New EM Project.

[Coitusmysterioso]

Picked this up Monday night. It’s a 1963 Chicago Coins Fire Cracker.

Traded my old arcade with 60in1 for it. Pretty sure the other guy got the better deal in the trade but I didn’t want the arcade and did want an older EM. This one definitely needs some TLC as the steppers are very gummed up but otherwise everything seems to work. The back glass is fantastic and the playfield is ok only requiring some touch-ups.

This will be my first full restore. I was a little stressed out by it the first night when I got home but now Im actually looking forward to taking my time, tackling one area at a time cleaning/adjusting and bringing it back to life.

Did you get a schematic with it? I have a few Chicago Coin parts in stock if you find you need any.

I owned that game about 2 weeks ago... just had/have a lot of things on the go . I am curious , as I had sold Randy a few years ago a triple strike is that who you got the TS from?

Thanks I've got a schematic on order and I'm sure I will need something. I will keep you in mind.

I should have mentioned that I don't have any yellow score reels, just the white ones.

I can't be very fussy because since my machine already has yellow, white and paper covered score reels LOL.
