Williams OXO repair

Post by Sparky »

Hello all,

I had someone contact me just before the holidays to fix up a Williams OXO. I wanted to document the repair so she can see the progress. I will post pics later today, but here is a synopsis of what's wrong:

- Cabinet has a piece of wood paneling on bottom, covering the coinbox area and hiding the power switch
- Someone installed a lamp power cord with a cheap switch, and stapled the wire to the bottom of the head. Not safe...
-power cord plug has exposed live wire...
- playfield in need of shop job
- lots of silver heads for bulbs. Backbox is full of them. Great for heating, not great for backglass lol
- game struggles to switch between players, and sometimes sticks on a ball (dirty steppers...)
- legs are rusty and bent
- flippers sluggish. Need a tuneup

So, I will focus on these items. Pf is nice and cab was repainted (albeit wrong colors, but ok). Bg is taped but I have seen worse. Art is all there.

Pics tomorrow showing start of project.

FLIPPERS, JOYSTICKS & ELBOWS UP!
