This page illustrates my Medusa Pinball game that I've had for several years and finally got around to restoring. This is the first time I have had to replace the butt-end of a game box (severe water damage) and I plan to show the effort undertaken in a video I plan to make. I bought the game at a very good fixer-upper price in early 2004 with no idea of whether it worked or not. Of course it didn't so I had to replace some parts to turn it in to a player. The playfield, backglass, and box are in pretty good shape, except for the water damage to the butt-end of the box which is catastrophic and can't be repaired. I had to make my own butt-end board since the existing particle board was way beyond repair. To do this, a table saw and dado blade is needed to match the existing dadoes and miters of the game box sides. I began restoration of the game in September of 2007 and finished it in November of 2007. I plan to eventually create a DVD showing the restoration process since I took over 10 hours of videos. No telling when this will happen, but I hope to do it in 2008. I would estimate that I spent around 100 hours restoring this game from beginning to end. I routinely play the game every week and have had no problems as of yet. My photos below begin with some flyers followed by restoration pictures beginning with the playfield area that was being disassembled for restoration.
