Hen's teeth, rocking horse s*it, comes to mind when talking about those displays.
Take good care of it as you will struggle to find another. @.@
Looks like a straight forward project from the pictures and should clean up well. #*#

Yeah, nice pickup there; it is probably sensible to start with a project that is a bit easier than some of the nutters on here attempt. By nutters I mean enthusiasts.

Well done Craig this is a lot  better than the first piece of crap you got and will in the long run be cheaper to bring back up to its former glory. ^^^

Good on you Morrie and Ratbag for giving  a lifetime warranty but i don't think he need to use it much as this machine looks pretty good and just about everything is working. ^^^

What time do i drop of that first project back or don't you wont it back <.>

Another five hours this afternoon and evening has the playfield and plastic looking like new. Put it all back together and presto..Coloured globes make a HUGE difference..... A few minor switch and ramp issues but apart from that all is good........... Here are a few pics of the playfield, brass ball cages and ramps now they have been cleaned and polished...
HUGE THANKS to Joey (Jomac) for burning the new English ROMS for me this afternoon......... Your a CHAMP!!

i can agree with that. my first pin was sitting in a ops shed on its back against a shed wall for 20 years

about a month after buying it i thought i better turn it on and see if it works as the original owner wasnt sure and didnt want to turn it on incase of a problem. It worked but was a tense moment

mate get ready for a restrip with your new polish shortly also  <..>. (you want it mailed or happy to wait?)

Also with frankie look at the games workshop range of paint also and some small sable brushes. They do some nice flesh colours and flesh wash (all water based) to touch him up. Used to use them back in the old days of warhammer collecting. only a few $$ a pot and heaps of colour choices

Another note with frankie to get into the creases of his clothes ect to give him a good clean spray him with polish and use a old electric toothbrush in the crevices i found this a handy tool to clean in hard to reach places  @@*
