Well some MASSIVE headway over the weekend. Just about all the parts I need have arrived and I was itching to get started on my favorite part of restoration - Replacing the targets ! NOT.. There's four assemblies to rebuild, and two of them have the extra coils to drop the individual targets - so there's a lot to do !
Here are the target assemblies prior to the rebuild ;
The metal parts needs to be soaked in degreaser, as they were previously lubricated - which is unneccesary. I then wash them with Windex and hot water. Use a grey scotchbrite (from auto shop) to remove any residue. All the drop targets are replaced. I bought the last set from
www.rtbb.com.au, and you can see them in the bottom left hand corner of the next picture. The assembly to the right of the targets is currently being rebuilt.
A close up of the targets - and what a huge difference to have new parts installed !

Looking good !
All the target banks fully rebuilt and ready to be installed !

A "bling" photo taken during the afternoon - look at that clearcoat !
Here's an interesting find. This is NOT the Classicplayfields repro playfield plastics - but a set Greg at RTBB found a couple of years ago and kept for me (as he knew I LOVED Fathom) - I had this plastics set before I owned the game !
I'll install these tomorrow - or when I get time early in the week.
