Thanks for the comments gents,

Playfield is completely stripped top/bottom side. I will be working hard tonight to get any playfield imperfections/chips/wear filled etc so i can put down my first clear in the next couple of days. I would like to get the playfield rework done first as this can cure while i rebuild/clean everything and get that cabinet looking like new again. This is what held me up the most first time round, planning this time has definetely sped things up!

Wotto, thanks for the ideas - i've just been saving a mound of Terminator related screens/images from google etc. Hopefully i can use them and come up with something usable!

Have a good weekend guys
