That's gorgeous. Sounds like a great idea! Best era ever if you ask me.
I used to have a '78 Bally Six Million Dollar Man - the day this thing turned up I'm sure I played it nonstop for the whole easter break

Bally machines are classic, nice fast play. The Laserball has a bit of a weird setup especially being a widebody but I love it. It's covered in clothes at the moment and rarely played on but I struggle to think of selling it. Was a real tough one to repair and get working, and man you know what it's like when you play pinball...
Ex girlfriend a few years back took me to the pinball museum in Margate which was a bit odd but good fun. Some time later I treated myself to a visit to the one in Paris which is really good. Definitely recommend them if you can tolerate old school pinball.

@jaw The original pinball machine is in the corner (probably gonna sell it some time). It's a Williams 1979 Laser Ball, wide body, one of the first solid state machines. Pretty rare.

Mine is running a Rottendog MPU, because the original boards were toast. Stockpiled spare plastics and parts - bought a whole extra playfield to remove all the moving parts as spares just in case, and for a few years the spare playfield and broken plastics sat in the corner.
So now the spare playfield is my desk, had a custom cut piece of polished edge 8mm toughened glass, on top of original (broken) plastics. Haven't finished that 'project' yet so glass is still resting on the blue foam rectangles. Pic now attached when glass first arrived.
