Got a chance to fix a glaring eyesore on the Mousin' Around I brought home from Allentown. The pop bumper skirts were literally disintegrating...or, more fitting, looked like they were chewed up by mice (the ultimate mod for MA?).

I rebuilt all three; new skirts, bodies, sockets and sleeves. And I put in colour matched Comet Pinball pop bumper rings to boot. The game still needs a complete teardown sometime in the future, but the chewed skirts had to go ASAP.

After a year I realized the biggest thing I should be doing with my machines much more often than I have been.

Keeping them clean.

I cleaned the glass on Bobby Orr and then wiped down the playfield, getting a fair bit of dust and dirt with very little effort. My wax has arrived so I'll give it another couple of passes and then try waxing for the first time.

I packed and wrapped (what I thought was a grail pin) with meticulous care.
It's off to British Columbia in the near future. Thank you to everyone involved.

I can't name names or thank specific individuals; but I know it is a grail to the new owner.
