Pinball Scavenging

I purchased a little while ago the worst pinball machine playfield ever: Williams' Hardbody .  It is considered to be one of the worst pinball machines ever made and that's why it was cheap!  I'm scavenging usable parts from it.  Drop targets, raised ramps, ball savers, you get a little bit of everything from the playfield.  I also got Laser Ball , an average pinball playfield. Bally HardBody Williams Laser Ball  This is by far and away the cheapest way to get parts.  I paid $200 for both playfields and considering that even used pop bumpers can cost $30 so it was well worth it.  I'll likely have a ton of parts left over from my project in the future but if anyone wants to buy an unpopulated playfield let me know. The Laser Ball playfield is actually in good condition but is just rather dirty from being stored for so long.  I've also kept the non-broken plastics.
