Sorry for the delay, anyways here are 4 pix of the playfield. Keep in mind this playfield is 42 years old. In all the games from this vintage this one has come up the nicest. There is an area to the left just next to the outlane were the paint lifted. Would say that the mylar was applied to the pin when new.

So what do you guys think?

That's a Nice Playfield . Looks great well done. Great condition for a game of that vintage . I'm guessing Apollo would of been a popular game on location & maybe played to death !@#
By all accounts Apollo is a great game with the mini bagatelle in the headbox a fun feature to score a replay.

I think it looks GREAT, Tony - Well Done  ^^^

It is a shame that PBR does not do plastics sets like the old Gottliebs ? It would look BRAND NEW !!

Being the new owner of this game, I was really looking forward to the first glimpse of the playfield after all the work and new parts.  Well worth the wait, it looks awesome for a game of its age.  Well done Tony  #*#

Can't wait to see the pics of the completed game.

I ended up buying the APOLLO that the stencils were taken from - it IS a great game, definately a keeper. Im sure Tony thought long and hard before selling her on - your PF is in better shape than mine.
My PF has some general wear and ball swirl and has been mylared over - ill be taking this off and considering a restore on it - ive already reapplied the blue to the wording "FLIPPERS" on the tops of the flippers - LOL - couldnt help myself!

Got a hectic week in front of me, don't think I can do the questions justice with the limited time I have.

How about you (Tony) go this week and I'll go the week after?
