NOS playfield swap for Pinball Magic is first on the agenda.

Possibly the same for BBB, although haven't decided for certain.

Have a second Firepower that I was considering restoring, although might sell as a cheap project for someone else's Christmas project.   #@#

I'm hoping to get my paragon finished.  Would also light to remove my rapid for playfield and try melting it flat between two playfield glasses.   
   This will be the first time I've ever had holidays off over Xmas I'm so excited (pretty sad really)

MM ground up restoration.

New cab decals, new playfield swap, new ramps, new plastics set, new castle, etc.

Will start the project in the New Year as my chrome/gold plating place I use is shutting down over the Xmas/New Year break and I have a number of parts to be plated that I don't want to get held up on during the rebuild.

I'll be repairing a Capcom Airborne over the Christmas break for some people locally and looks like I'll also be giving the playfield a good clean and general service. Repaired a Twilight Zone yesterday and now wish I had that in my garage over the holidays....#pinLust

PM is probably on the harder side too - but don't worry, if you are careful and strategic it's not hard, and I'll have mine available to help if need be. There's a couple of things to know when you do this, let me know when you are ready and I'll post or point to a guide on the things to do.

My pinball project is to stop the wife wasting money at the shops over the whole Xmas period, thus leaving my funds alone n available next year for me to buy a new Stern or so.
Plan on adding full LEDS to a few different machines, playing lots of games whilst the wifes parents visit for a whole 6 weeks at Xmas..... @@^

Maybe start on my 1978 Williams Phoenix full restoration.
