About time a made a update with the "Catacomb"  I have finished some touch ups on the playfield  , The Ladies arm is finished , but still a little to do on the guys leg on the upper left playfield . 1st pic is the before shot , 2nd  pic is of the finished artwork , I used enamel Umbrol model paints, had to use several coats to level up the holes first ...Then put the details in ...

Wow, that cabinet and the coin door look sensational! How good do those light shrouds look also! I have Jady's shrouds on a couple of my games also and and they sure beat the hell out of the brittle and broken original ones.

Pinprick made up the  Coin Decals  and Stern door sticker, look hard and you can see the nipples . && The upper door surround  is not installed yet . Lock down mech needs some welding up..
New shooter housing and spring ,and polished up the shooter rod and coin reject button.
Re-grained the side rails then fitted them all bolts polished...

,Hope to get the rest sorted over the next few weeks and fire her up for a game

Thanks for sharing Ralph. Loving the resto & quite like the colour of the cab - unique but works perfectly.
I enjoy Porsche, Gibson LPs, Bally-Williams & learning about pinball maintenance & restoration.

I finally have the game working , after some head scratching . F1 was blowing , turned out a few connector pins had been placed in the wrong slots , all sorted now , Just need a small welding job done on the lock down mech , and a few other small things , a few lamp holders to replace .
Game playing well, really happy with the outcome
