IMHO T3 is a truly beautiful looking machine, with a stunning and non-hectic colour scheme.
What I dislike is hearing that quote "Out of time" (ad nauseum) from Arnie's RPG.
Maybe I'm just a crap player at T3?
I am impressed by how meticulously you doc/photo as you progress. Especially holding a steel rule up to metal spacers.
From now on I'll so the same, because I got caught once on a MM. Very luckily IPDB has a photo/chart of MM with the lengths indicated. Nearly shat when I realised how I'd fnyucked up.
Are you thinking of putting any German Stainless bits on this baby? Or do they only suit T2?
Anyway, she's looking like being a ripper already.

Documenting restorations and in particular, recording small details like spacers with rulers, is part of the process on ALL games. It is a simple yet effective way of making sure the game is re assembled correctly. I used to see machines stripped down to the playfield - except the posts and the pop bumper assemblies, and wonder why you would stop halfway through the teardown ? All that is needed is a camera and the job can be done properly.

No hardware extras on this game - I think the playfield is "busy" enough and it's main attraction is the flow. Cool game !
