I bought this Bally Silverball Mania pinball machine (Made 1980) two days ago.
It was listed as non working.
It stood in a corner of a garage and has probably not been working for several years.
All the rubber bands has dried out with cracks in them, and one flipper rubber had snapped off and was just laying there semi-attached.
When i prepared it for transport and was to take out the ball, it was missing. 🙂

The MPU-board seem to still have it´s original battery.
(Yes, it has leaked.. 🙂 )

I will not even try to power it up in this state.
Firstly i will have to check all the boards, and replace burnt connectors etc.
(Voltages, capacitor changes, solenoid board upgrading and so forth.)

All this is coming, so just wait for it. 🙂

The playfield doesn´t seem to be badly worn, with just a few small areas where the wood is visible.
The top glass seems to be in good shape.
