A game I use to hate for the wrong reason. Seldom is this title reconditioned "shopped" or "fully done up" correctly. Once I restored one myself and it was working 100%, I could appreciate how deep and enjoyable this game is. There is so much engineering packed into this game. A widebody with the under playfield packed with mechanisms, switches, boards and the diverter subway ramp.

This why I liked the game back in the 90's during my apprenticeship. After playing and loving it I bought a game off a local operator just to see how the thing worked. Regret selling that machine so this one is a keeper.
New ramps and plastics will go in it for sure. I will get a order list together as I go. I will keep my eye out on your site. Do you have the subway as well?
I checked Marco. They seem to have similar spinner decals but not the same. They do have the black spinner though which you must have to bend yourself. Plenty of time to ponder which way I want to go.
Awesome ! Did you screen print the warning text on the back of the headbox ?
Very nice. Always wanted one but I suppose only played poorly maintained ones that made game play ho hum
Very nice, the cabinet looks heaps better with the sides painted out. The base looks really good too, did it clean up like that or did you need to give it a light sand?

Cheers, I taped up the angled pieces on the sides then I sanded the bottom with a fine grade grit on a small orbital sander that has a point to get into the corners. After that I hand sanded the angled pieces and any places the orbital couldn't reach. Awkward back bending work but it came up pretty good. The wood was in good condition with no water damage so it was a good starting point.
