See below for some pictures.

I ran through all of the diagnostics.  There are alot of switches that are dead on this machine, and many bulbs, a couple frickin impossible to get to.  I have a few flashers #89 bulbs that I replaced, and it flashed once or twice and then my new bulbs died.  Happened 3 times in a row.  It must be the sockets.  The bulbs i pulled out had carbon all over them...hmm.  Any thoughts on this?

Some switches just needed adjusting, but I would say a good 8 switches are completely dead, and about 3-4 are intermittent or about to die.  

The knocker isn't working (haven't looked into this yet) and the shaker motor was disconnected.  I reconnected it and it seems to work, although I'm not sure what it is supposed to be like when it's working properly.  Anyone have any thoughts?  I just get a vibrating machine rather intermittently, like a rev up and back down type of thing at certain points in the game...is this correct?  Hard to explain, maybe I can get a video of it and post.

There's a few plastics that I can see are broken.  The right slingshot is broken.  There's a crack on one of the plastics by the right ramp.  Otherwise, I didn't see much else that would affect game play.  There's that little bit of what appears to be wear over the eyes fo the crypt keeper down by the flippers, but funny thing, when I run my hand over that area, it doesn't feel like anything is worn at all.  It almost feels like that's how it's painted.  The flashers for his eyes, neither work, and I think both sockets are dead.  I got one flash out of a new bulb and that was it, and it fried my new bulbs each time, as they wouldn't work in a working socket.

The flipper EOS switches are about to die.  The 3-bank targets need replacing, there's 2 different kinds in my machine instead of them being uniform.  Also one of them doesn't like to stay up, probably needs replacing or a new spring or somethin.  There's some type of black crap on 2 spots on the backglass.  I think it can be scrubbed off, but I have no idea what the hell that is.  Maybe in one of the pics you can see it if you zoom in, top right and lower right corner areas...

The display ROM says 3.01 and it says there's a German CPU of 1.1 installed.  Not sure if this is the latest or not...

Overall, this machine just appears to have never been taken care of.  After a good cleaning, getting off what looks to me like corrosion on some metal parts (not a good sign at all) on the playfield, and waxing it up, I would think it'll look decent.  I'll probably get a blank coin door for it for now, but leave the lockbar and side rails alone.  I like to have my stuff looking nice, but just don't have the funds to throw at cosmetic stuff.  Although, I would like ot fix the head and door handle on the front.
