some wear around the plexi insert and in both top ball loops. |
