Cabin Fever? New rubbers for Delta Queen

Bally Delta Queen

Is it cabin fever, in these confined times, that drove me to re rubber Delta Queen?

Rubbers for Delta Queen

Why do I keep this game? Why do I keep playing Delta Queen? It's one of Bally's weakest pinball offerings of the 70's.

I didn't just re rubber the game... I freshened up the lamps too. Even did the ones under the top arch.
I have to admit it plays way better. As for looking better... it has more lights.

Freshened up Delta Queen

I'm grateful to be holed up at home with no kids, lots of beer and lots of pinball. But it does feel strange not to be able to go visit friends for public health reasons. Gives me lots of time to play and appreciate my games, instead of just repairing them.

Although I enjoy a bit of work / maintenance too.

Playing bingo too.

3 in green scores 36: I'll take that

There should be a law for pinball repair... sorta like Murphy's Law but applied to pinball repair, it should go like this:
After repairing a pinball machine, and test playing it extensively, problems will reveal themselves once the playfield glass is re-installed.
