..........I continue (as the thing sometimes just posts itself when I'm not finished??!! ................. the other thing I would mention is a strange aspect which usually happens to me, and I wonder if it's the same for others. ..... When I get to a certain point with a machine (say: about 90% done), I find myself really going slow and it becomes like 'pushing a load uphill'. That is it becomes almost like going in slow motion. I put this down to the difficulty of the playfield work, and the 'dreamlike' state which overcomes me. I guess it's because by now, I've been at it for 3-4 months, and it feels like I dream about 'Bank A Ball', as well as the concentration on it in my waking hours. Does anyone else have similar experiences with the machines they restore? .... Fortunately, this phase passes and then it all comes on with a rush during the 'putting it all back' stage, which follows the painting part. For myself, I really enjoy putting all parts back on the machine, as they are already done, cleaned, adjusted and replaced where necessary. Anyway, I'll attach a few pics, and look forward to finally putting a clear coat over what has been done. Cheers, Mark
