I thought I better put a placeholder in for my restore and for feedback, suggestions and help: https://www.aussiearcade.com/showthread.php/91459-My-first-and-new-pinball-in-da-house This is an interesting machine: One of only three 4-player Williams games to have the 2nd player located in the lower left corner of the backglass and the 3rd player in the upper right. Design by: Norm Clark Art by: Jerry Kelley Notes: 'A-Go-Go' was the first machine to use a captive ball spinner, invented by Norm Clark. During the production run, the coin door was changed from the large single-slot to a smaller multiple slot and the drop-down cabinet was eliminated. We do not know how many games were produced in each cabinet style. Reportedly, the January 1967 issue of the German trade magazine Münzautomat stated that the standard cabinet games were Later Production games and were manufactured due to a high demand in Germany. I have the earlier version with the single coin slot and the drop down cabinet. To put it bluntly, the paintwork is completely rat shit. But the timber itself is in fantastic condition so a repaint is on the way. I'll trace the existing and mask/paint which I'm not too bad at. See my minipin as an example: https://www.aussiearcade.com/showthread.php/42304-Minipin?highlight=minipin My big question is how do I match the colours when they're so faded? Of course there is no key for the 2 locks on it so I cannot currently open it up. I'm assuming I'll have to drill these out then replace? Can you get original replacements for them? Backglass is also very faded and in the centre a fair bit has come away. I'll have to replace this at some stage. Can I treat with anything to stop it degrading anymore in the meantime? Playfield, is to my untrained eye surprisingly good although one of the roll-overs? looks like it's lifted. Again not surprising for a 52 year old game thats been sitting idle for many years. I can take a closer look once I can get the glass off. The glass is filthy. Unfortunately some clown cut the harness to the back-box, easily repaired but I'm not going near any of the electrics until way further down the restore path. I've already sourced schematics for it so that's a start. Coin door is rusty in places. Do I replace or restore. I'd prefer to restore if feasible. Legs are in shocking condition, so I think they'll need to be replaced =( There's also a ball in the bottom shute Cheers, Brad
