An overdue update  ^^^

It has been a LONG journey with this machine, but it has been worth it. There were two issues I really wanted to address - A broken plastic and the intermittant issue of the dino not picking up the ball. Thankfully, I found a new plastic and the original spring for the Dino assembly.

Here's the parts I was eagerly waiting for ;







Amazing how a $1.00 spring can make such a huge difference to the gameplay. Given the fact that any game I restore MUST be working 100% - This spring ensures the Dino picks up the ball EVERY time !


Playfield is finished - final clean and wax. The game plays really well, and as I keep saying, this title is SEVERELY underrated. After playing this game solidly for hours over a two week period, I have come to the conclusion that it is the best DE machine ever made.




Finally Finished








Been the longest restore (to date), I'm still enjoying this machine immensely.
