Said I'd throw up a thread for some pictures of this.

It really is an amazing machine, cant stop playing it.
No issues with it at all except some minor repairs that are needed and a good cleaning. All only cosmetic

I looked under the playfield to find some band new plastics, new rubbers and the keyring and some stickers aswell

Anyway, take a look

One of the worse sections of wear that will need some repair

Very happy with it overall, hopefully next week I'll get some time to give it a proper clean and order some new bulbs because a lot of them are out and I want to put a led kit into it

I proper clean will make a massive difference!
Get rid of that wing nut too!

Polish your balls :pac::pac::pac:

That looks absolutely gorgeous, I'm well jelly!

Jack burton · 24-06-2014 04:28PM

That rusty ball is actually bolted down to the playfield, uses a newtons cradle contraption to move the ball behind it

Haaa brilliant, It looks great. I'd love to get one.
How much did that batboy set ya back..looks in good nick man, well done

Jack burton · 24-06-2014 08:08PM

Cost me €1300, quite a chunk of change indeed!

But I paid for this with all my "naked money". Money which I receive for being naked in front of hen parties. I just put my money everytime from that into a separate fund and so this didnt seem so bad.

I have a tasteful nude picture of me with women draped over me if anyone would like to see?

I dont want to put a picture up yet, just incase the ban hammer might swing but I assume its sans genitalia

You could post that gif a million times and it still wouldn't be enough.

Jack Burton - you finance your retro purchases via hen party debauchery?

This is too brilliant for words. :pac:

Jack burton · 24-06-2014 09:06PM

I thought this was all common knowledge?

But yeah I get paid €100 a hour to be a nude model for hen parties, its only a hour at a time though and might be a few weeks apart, or could be 3 in a day really varies a lot. But after a few months its nice to be able to put all the money into a big retro splurge

Are you going on record here by telling us you're a stripper?

unky chop chop · 24-06-2014 09:09PM

Good Christ this gets better.
So you've financed this pinball by whoring yourself out to drunk hens??
Good god man you are a king amongst men.
Here are the rest of us common folk scrimping,scrounging,agonisingly selling our prized possessions on eBay to make way for a new purchase and you just get oiled up to be jaysus with your flute out and get a pinball machine for your troubles.

Jack burton · 24-06-2014 09:12PM

Right here's the proof, this one was from last Saturday

Myrddin · 24-06-2014 09:15PM

Good jaysis....a king among men

Jack burton · 24-06-2014 09:17PM

I was full sure everyone already knew I do this....but yeah....is this my new thing then?

24-06-2014 09:20PM

Good man Jack.
Will strip for pinball........ Ha ha ha

I think there's some nutsack in that pic

o1s1n · 24-06-2014 09:47PM

From pinball to manball in 13 posts.

I don't even...

Thread of the year, hands down

TechnoFreek · 24-06-2014 10:11PM

So Jack. What do the hens do while you're bollock naked?

Jack burton · 24-06-2014 10:19PM

They draw me.....like a French girl!

Pinball looks great, pick up some autosol from a motor factors and polish anything metal with it, nothing like novus for the playfield

Jack burton · 24-06-2014 10:31PM

I was actually looking for something for the metal so thanks a lot. Going to see if I can get some novus 2 tomorrow before work in the few car shops around

CathalDublin · 24-06-2014 10:38PM

I used autosol on everything which was bare metal in mine and it came up amazing and still looks like new almost 2 years on, consider my machine is from 1989/1990 and was lying up at least 10-15 years so the metal was really badly tarnished, I'll see if I've comparison pics

TechnoFreek · 24-06-2014 10:39PM

Can Novus be picked up in autoshops?

CathalDublin · 25-06-2014 06:09AM

I got mine on amazon

STG.Otaku · 25-06-2014 07:01AM

I got mine on eBay. There is a great tutorial about Novus and pinball repair on YouTube.

You could also buy a metal tumbler to restore all the metal parts and the crusty pinball for about 3/4 of an hours work! (About €70)

CathalDublin · 25-06-2014 07:34AM

Here's the difference it made on the rails on my machine, see the right hand side rail.
before

Obviously after

murphyebass · 25-06-2014 01:21PM

First off. Thats a savage pinball machine. Looks class after the clean up in particular. Very jealous.

The thread has taken a pretty strange turn though with all this talk of stripping.

Kinda makes me happy I've never joined ye at one of your beer nights.

Brings a whole new meaning to the part in brackets "(AKA the night of the scandalously drunk retro geeks)".

What exactly do you get up to. Actually dont answer that. :eek: :pac:

Myrddin · 25-06-2014 01:43PM

So what actually is the Theater of Magic? The pinball machine, or the 'drawing room'?
