Thanks for the kind words. I consider myself very lucky that I get up every morning and work on something I love. I'm sure Tim feels the same way. We are both very fortunate
Although Tim and I are "full timers" there are many very good restorers on this site that are as good, but have not taken the step to full time. The key to pinball restoration is that you have to love what you are doing, and restore every game as if it is your own. Funnily enough, I have not done a "keeper game" for 6-7 years !
The Corvette pinball in an engineering marvel. Right up there with ST TNG. Very difficult to have everything working 100% - and strangely enough, I cannot recall playing a perfectly working game. So I'm keen to play this game when done !
