Here's another Steve Kordek classic, featuring an early example of a bonus countdown.  According to the Internet Pinball Database, there were only 1,500 made. I bought this pin at the 2006 York Show and ended up selling it in March, 2007, due to lack of space.  It was complete except for the lockbar, and the back door. I think the only real setback to this project was the missing lockbar, which can be hard to find.  The back door can be cut from a sheet of pine, available at any Lowe's.

As you can see from the pics, this was a project pin. The bonus countdown stepper unit under the playfield had been disassembled and the pieces were in what appeared to be the original coin box.  I put it back together and the game worked somewhat, but still had scoring issues.  I think taking apart and cleaning the score reel assemblies would have cleared this up. They were quite gunked up.  I don't know why, but it seems like every 60's pin I have ever come across seems to get a good dose of WD-40 in any or all working parts, which can make a lot of problems.

The cabinet needed to be stripped and repainted. If you check out this pin at The Internet Pinball Database, you'll see it's a basic pattern and probably wouldn't have been that hard to repaint either by hand or with a stencil.  If I'd had the space to keep this pin at the time, I think it would have been a great project.  However, as I've learned over the years, you can't keep 'em all.
