HSII The Getaway Restoration Project

wanted to share another project I've been working on over the past few months with my son. We've been taking an old beat-up High Speed II The Getaway pinball machine and completely restoring it back to even better than its original glory. This video documents our process, shows a lot of time lapse of our work and along the way I share some important tips that we learned as we did this project together.

Would you like to support me and my channel? Here's how:   / thepinballroom
