Well I finally did it.
Decided to try my hand at EM.
I picked the 2 machine for a good price so why not try.
Playfield is really dirty no real wear that i can see but wait till i clean it pain not really cracked.
Cabinet needs work I will make a stensil of the side art and repaint it.
I wiill strip the playfield clean it thinking maybe clear coat it not sure yet not sure if it is done on EM but will look into it.

Good catch !

I had contacted that seller a few weeks ago and he had indicated
that his best offer to date at the time for these two machines
as-is was ... $500...

I told him that this was *way over* the actual value of the machines
in their current conditions, and that I was no longer interested in
them at that price, but I wanted to know who was his buyer so that I too
could sell my project machines at that price
Unfortunately I never heard back
No comments !

Ethous, glad you got the games, I am sure they were way under $500.
Good luck restoring the Doodle Bug (I had one of these many years ago,
I fixed, shopped and sold it at the time for less than $300 delivered.
Prices have come up a bit since then, even for EMs).
The doodle bug thing in the middle of the playfield is actually quite fun.

I unfortunately have no schematics for that game now.

Cheers,

Hell I would never paid 500$ lets say really good deal if you know me you have a good ideas.
Once you tell him what he had was allot of work he crumbled.

So what happened to the box for that Superstars thing, water damage? Did you get the story Ethous?

Craig

I had asked him that said there was no water damage just allot of scrapes and cracks in it.
He just gutted the cab and tossed it in the garbage.
But had all the other parts except the plunger the one real thing i need.
But he has had the machine for 20 or so years now.
He said he got them from regent back in the day.
He is the second owner they have been stored in the garage for 16 years when it stopped working he just placed them there.
Wanted to work on them but never understood or had the time.
Tell you one thing thank god for bounty sheets because that’s the best way to get that humidity smell out.

You mean Bouncy I believe... I have tried Febreeze... works well. Helps to sand the inside of the cab a bit to get the crap out of course.
