Ball Launch is a cool feature on this title, and collector's are keen to have it present and working on their machine ! This one was gummed up badly and the button was constantly becoming stuck on the "on" position. I stripped the mechanism and removed the years of lubrication that had gummed up the assembly.




cleaned and ready to re assemble





Playfield is stripped completely and cleaned with Nifti and a rag ! I removed the mylar in front of the slings as the left side was peeling. I usually remove the metal guides, but these were stubborn to remove (when I attempted to remove a couple), and I didn't want to damage the playfield.





Same playfield after a few hours of polishing and buffing.





Playfield detail - I love the artwork on this game.





Each individual mechanism has been removed and will be rebuilt. The ramps and metal habit trails have been sent to MartyJ to repair.

The replacement plastic set has been organized, and hopefully Brett will send it ASAP - Thanks again mate  ^^^
