Good luck with it Devlin, Im sure based on what you did with the TORCH that this will come up great..even better then the TORCH as the starting point is better in my opinion.

Now your brother just has to use his ASS like skills, like he did in finding the backglass for the Bally World Cup, and get you a Time Warp backglass.

Surely someone here knows of a good TW backglass that is just hanging on a games wall somewhere that would be better used on a pin restore!  Come on cough it up.....

Good on you - there is a bit of love about for TW, a great machine and good luck with the resto.

In the wild adolescent sexually charged days me and mates used to refer to the right hand tunnel shot as the the tunnel of love - in middle age this is how we still refer to it  %.%

Great machine there as I too have a nice TW and love playing it with 5 bumpers and 10x bonus and 2 sets of targets. I have some new yellow NOT factory blue banana flipper rubbers if you want a pair-I'd love to contribute to your restore.. <..>

Looking forward to seeing the finished results.  I saw this machine a while ago and I reckon its well worth the effort.  I suspect the mylar (hopefully) will come off cleanly and you'll have a real good game.

best of luck. I have a TW too (my very first game). It lives at a mate's place (just around the corner) as space is limited. But I wouldn't sell it, and love getting around there for the odd game.

And Firepower - we called it the same thing but not the polite version you used!

Mine looks the same - appears to be mould under the mylar, the same grubby blotches, so I will watch with great interest.

Also does anybody have any thoughts or methods on how to turn the yellow bananna flipper rubbers (currently available) to blue (currently unavailable) - I reckon there's a knighthood in it for anybody that can tell us how to do this.

Finally, Pinnies4me I was speaking euphamistically to protect the guilty!
