Here are the metal ramps and habittrails repaired by MartyJ. The TIG welder had a few repairs to do on this game ! I've lost count of how many machines I've looked at that needed this kind of work.




I found only one issue with the new plastics set. The red plastic that sits above the target bank is incorrect. I ended up making my own out of perspex. It is not perfect, but it does the job.







A coat of red paint





Placed into position ;





Another repair was for the Crypt headstone assembly. The plastic washer was missing. I simply found plastic washers the same size and glued them together. works fine !





The ramps and most hardware are installed. Cliffy post rubbers from RTBB make a huge difference on these games. Of course, I use white rubbers as they look much better than the plain black (lifeless) rubbers..





The new plastics set and LEDS REALLY set this game up beautifully. Just for testing purposes, I fired the game up and tested it with the LED placement and game functionality. From here I will rebuild the flippers and attend to the boards.












Playing around with LEDs in the backbox, trying to highlight areas. Not a bad start.





Next update will be the flipper rebuilds and board rebuilds.
