Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure Restoration Project - The Journey Begins!

My First Pinball Restoration

I am about to embark on my first full pinball restoration so I thought it would be a good idea to create my first Blog to record the process and document other pinball related topics.

I have recently purchased a Williams "Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure" (IJ). The table is in a very poor state and needs a lot of work carried out on it. In fact it is now known as "Indiana Jones: The Mega Rust bucket of Doom" in certain circles!

I believe the table was 'found' in a barn or similar building but I will find out more details hopefully.

History

Williams released the IJ in 1993 and it was designed by Mark Ritchie who also designed other classic pinball tables including Fish Tales. The artwork was created by Doug Watson.

Further details can be found on the Internet Pinball Database.

Delivery

I took delivery of the table on the morning of Monday, 25th January 2010 and I am now ready to start working on the restoration... well almost. When the pin was delivered I was never given the key! Hopefully, it is now on the way so I can start work this weekend.

I will post some photos in my next posting.
