 I am pretty stoked with the results given I'd never touched a pinnie previously.  


You have done an absolutely outstanding job and I had forgotten that this was your 1st resto attempt.  ^^^

As you know , all the $$ and hours are worth it when you can admire the results any time you like .

Congratulations on an excellent 1st restore effort . ^^^

I need more room ! and more $$$

Thanks for the comments guys.  Not sure what I'll do next.  I still need to finish the 2nd Spacies that I have and I am due to get my fully hotrodded T2 very soon from el-Timbo, so I may just sit back and enjoy these things for a while. 

Work space is an issue and the missus was getting the shits a little with my taking over the whole double garage (needlessly) so I am seriously thinking about knocking down my 3x3m shed and putting up a bigger shed in my backyard just so I will have some room to fiddle around.  During this whole process, I was just astounded by how much time and effort goes into these processes.  It really is allot of work (and that's just me doing an amateur job).  But I have really enjoyed it.  I am even looking at some of those pool room type studios for the backyard can you believe it!  Would cost allot but I have a huge backyard, and a dedicated room would look great - not into those oversized outta place looking garages

I would really love an old late 70's - early 80's cocktail table next....I have all the mame's on an Xbox1 but it just aint the same

Hi all - someone PM'd me quite a while ago asking me if they could grab any used parts from this Space Invaders restore as they had a machine and wanted spare parts.  I have deleted the PM by mistake.  If that person contacts me, I'll see what I can do as I have allot of spare parts etc
Thanks
