A few problems with the Harlem Globetrotters

I have done an initial check of the Harlem Globetrotters. It is in pretty poor shape:

The box itself looks to have typical old-wood problem, corners are splintering - but at least it seem solid

The electronics don't work at all. When it is turned on a few lights come on and thats it, no sound, no movement, no nothing.

The playfield is also in pretty poor shape - in addition to the missing graphics in heavy-wear areas there are some more serious issues:

This shows a representative piece of the playfield, much of the paint/graphics are cracked on the wood.

The plastic isn't much better:

The edges are scalloped, cracks around the mounting bolts and even warped sagging pieces - did it sit in the sun or under a heat lamp?


Other problems are around the bumpers, missing and bent ones are in several places:

This one is a bit tough to see but the support pin in the center is bent inward and pushing on the plastic

Also, almost every single slot/hole in the table has a worn out spot where the ball went - this table has seen a LOT of use!


On the positive side, the backglass is in great shape!

it is virtually perfect with only the beginning of paint coming off in the corners around the scoring boxes.

So this one is going to be a lot of work.....
