Looking Good, Dean... what are your plans ?Will you be keeping one machine and selling the other ?The ball arch - Planning on repainting the white area. I was thinking that I would have a go at it if I had this machine..If the contact (mylar) is anything like the Sinbad - it will come off without any problems. Just in case you choose to go down that path. I would say there is a pristine playfield two hours away !!Nino, only one of the two Countdowns belongs to me. The pics are of the first one I am restoring and is the most advanced and does not belong to me. The other has commenced but I have been spending more time on this one. The one that does not belong to me I assume will be sold by the owner. Between the two of them there were parts missing as such I have removed from one to get this one up and running. I have ordered yesterday new targets for my machine and some metal parts from PBR. I will order some flipper parts from RTBB as these are also missing from under one playfield.The machine I own will be a keeper, and fully restored over a few years. My aim is to evantually (before I leave this world, buried in a pin cabinet as a coffin, with backbox sticking out of ground and player one score displaying my year of birth and player 2 date of death ) is to own all 16 system 1 machines. ONLY 13 to go, dont tell my wife, she recons I have enough pins already . Will evantually remove the mylar as you state. Regarding the ball arch yes, I would like to repaint this, any sugestions on how? Could it be sanded and sprayed from a can or would this look shit? What about poweder coating? Apron is the same, I will talk to PBR and see if they have any aprons or decals as it is these two areas (apron & ball arch) that detract from the machine. Cheers Dean
