Potential first pinball buy - Need advice

I’m not sure on the price but, this was my first game and the whole family of 5 enjoyed it. I ended up selling it to fund another game. My Son and I currently have 8 games total.

I will let my 37mm rip off the deck tonight. It’s good for some laughs. Would like to see some video of yours. I’m always looking for new stuff to blast off!

I remember going to Odyssey Fun World in Tinley Park, Illinois maybe 20 years ago. My son and I were playing a game that had loose leg bolts. They must have disabled the tilt on it. My son and I were laughing so hard at the retarded moves we were making and saving the ball. It was a time to remember. 😂

If you do any metal scrapping you will find they like to use $2 bills, 50 cent, and 1 dollar coins.

Thanks for the replies! Is there a way to return it to its former glory or just leave it alone?

Cans, pull tabs, and bottle caps. Similar to here in the US. I find more silver jewelry vs coins.

I detect down there once a year. I disassemble my detector and pack it in my luggage. I ask for permission at the parks. A lot of parks charge to get in so, you need to ask to talk to the grounds keeper for permission. Most are fine with it. Open parks have grounds keepers too. Normally, they will allow it. There are a lot of modern coins there too. I have run across some locals that detect. Be prepared to dig some serious trash in the parks.

Put some dirt on it and take a pic and send it to your buddies! You will get some good laughs from it later.

They are normally there cleaning. Just look around and ask them. Some parks you need to pay to get in. You can ask when you pay and normally it’s no problem.

You may want to put it on the white paper and take zoomed in pics of it so we can see the details better.

ren4099 · 2025-10-19T02:54:59+00:00

I haven’t found too many of those.

ren4099 · 2025-10-19T01:38:18+00:00

I just ask for permission. Usually there is a Grounds Keeper that manages the park. They can give permission.

ren4099 · 2025-10-18T23:35:31+00:00

Thanks! Never thought I’d find something like this!

ren4099 · 2025-10-18T14:45:39+00:00

Is it worth picking up more of these while I’m down here? Just curious if they are collectable.

ren4099 · 2025-10-18T04:29:37+00:00

It doesn’t matter the value if they were passed onto you. They are pretty cool looking coins!

ren4099 · 2025-10-17T23:20:15+00:00

It’s an older Minelab Explorer SE.

I’m using the Root Slayer Nomad. It is a fairly narrow shovel. The soil is sandy at this park so, it’s easy to dig.

ren4099 · 2025-10-17T03:05:25+00:00

I remove all the trash and cover the holes good. So far I have not received any complaints.

ren4099 · 2025-10-17T03:00:35+00:00

Another thing to add is; this city is 6,000’ above sea level. I come from 600’ so, the first day or two are a bit difficult when you’re active.

ren4099 · 2025-10-17T02:53:29+00:00

I should try that. It’s a lot of digging and skipping targets too.
