The underside of the playfield is almost completed. I was not happy with the leaf switches, so I ordered new ones from RTBB. The mounting brackets were not the best so I replated them, along with other hardware that I missed during my earlier replating sessions ! These are small parts that would get lost if I sent them away to be replated.





Pop Bumper bodies are replaced with NEW parts. In fact, just about everything on the playfield is new !





Under the playfield is almost completed. New ground braid, all lamp sockets, new flipper kits - the list goes on !





A close up of the detailed work. Even the manufacturing card is reproduced and signed by me. Small details that add up to a very involved restoration.





The upper playfield is coming along nicely. The playfield posts are new.





A quick test with the playfield mounted in the cabinet. Looks amazing !





The apron and shooter section have been repainted and the decals installed.





Some quick bling photos of the nearly completed playfield.








I'm really pleased with the progress. The game plays exceptionally well.
