Hi Nino, I meant to ask when I saw it but the half lockdown bar on the first page, I've noticed on another Gottlieb wide body machine that the lockdown looked like it had a join in the middle. Did they use to just cut down two regular lockdowns to make one new longer wide body lock down or was there another story behind this?

These extra widebody games have a joint in the middle. The housing is all one piece, but it looks like GTB trimmed two standard lock down bar covers to make one.

Update on this restoration ;

My Airbrush died 4 weeks ago.
I bought a new one. It was DOA (Dead on arrival)
A week later, I received the parts to fix it
The parts didn't fix it
A week later, I received just another Airbrush - as a replacement and as a sign of goodwill from the seller
After an hour of using the second airbrush, it developed a different problem than the original. I didn't want to make one out of two, so I sent it back.

I'm currently reading reviews on the professional airbrushes, and I'll have one by next week. $400 +  ^&^

However, I did finish up the latest touch ups and it is off to get cleared this week, so i will be waiting for a week anyway !
