Remember I did this initial work maybe 2 years ago - The playfield was in awesome condition. I needed to replace the green target amongst other things.
Cliffy Protectors - a must for this machine - these are the "hyper thin" and they work a charm
Power Shed Cliffy - and there's a few non standard posts that will need to be replaced. Data East had a bulletin regarding the old style posts, so I purchased the replacements which are installed at a later date.
The sidewalls are painted and the playfield is slowly re assembled. Looks very good at this early stage.
