1963 Williams Skill Pool

[Special When Lit]

Bought this in 2011 along with 3/4 of a Williams Friendship 7 (if anyone has a cab & mech board, let me know).
Never plugged it in, put it straight in the shed intending it to be 'next on the list'. Fast forward 8 years & I've finally got around to getting it back out.
It's had quite a few plays, but is in really good condition. Backglass (perspex) is 9.5/10, playfield 9/10. One bumper cap is missing the cab has been repainted & the knob from the ball lifter is missing.
Had a start on the backbox today. Cleaned & adjusted all the switches, stripped & cleaned the replay & match steppers as both were really gummed up with old grease. Started on the score reels, & apart from being dirty they looked like they'd never been touched since 1963.
More updates when I get chance.

 

[Special When Lit]

Got a bit more done to the Skill Pool today. Finished the backbox, all bulb holders cleaned, backglass cleaned & re-assembled.
After that I got started on the mech board. Everything looked good, apart from the usual 3 core cable spliced onto the 50 year old original power cord & dirt everywhere. Took everything off & gave thewood a good clean, started to build it back up & realised I'd put the relay labels on upside down. Doh.
Rectified that & started cleaning& adjusting all the switches. Going to put a proper 3 core power lead on & earth everything when I get around to going to Wilco's & buying some cable. Then just got to clean & adjust all the switched on the Gottlieb style score motor & it'll be done.
