Unfortunately, I lost a few photos I took of the playfield re assembly, so I'll post photos of the finished game.

The door was scratched and required a repaint





Rudy needed a bath, and needed to be rebuilt completely. Considering I never powered on this game, I had to test everything before re assembly. There was no list of "faults", just worn parts throughout the game.





Here is the new PinballInc / RTBBRamps populated and ready to be installed. These are THE best ramps. Everything lines up and they look fantastic !





All the boards are rebuilt and tested. Always a good sign to see machines that have J120 and J121 without burnt connectors or burnt tracks. I've printed and laminated new cards for the headbox to finish it off.





Obviously everything is rebuilt under the playfield. The wiring will be completely tidied up once I've sorted out any small issues.





Here's the refinished front door.





Playfield shots

















Finished game cabinet shots. The new playfield glass was removed for these shots.











I'll post some shots of the game in action as the ones I took last night are crap. But the game is 100% working are will be picked up tomorrow !

You just can't beat a nice neat looking game can you. I know whenever I have done a bit of resto on a game I'm eagle to get that first game but then finally get lead in just looking at the work done and drifting into a nice place just enjoying looking at the game. Nice work there Nino.
Still loving my Metallica Premium

I was lucky enough to buy this game this week. Picked it up yesterday and it still looks stunning and despite an 11hr drive home it plays perfectly too. A real credit to you Nino, I feel very fortunate to have this game in my collection.

I do have a bit of work to do chasing down to 70 odd million high score though.  %.%
