American V-2 Challenge Ball
The machine was in really good shape, just needed to be cleaned up and some paint touch up. I mounted it in a cabinet and de-pinned the lock so it could be opened.
On the left set of circle numbers a metal stud was missing, (between the #4 and #14). I made a replacement stud using a carriage bolt of the same size.
I made some translated stickers for the top of the machine, (the blue one above the playfield), and the one on the front door telling how to play.
I added some led's to lite up the playfield, the shooter door window, the coin tray and a couple that lite up the amber colored lens at the top of the playfield when the machine dumps the balls at the start of the game. All the added led's run independent from the power for the machine, using a separate 12V transformer.
I added an extension to the coin overflow chute. When coins overflow they go down the extension, which is centered over a slot in the bottom of the cabinet and fall down into a drawer, that can be opened from the front of the machine.
Wonder why the flags on the playfield only have 44 stars.
