Re: A Moldy Oldie or,how my Jet Spin broke the mold.

Nasty, Nasty, Nasty! I would finger bang a crack hoe, before I would
try to clean up that machine. SERIOUSLY... watch bringing that machine
into your home, just google MOLD, and you will see what I mean. A mold
remediation will cost thousands. Pneumonia may cost you your life.
Think about your family before you expose them to this stuff.

He found the game and could very well have kept it himself to part out
or clean up and fix.

He is truly dedicated to the hobby.

It's hard to describe the condition of this machine except BROWN!!! It
has mold on every inch of wood, even under the posts! I'm pretty sure
it has mold on the mold!

The good news is that after about 3 hours trying to pry, cut and drill
the lockdown bar off (the locking mechanism was broken) I was able to
start cleaning the playfield and it looks great. Colors are vibrant
and the paint is thick. Just worn in one spot.

If anyone is interested, Here is a link to some pictures.

Also, Has anyone come across a game in similar condition? If so,
any advice on how best to clean the mold?
