Hi

Got a Playboy machine with a group of arcades I picked up a while back. Its in a very poor state, looks like its been sat in a damp garage for a couple of decades.
So before it gets carted off I thought I would offer it up here in case anyone could do something with it.
Dont think its good enough to be a parts machine but perhaps a circuit board or 2 could be saved. Might make a base for a virtual pin if someone was suitably inclined.

The good:
It still stands on its own 4 legs
It is a solid cabinet
A few GI bulbs still work
Some of the plastics might be salvageable
erm......

The bad:
rust, rust, rust
playfield planking,
severe playfield peeling,
battery acid damage,
everything seized,
backglass peeling,
white sap everywhere
etc,
etc


Price is a suitable donation to Bluebell Wood Childrens Hospice, Sheffield.

Before any price police get on the case, this is clearly for charity and the price is clearly an acceptable donation to that charity
 
pic added. I can get one of the backglass over the weekend. backglass has lots of lifted paint, looks like heat damage from the bulbs, and some of that paint has come off.
 
Got some more pics today, the machine is complete but playfield fittings have been removed and are in a box. the wiring is all there but not attached to the underside of the playfield. I would say the harness wiring is probably just fine. The electronics have board rot as you would expect.
