Bally Power Play - oops

Seems a shame to go to all the trouble to respray the cabinet, when it isn't done right.  Can you spot it?  Pretty obvious actually.

Ran out of red paint for around the stars at the back!

Stencils not quite lined up  @.@
If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.

That's a fault with the stencil provided..

The negative stars through the back of the cab are meant to be part of the RED stencil sheet... not the blue!

The front of the cab's pattern is rotated 180 degrees.  It is both upside down, and reversed!  Look at the original on ipdb.org for comparison.

Yes, the guy does say it is a “one-of-a-kind restoration”.

If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

Stencil artwork is wrong. Feather's on the Indians cap and the stars.

Wrong legs, wrong apron decals..
