AL'S GARAGE BAND GOES ON A WORLD TOUR Alvin G. (USA)Set up, plays!NeverMy first DMD pin. It has been repaired and cleaned up. It had some bugs to work out like a dead spinner motor and a couple dead or flakey light sockets and switches. It had a really weak right flipper that was also repaired. I just acquired a NOS playfield to swap with someday.
BIG GUNS Williams (USA)Set up, plays!NeverIn really good shape. Plays very well. Lots of fun to play. Lower two 7-segment displays have outgassed. Need to order replacement display module. Probably PinScore.  
BLONDIE Chicago Coin (USA)In storage, waiting for restorationNeverMy first 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. Playfield has badly crackled and yellowed varnish that will need to be removed. Playfield paint under the varnish is nice.
CITY SLICKER Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverLow production game. Only 300 made. Fun and hard to find game. The only video currently of this game being played was uploaded to Youtube by me.
DIAMOND LADY Gottlieb (USA)Set up, needs some workNeverRepair and restoration in progress. Need to flatten plastics, polish up rusted metal parts and fix power supply issue. Old MPU had bad acid damage, replaced with NOS MPU. Need to finish putting it back together now.
ESCAPE FROM THE LOST WORLD Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverGood backglass, some wear on playfield. Found replacement ramps that were not cracked up as bad as the originals. Fixed GI issues and a few other minor issues found when shopping it out. Fun game that is not very common. Trying to find the extra long rear legs as it came with the standard 28-1/2" legs on both the front and back.  
GALAXY Stern (USA)In storage, waiting for restorationNeverProject machine. Needs lots of work. Backglass in really good shape and cabinet paint in decent shape for it's age. Play field has heavy wear so I will be looking for another one in better shape. On waiting list of pins to fix and restore but it will be a while.  
HEARTS SPADES Allied (USA)In storage, waiting for restorationNeverAnother cocktail pinball machine. I got it for a good price. It needs lots of work to restore but should clean up nice. It is on the list of pins to repair/restore but will be a while. Will use some parts from water damaged Take Five to fix this one as well.
HOT HAND Stern (USA)In storage, waiting for restorationNeverIn decent condition. Some small pin points of flaking on the backglass. Some electronic repair needed to get it working. Has been a few years since it last worked. On my to-do project list for sometime before the Texas Pinball Festival in March.  
LITTLE JOE Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverWas my first EM game. Needs some paint touch up but is otherwise in decent shape. Backglass is faded and has some flaking. Fun game to play.
MARS GOD OF WAR Gottlieb (USA)In storage, waiting for restorationNeverWill need a fair bit of work but should be able to bring it back from the dead. Missing original inner backglass. Most of the coils had locked on and will need to be replaced after fixing the actual problem that caused everything to lock on. Outer backglass is flaking and a replacement will also probably be needed.
MATA HARI Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverHad 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%.
MATA HARI Bally (USA)In storage, waiting for restorationNeverPicked up at a garage sale recently. Battery acid damage to the MPU, burnt power connectors, atleast one coil has melted the coil sleeve. When I started cleaning the playfield it started loosing paint like crazy so I stopped for now. Will revisit this project later.  
SILVERBALL MANIA Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverThe 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. Already picked up a reproduction backglass from CPR. It also needs new plastics as well. Will restore to like new condition. Plan to keep this one in my collection.
SILVERBALL MANIA Bally (USA)In storage, waiting for restorationNeverCurrently non-working but plan to restore. In decent shape and should be repairable. Will probably trade it with a friend for another pin once it is repaired.
SPACE INVADERS Bally (USA)Set up, needs some workNeverPicked up at auction on 12/11/2011. Good backglasses, worn playfield. Upper right flipper coil was missing. Cleaned and waxed the playfield and it looks much better. Will look for a better playfield to swap to. About half a dozen lights are still not working after changing all bulbs. Bad or dirty light sockets need to be fixed.  
SPACE ODYSSEY Williams (USA)Set up, plays!NeverCurrently it is working but has developed a issue where the kickers fire several times after the ball is launched. Still need to track down the souce of this issue. Some playfield paint loss and previous touchups. Will someday do some playfield toucheds. Backglass in good shape. One broken plastic on upper left corner. May buy reproduction plastics from CPR.
STARS Exhibit (USA)In storage, waiting for restorationNeverPre-flipper woodrail. Over 70 years old. Needs all parts on top of playfield replaced. All bumpers are either broken, missing or beyond hope of repair. May have to retrofit with more modern replacement parts to get it working. Cabinet had beem painted orange. Once working, I will strip and repaint the cabinet as close as I can to factory colors and pattern. Backglass has some fading and flaking. Not bad considering it was built before WW2.  
STRANGE SCIENCE Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverPlayfield 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 and 2011 Texas Pinball Festival.
SUPERSONIC Bally (USA)In storage, waiting for restorationNeverThe cabinet could use some touch up paint. The playfield is badly worn but I found a good condition playfield to do a playfield swap with once it is touched up and clear coated. Good backglass with small missing spot where lock bar hits glass. 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.
TAKE FIVE Allied (USA)In storage, waiting for restorationNeverCurrently being restored. Using parts from water damaged Take Five to make one working machine. I 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 that is correct.
TORPEDO ALLEY Data East (USA)Set up, needs some workNeverJust picked this pin up. Non-working project machine. Playfield has some wear but nothing too major. Some broken plastics and yellowed plastics. Needs new drop target, spinner and pop bumper cab decals. Bad PIA chip and burnt connector need to be fixed.  
X'S AND O'S Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverRepair and restoration completed. 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 flippers and then wanted more money than the previous owner wished to pay. Playfield is not perfect. Some wear around the playfield inserts and in both top ball loops. Fun pin to play with cool sounds. Was at the 2011 Texas Pinball Festival.
