In Progress £30 Bally X’s & O’s

[8bit-1up]

So this is likely to be the cheapest pinball machine I’ll ever buy at £30 paid.


My aim:
1.Restore it on a budget
2.Get it fully working
3.Put it in the arcade in Bristol

Approximately £30 more than what I paid for the restore I've currently got on the go.

Good luck!

So when I bought the pin it was missing the backglass lockbar and glass. The backglass is the part I was the most worried about finding as CPR doesn’t make replacements and I couldn’t find any used ones for sale. After checking the COOS website I could see he has the backglass available for £280 plus delivery.


Being a complete cheapskate I decided to make a wanted advertisement and wait for a cheap used one to become available. After weeks of no responses I stumbled across one when I visited petebaur’s house to value his pinball collection. He had a small selection of backglasses hidden behind Vector.

I couldn’t believe my luck! Jackpot! Pete seen my eyes light up with excitement and said I could have it for free! My day couldn’t get any better.

Time to get out the triple thick and stop anymore of the artwork from flaking off.



Still needs a bit of work but at least I’ve stopped the flaking
