Re: Shop Log: 1980 Bally Skateball
Skateball prepares to leave for its new home. I usually prefer to remove the head of classic games, but this one is much easier to just fold.
This won't be the last post, there will be some video in the near future, and probably some occasional updates. But the story is mostly complete. Hope you enjoyed following.
Bye!
I setup the game in Craig's garage and already there are problems! One of the targets is jumping up, that wasn't here; something moved a little in transport, or slightly different angle of setup, whatever. I know how to fix it but didn't have the materials handy. And one of the EOS switches had to be cleaned again.This won't be the last post, there will be some video in the near future, and probably some occasional updates. But the story is mostly complete.

Re: Shop Log: 1980 Bally Skateball
I very much enjoyed your shop log TR...
Thanks for putting in the time and effort to teach some of us the tricks to get/keep these engineering marvels in service!
The gremlins that appeared after transport are so frustrating! I hate when you buy a machine that works fine when play testing, only to have issues when it gets to its new home... hence the term “as is, where is”!
