Here's a very popular and extremely fun pinball machine to play named
"The Getaway - High Speed 2" that would be a great candidate
to show how we go about restoring our pinball machines. This machine had been neglected for
some time and was absolutely filthy. It might not be obvious from
the photos but we felt this game could be
brought back to life with a little time and extra effort though.
Below are a few shots of The Getaway as we first unloaded it into our
shop to be restored.

As you can see, the dome and light fixture at
the top had
been completely broken

Nice scuff mark from moving this guy during the
years.


A few more scuffs to the cabinet from moving to
repaint

Someone must have spilled soda down there

More to clean and touch up

After removing the glass

Close up of the playfield entombed in a layer
of dirt. Wow, this is going to need some work

Yup! There is a playfield under there






The cabinet had its first cleaning and getting
ready to be shopped out

classic pinball machine.
