It does look terrific, I have just got back my NOS cleared by Eltimbo, but just picked up a JP that I think going to jump the queue, will save PM swap for the middle of winter I think, keen to see mine looking as sweet as yours though!!

What did Pinprick do to get the cabinet art looking so good?





Wow, that looks brilliant! Got me motivated to start my swap!!

Is the playfield the original now cleared, or a cleared NOS? Looks sensational!  ^^^

The playfield is a cleared NOS.
I ruined the original playfield trying to remove the full playfield mylar  ^.^
Fortunately there is still a few NOS ones getting about and I found another one in the US.
The guy sold it to me for a good price and packed it extremely well. Very good experience all round.
I really took my time with the swap as I was quite worried about stuffing it up.
I have a lot more confidence now and I'm ready to bring on the next playfield swap/resto.
My best advice if you are doing a Pin Magic machine is don't use all the new plastics from the various sellers.
If the new plastic looks different from the original, don't use it, clean up the original, PM for details.

I forgot to thank oldskool69 for his help with the harness and getting the playfield in and out. Thanks mate  :D
