Hey all
Still on my restore 'rest' due to the landscaping - thats NEARLY done.
You will understand why I needed a year off EVERYTHING when I put some B4 and after pics of the yard up in around January.
In the meantime I have been quietly on the search for a game or two to restore next year.
I have my Joker Poker to do the full job on ( any word on those stencils Gav ? )
And today I very cautiously grabbed this rare title.
The BG is great, the cabinet is decent/ good.
The playfield is , well, just fairly rooted %.%
These come along rarely and I , well I just HAD to grab it - regardless of condition.
Now all I can do is HOPE I can find a playfield and other bits somewhere, someday.

This is probably the ONLY game I have ever bought not knowing if I will be able to get parts - to me , and the way I get my games it is a risk, BUT its a worthy title so I figured why the hell not !@#
More later ^^^

Wouldn't a bottle of Nifty fix all that up?

Apparently for some :lol and a rag #@#

Wow, that game from the States really left an impression on you. I am sure you will find a way to shop this game out and be a keeper.
At least you could do up the rest of the game and get the playfield up and playing (de-bugged) ready for a replacement someday and enjoy in the meantime.
Have fun with it.
Did you buy it in Aus or from OS?
-
Great title there Wotto, hope you get that playfield sorted.
-
If ya paid small bux for it, its a worthy project.
I reckon strip it right back to a bare playfield and seriously buy a top quality airbrush kit and learn yourself (thats what i am aiming to do).
If anything Wotto, you have nothing to lose by practicing on other bits of wood, then once u are okay with the airbrush, give that playfield ago.
Either way mate, I love ya passion, and I reckon determination will get u there in the end. More challenge, more fun when you win in the end. Keep us updated. ^^^ ^^^

Good to see you found one. I am sure that you will work something out with the playfield. Never know, there maybe NOS playfields lying around.
-
Good luck getting this nice... infact i believe there is more than luck needed but anyway it looks like would be a wonderfull addition to your collection... in GOOD quality %.% %$%

I have my Joker Poker to do the full job on ( any word on those stencils Gav ? )
I hear ya mate... but im literally pulling my hair out trying to get jobs done before middle Dec for the sign business...
All stencils will be with those who want them before Xmas... but i have to get this work out of the way first..
\
... bear with me.. they are coming!!

Wotto - Don't let the condition detract from the possibility here. I've never seen you baulk at a challenge. This is an "A list Bally", and I'm glad you have it. Take your time and consider having the playfield professionally restored and clearcoated. Trust me mate - it is worth it and if someone can do the touch ups, it will be worth any extra $.
An awesome and rare title. Well done mate ^^^

A little bit of inspiration.....

Pretty sure thats what it says above Nick

I have a t2 that I restored, but left the beat, old, ratty playfield in, it could be the cousin to your Embryon! Worse case, make it play great but look ugly. It's worthy!

Shame about the playfield but that backglass looks amazing.
Thanks for sharing. ^^^

if its too much for you to handle,i'll take it of your hands. &&

where there's a will, there's a way. I look forward to this project.

I don't know if this is an option, but maybe chase down the line of the visual pinball websites as a game creator of this game may have started with a Hi Res scan.....
Here is what I found, I know not perfect but someone out there has a good scan then can create this.
This was a 5mb png file down sized for viewing here.

Thanks Swinks
That is a great addition to assist a plan already in the works.
I have contact with an artist who has re-drawn pinball playfields before.
I will give it to her as a first attempt to re-paint it and images like what you supplied will be helpful in that case , along with some photos I already have.
Thankyou ^^^

Hi Wotto
I sent the zip file with a few things in there that may help to your email.
cheers

Looks like another job for.... ELTIMBO!

Hey Wotto
Got an email tonight from Flying Dutchman and he is going to ask around for a playfield scan - if I get it I will pass it your way.
cheers
