Bingo Overhaul
Step 1: Game assembly, inspection, and power tools

The first thing was a quick inspection of the cabinet and head to see if there was any problems with the wood that would require repair. The cabinet and head on this game are in good shape, and will just need a little cleaning. The metal side rails have surface rust, so I'll have to head over to the http://www.marvin3m.com/fix.htm to look up what products people have used to clean that up. However, that won't stop me from putting the thing together, so it's on to assemby.

After digging the loose parts out of the cabinet, which consisted of a coin switch protector from the coin door, three lamps, and a few assorted nuts-n-bolts, the urge to break out a power tool snuck up on me.

About the only power tool I could use at this point is a shop-vac, so it was time to suck all the dust and cobwebs out. In the process, I believe I have solved the riddle out why things move slower in the southern US (The game has a tax stamp from South Carolina on it)....it's because the dust clings so tenaciously to smooth, flat surfaces everything must weigh more down there.

There must be a catch someplace. Let's see what inspection will uncover.
