Meteor is a machine made by Stern in 1979. It was based on the movie of the same name starring Sean Connery and Natalie Wood. I had never seen the movie and about halfway through restoring this pinball machine I decided to watch it.

This machine came to us in pretty good shape – short of the playfield being rather worn. It had a couple of score displays out, needed some electronic work, and playfield paint – and of course a good cleaning. Backglass was almost perfect and the cabinet was in very good shape.

The playfield got repainted, a thick clear coat, and it is ready to go. Plays a ton faster than a regular Meteor.
