Small collection here: dw, lw3, ts, sm and tf. And not all even in the same house as ran out of space. Building outside not complete. But should be able to house 12 comfortably when ready. Just wont ever have the cash to afford 12. Nevermind.

Possibly. Bought from Jonathan off forum
Yeah think thats it. If it is I LED'd it.

Good work! Don't think stern could of done a better job themselves. You forgot to put leds in the coin reject buttons though
. The volume control on the front of the cabinet isn't standard either is it?
Volume control must have been Jonathan. I fitted the speaker lights, half moons, keyless lock, leds but not the volume control. I know 6 owners of that machine now .

He said he didn't know what the button was for and it was like this when he got it. Somebody brought it over from Italy by the looks of it? I usually have loads of work to do on machines, but this one really looks like i don't have to touch it. You've done me out of a hobby!Volume control must have been Jonathan. I fitted the speaker lights, half moons, keyless lock, leds but not the volume control. I know 6 owners of that machine now
.Nice work though. She will be happy i don't have to spread the tools across the living room floor.
I guess I never noticed the volume control . I think Tobin brought it over.

Not even Jonathan knew what it was for. Nobody bothered to press it, it seemsI guess I never noticed the volume control
I also owned that IM for a while. Took it to the last pinballparty at Daventry. More info on the volume switch here:

Can't believe I didn't notice it was fitted, I'd have removed and kept it had I known

Awesome! I love abit of background on machines.
Didn't I pick this up from London?
Crikey, a few owners....
Yep, from Guy ( @JustLikeMe ? ) I believe. I've often thought it would be great if all machines came with a history of owners. I imagine some machines have had 10's of owners and been to all corners of the country ( mainly in Martins van ) as well as Europe.
Pop a card inside with any details you know about it. Was my intention, but didn't start it

I like how the older chipset in the original IM displays the old Stern logo, and the newer VE has the new 'flipper' version.

Yeah i always like to know alittle history of the machine. Would be nice to have abit of a log. So there's about 5 or 6 guys who's owned it so far? It's nice it's had a healthy forum ownership. Usually means it's been well looked after. Always abit weary when it's had a lot of owners with the amount of doorways it's been crammed through, cabinet is very good though. You guys must of been very careful.
That's right. Went to meet a guy called Guy. He wasn't there... it was Guy's Dad.
How could I forget!
Cracking line up of unusual machines there John. Just glad I have the chance to play them.
Have you beat the high score I put on Monte Carlo yet ?

After several years of hunting and refurbishment, now got my back wall eight machine Gottlieb Sys80B line up. Quite happy with it too. Only Robowar missing awaiting a rebuild. Many thanks to @replicas for helping put this together and for the neon.
You inspired me to post pic of some of my Gottliebs. This row is 1950 - 1954. They all have multiple ways to win - some games have 5 different ways to win so plenty of strategy, and not easy. I think 1950 - 1955 was a golden age for pinball . Some of the best em's ever made. Shame I am in the minority though! Nice change of pace after a kicking on TWD! Although Lovely Lucy always beats me up as it is a bit of a gobble hole nightmare

Thanks!Stunning !
Here is pic lit up.
It is a very mellow room - like stepping back into another era - the 50's. First time I ever played a 50's woodrail was only a few years ago but I liked them

There are another 6 in the room , 1954 - 1957.
Bit of a mess as was fixing stuff so will get pic another day!
Look great Mr Replay.... would love to see them..
Beautiful line up dude 
Always fancied owner a wood rail at some point but I don't know much about them in terms of what's good or bad. I guess you had to import all of those from the States?
