Having been severely impacted by Lockdowns, I managed to make progress in between. It seems RTBB Parts sales go through the roof during the lockdowns and then when we can finally do restoration work, I TRY to get as much done, as quickly as possible. So this resto was VERY "stop and start" and then bolts to the finish line.


Drop Targets rebuilt with new targets and decals.







On just about every Elvis that is reconditioned or restored, I NEVER seen the mini playfield replaced ? They are cheap and easy to replace..









MASSIVE Difference !







The headbox had a few issues, and I thought it would be an easy fix, but it was not. I ended up repainting a large section on each side. I'm not a huge fan of doingg this kind of work. I wish the decals were available. If I had more time, I'd get then scanned properly..










Now all I have to do is clear and sand the touch ups.







Apologies - Not much time was spent documenting the re assembly, as I had no idea how much time I could spend on the game, so I just kept working on it. Most of the playfield is done at this stage - the new plastic set, rubbers and my favorite LEDS - Ablaze Premium Ghostbusters.







Incandescent Flashers are installed just for testing. This playfield POPS with LEDS and WHITE rubbers !







I've installed the Tilt Graphics Gameblades - and they look AMAZING. VERY durable. Quality is EASILY best I've seen.

















Really pleased with the added features on this game... But there's more !
