So, the first bummer of the project...
He's blue, not green :( - big bucks for a replacement that is green is not in the budget of the project at this time - so I'll have to enjoy it, blue or green. At least it's sharp!
Had to clean up the apron, as the dang thing was filthy. Amazing how dirty parts of this game were! I was able to take Novus #2 and get most of it off - Novus #1 wouldn't touch it. The center artwork is just a crappy sticker on the proto game (seem to recall my 'production' game is screened, but can't be 100% sure til I unpack it.
The Novus #2 was showing black paint on the rag - so I had to be very careful. I may wax the apron and see if it helps cover some of the imperfections. I will also see if I can find any apron decals, and perhaps a compatible apron to repaint and sticker.
It's tough to see in the pictures, but the original shooter gauge is absolutely stuffed. It took me 2 years to find an original replacement!
And the MRS mod: (magnetic reed switch)
Need to get some double faced tape to stick it to the bowl.
I hope to play a game tonight, after a bit more work. But, if it takes another day or so, I won't rush it :)
