Well I just got home from putting about a dozen games on this work of art!
This game is simply beautiful, Matt has done a sensation job in turning this thing into just about museum quality. Glad to see that paint worked so well, looking forward to letting my brother know about that too.
And does it play well!! Matt has it set at 4 degrees, maybe a half a degree or so over what Gottlieb said back in the day, and it works very well indeed. Ball speed (while a long way off a DMD of course) is reasonable, pretty close to the early solid state games. The shots are all working very nicely. In keeping with the theme, back-handing the left and right target banks is particularly satisfying.
Managed to double clock it before getting too excited and setting off the way too delicate tilt on my last ball. I'd still be there mesmerized by this game if Matt hadn't needed to shoo me off so he could get to work.
Wonderful game, restored like few others, a credit to Matt's dedication to this wonderful gift for his dad.
