Hi all, first posting... I'm more of a pinball guy, but I'm trying to repair/refurbish this Rockola "Official Sweepstakes".
I have it working fine, except I need the graphics backdrop. (I saw one was sold off eBay semi-recently, but thought I'd come here first.)
Also... if anyone has the "selector cradle" that the penny chute sits in to select the winner... that appears to have been busted and replaced with a piece of bent metal at some point.
And lastly I think... the ball it has in it seems awful small. Is there a specific size ball that went in these units?
Not really a parts question... but will refurnishing the wood (and re-staining/painting the silver stripes) affect the price? Or should I leave the case in rough shape?
(I'm guessing this is an original, and not a repro... but the condition is rather beat.)
(It is not mine, and so no intentions of selling... doing the repairs as a favor.)
Here's a quick gallery :
