My father-in-law said that he if is going to come to the basement when it is done, he wants a pinball machine. We found this EM Williams Aztec pin from 1976 on Craigslist and got it for the low price of $250. It needs a few things that I will attempt to figure out but who knows... It does play and is a lot of fun. The noises this thing makes are a riot! They are very gratifying mechanical noises! He is currently storing it in his basement and it may never leave there! Which is totally OK since it is his machine! I'll be thrilled to have it on display in our basement though if it makes it over here.
http://imgur.com/a/Qr5itI've played a couple of times and managed a high score in the 700k range and my father-in-law has rolled over the score counter back to 0 since they don't go past 999,990 points. When I played it I felt like the right flipper was weaker than the left. Sometimes the lights on the back glass cut in and out and my FIL thinks there may be some sequencing issues. The machine is set to free play...but probably by it being wired as such to the start button, but it starts a 2 player game every time. If anyone has any thoughts on where to begin with repairs let me know!
