[QUOTE="pinbot-76, post: 73415, member: 839"] Congrats on your first pin! I noticed you posted on pinside, which is a also great resource. I bought my first pin about a year ago and now have 3... and pinside has been extremely helpful since none of my games are in pristine condition. My advice would be to not kill yourself trying to get this game fully restored. Play it and have fun, but also use it to learn how to perform some basic repairs. CPR makes repro playfields but it will cost more than you paid for the pin. It takes a while to learn about all the repairs you'll eventually want to do but it's a fun hobby, so enjoy it and take your time. I drop all kinds of money at Pinball Life since I'm always wanting to tweak this that & the other. Changing color schemes of pop bumpers, flippers, rubber, LEDs. I also had to invest a bit of money since I'm not a big tool guy and needed a bunch of random things (Novus, soldering iron, socket set) [/QUOTE]
