Scientific Batting Practice Arcade Game

I just completed a ground up restoration on the game and it is not that complex a machine so restoration or repair should not be all that expensive. Your machine is in really amazing original condition (take care of the inside curtains -rarely seen) and clearly worthy of being repaired, don't let it go to the arcade machine graveyard!

The men are being reproduced (sadly in chrome and EXPENSIVE - you will have to paint them, I did it and have no artistic talent and they came out great) and can be obtained from Gameroom Warehouse (the one in Kansas not PA). They are not cheap but the old hard rubber just deconposed over 67 years since they were made, go figure.

Your graphics are not perfect but they are original and I'd just touch up the cabinet and not repaint (really!!). Your marquee and scoreglass (plastic) look good too. I just had to re-create the scoreboard (40 or 50 hours on Photoshop) because the re-pop out there looks nothing like the original, I've gotta do the marquee next but at least the re-pop for that is close.

Fix that bad boy up. It's one of the best ever and you've got a real sweet machine to start with.
