Carnival Queen (Bingo) - Restoration

Well finally got my hands on a bingo machine. Being a 1950's machine, my aim was to keep it as original as possible. Will be mainly cleaning up the playfield and cabinet and getting it running. These machines are huge so had to be transported in 2 vehicles. Here are some picts of the giant and heavy headbox of the Carnival Queen Bingo. As I was on my own, I managed to get it out of the car without dropping it.

Playfield

The playfield was in good condition, cleaned up and waxed. All rubbers replaced. All Bulb Sockets Repaired. New apron cards were made.

First job was to remove all the metal side rails (The original wood rails are underneath) As well as the metal armour on the rest of the cabinet.
