Finally got this open.... if not on legs
This HMM has some special "proto" features which I will cover in my repair thread.
But here she is! Big topper and big hair intact!!!

That doesn't count. Planks of wood aren't machines. BOOO! Get out of here with your wall art.
Just kidding. Those are cool.
Since we're going to bend the rules a little, here is my latest machine. I've been putting off this buy for a while because I know how expensive these machines can be. As I found out, they aren't so expensive when you buy out the coffee inventory of a closing cafe. I got the machine, grinder, coffee and tea inventory, syrups, chocolates, stands, and all the steam pots and accessories. So it is now official, when the Pinballorama opens, I'll have espresso.

It might seem crazy if I was putting these in my house to play, but I'm not, so it isn't crazy. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
My only problem right now is finding the time to fix the ones I need to fix. I wish I had a little more space in my workshop - like a clean paint area and a sanding and making a huge mess area. My kitchen has all my espresso machine stuff now because all that needs to be cleaned out. I have another space I can work on that but of course it's fulled with pinball storage. Sigh.
I keep telling myself how much room I'll have once the arcade opens. At first it was kind of funny, now I just want this stuff out of the house.

Yup. That's the plan anyway. Pinball and an espresso cafe (coffee, drinks, snacks). No alcohol. Maybe real food later. I might throw in a video machine or two.
Here's the website for it. www.pinballorama.com
I also just posted a podcast thing from last week where I was talking about it.

Added a beautiful GTB Abra Ca Dabra. A few small adjustments to the AX relays and some switch adjustments and the thing plays like a dream. The coin door looked like it got in a fight with a crowbar--I was able to replace it with a nicer shell I scored from an EM collector in Aurora. When changing out the door, $1.75 worth of quarters spilled out of the beat up one! Bonus! I've ordered replacement plastics for the dead posts by the flippers which will complete the package. Game was previously owned by Luch. Happy to have this one. Great art, great player.
