First very basic mods are:
- Stern Flipper Button guards
- leg / cabinet protectors
1. Stern flipper button guards - my machine had wide black electrical tape hiding cabinet wear so wanted to improve that with Stern Flipper Button Guards from AMD Amusements in Sydney for $22 a set which includes the screws (you will have to contact them as they do not list on their website). I am happy with the upgrade - hides the wear and makes the machine look a little more modern.

. I purchased these from RTBB for $20 so good value as well.

Shop out- general shop out, clean and polish
- correct the flipper coils and install diodes back into all of them as well as new flipper kits and a new upper flipper bats
- remove the washing up sponge as from research was a common thing in this machine
- install white rubber kit
- all new plastics kit
- correct the backbox hinge bolt on one side
Mods- be adding a shark figure
- be adding a US Coast Guard Helicopter possibly with led/s
- possibly mirror blades if Stern ones fit in - which sure will help others with Sega machines
