Mate, you are my new hero!

What a great thread, on an awesome resto.
You go to amazing lengths to restore your pins, I'm blown away.
I'll definately be watching for when you have machines for sale if they're all like this.

Happy to share my progress and experience. Some aspects of the restorations are picked up from other members here and the Marvin's guide. The backglass channel installation was initially discussed on Pinfan's Star Trek Restoration - check that out.

I get my "kicks" when others post their restorations. The time I spend documenting and sharing my work here is returned when others buy their first machine or start their first restoration.

This aspect of pinball (restoration), is starting to really grow - there are more pinheads willing to get their hands "dirty". With 100's of pins coming into the country annually theres a lot of opportunity.
