great purchase. good onya. looks great.

El-timbos restore on his funhouse, has upped the level of resto to a new level. now, everyone else will want to try and match or beat it. It was real good.
Martys restores are amazing as well. Not to mention John from the USA.

It will be nice to see how this one turns out. Thanks for the pictures.

Not trying to outdo anyone on a restore,

Picked this one up from an operater in Canada who had in on sight for 5 years then out in his shed for the remainder 5 years.In really nice condition ,just in need of redecaling and playfield spit and polish.

This is what i accomplished this morning.

Pic1, ready for decal
Pic2,decal applied
Pic3 & 4 decals cut to size and finished

Spent at least 6 hours prepping it for the decals and i,m bloody happy with the way thaey went on. Smooth as a babys bum.

Thats it untill next weekend when i get stuck into the cabinet.

Looking good, I wouldn't be too keen to get a pin in from overseas that is in nice condition, and then immediately strip it down lol. I would want some games first.

You still going to make it to the meet next weekend or are you concentrating on getting this one back together?

Decals look like they went on really smooth and square!

Keep the updates coming, looking really nice man.

Wow great work   Hey did you actually have any games before the tear down??

Is that a Holden/GM ute in the 1st lot of pics??

[Skybeaux]

Your certainly not mucking around there Madness , getting straight into it.

..And doing a first class job as well by the look of it ...look forward to seeing how nice it looks when finished.

Great work.  Those decals went on very nicely.

I'm very impressed as to the effort into packing/shipping the pin for you.  The wrapping / crate is very good.  If I was to buy a pin o/s I'd feel comfortable seeing it ship like that.

[Strangeways]

Really nice packing job there 

Did you at least play one game before teardown 

Nice job so far.

[yeehah]

I picked up a Cactus just 3 weeks ago and love it to death.  Its a great game no wonder its price is going out of control.  Too bad they didnt produce more of such a great game hence would be much more affordable.

Had a couple to see that it was working correctly(great game-loved it),but wanted to do the teardown asap as i said to myself when i was going to buy it that i would and if i didnt start i would just sink more piss and it might never get done.

Should be there saturday,bit fluey at present but hopefully over it by then.

Cheers

Coming up better than expected mate,
Should be around 5 weeks total and you can come have a bash,

The seller had it wrapped up like that for me the way i wanted,but UPS would not ship it unless it was crated,and as it turns out it was a good move for customs as the crate was heat treated-no need for fumigation and an easy clearance.
