Restoring the video arcade of the 80's

Skee Ball

This game has a long history from 1909 to today. Philadelphia Tobaggan Company started it all. Deltronics labs brought the game into the electronic realm. Now the operating entity is called Skee Ball Amusement Games.

This is a Model E. The first electronic models were in 1974 and called Model D for Deltronics, the company that was retrofitting the mechanical games with their electronics. Some deal between PTC and Deltronics brought that technology in house and the Model E (for electronic?) was created. Current machines (since the early 1980's) are either Model H or Model S.

Started restoring the Skee Ball Alley. So much sanding and filling to do.

I stripped off the cork a few weeks ago. I found an underlying layer of cork. I am not sure if the last repair involve dropping new cork over old or if there are supposed to be two layers?
