Spare Parts

Here are some spare parts for my project pinball machine don't see any bulbs had to order some.

United Leader Pinball machine 1951 model

The way this machine is suppose to work is you get three in a row and you win you get four in a row and win more plays you get five and you win even more can be up or down but not across. You can only win on one card. It takes nickles to operate. The machine has a tilt so you can't get to rough with banging it around. Right now there are several things not working on this machine not only will it not score when you win some of the lights will not light up.

Broken Arm Report

This is the latest on my arm my cast is gone praise the Lord it feels good to be free from that and the itching that goes along with it. I am signed up for therapy which will start in April for two weeks so I can get free use of it since I haven't used it for six weeks. Not able to lift any weight but able to drive now which gives me some freedom. Will try to be more responsible and careful so I don't have to do this again. My ribs still hurt a little from my fall but they are coming along.

United Leader Pinball machine

I have started on a new venture I have purchased an antique pinball machine that needs to be restored. It is a 1951 model Leader made by United manufacturing company of Chicago. It is all there but is not working at this present time. If there is anyone out their on the World Wide Webb that may have a service manual on this machine I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. It is quite complicated machine and I need all the help I can get. If worse comes to shove I will have to draw my own schematics which will take some time but be retired I do have time and I am a pretty patient person generally but I would prefer doing it the easy way if possible.

After Surgery

Here is my latest x-ray you can see the screw clearly also the staples which are not there any more they were remove yesterday. I am mending nicely and my doctor wants to see me again in two weeks. Would sure like to be doing some things outside on sunny days.

Sparky Whines

Sparky writes it is hard to post now since I broke my right arm and can use only my left. So now I use the hunt and peck method which is much time consuming. I am not complaining or whining all though this may sound like it. I know it could have been a lot worse and there are people who are in a far more difficult situation than I find my self in. I am giving the good Lord the credit for watching out for me and keeping me from breaking my neck. I have discovered that when I do something stupid it effects not only my self but my loved ones ,family and friends. Since I broke my arm I can no longer even feed my best friend Bonnie but my wife now has to among dozens of other chores which were my responsibility.

T his is a x-ray of Sparkys arm before his surgery he now has a screw that holds the broken bone together.
