I guess the cabinet pattern and backbox pattern are sort of meant to be lined up?

Lovely job... looks bloody great!

But i think the mistake is...


The cream stripe from cabinet to header is meant to be cabinet base colour

Thanks guys .
For those interested , the mistake is that somehow I left out a small circle on one side of the head.
I might try fixing that with a touchup job  !@#

The playboard wasn't too bad , but thought I might as well clean it up while its out of the cab.

I'm waiting on a couple of parts orders anyway.

I stripped everything off, laquered the timber, cleaned everything and reassembled .

Finally got this game back together .
It looks great but unfortunately doesn't work yet  !!!. Looks like switches out of adjustment on one (or more) of the 16 score reels  &^& .. maybe something else wrong too .

Anyway, here's a pic of the playfield now .
 I really should do something about the 1,000 point writing on the bottom outlanes but its a bit hard for me .
