Thanks heaps for the positive comments. How many hours???? lets just say nearly every weekend and after work for the 5 month period from start to finish. I use white cardboard for my stencils (bought from the newsagents) weighing them down so they sit flat. Because i had no artwork to trace i had to draw them onto the cardboard to cut out. The playfield is mylar covered.. as are all of my machines i've restored.
