1948 Bally Carnival Pinball Machine
Restoration

A dude up in Oklahoma had this since the early 80s.  He bought it at an estate sale of a company going out of business or something.  He never did anything with it.  It sat there. For decades.  Let’s fix this beauty.

I documented this restoration on YouTube.  Here’s the videos, start to finish, newest at the top.
