When i first saw it, i too thought it was a very ambitious project. i really was not looking forward to tackling it. But as always, take one step at a time and you start to make progress. Mechanically its in better shape than the 1951 Wms HARVEY i fixed up. The BG animation is self evident once you take a deep breath and dive in.
I forgot to add - this game has metal flipper buttons - wait till you see those shine in a newly painted cabinet!
