Here we go, second pinball collected!

I got my hands on a relatively damaged 1992 Solid-State (SS) Bally Creature From The Black Lagoon, a.k.a CFTBL. The previous owners made an (many?) attempt(s) at fixing things, but at first glance it looks like they didn't know what they were doing.

Today I got my very first pinball machine: a 1964 Williams Electro-Mechanical (EM) Whoopee!

I found it thanks to the help of a friend in a consignment shop in Paris, it was covered in dust, hidden under a staircase. Despite the dust, the machine looked promising; it obviously suffered from excessive humidity, but the playfield was in really good condition, and the backglass was as good as it could be.

For the records, it apparently came from a decedent's estate and was found in a barn...

This gets me started!
