This game has been in the Restoration queue for a LONG TIME. I did start it a while ago, and it is slowly coming together. There are a few games that I need to document that I need to catch up on, and this is the first. The game was an import and needs a fair bit of work to be presentable. This has been earmarked to use the "Pinball Protectors" - which arrived a while ago.
ObjectiveThis machine needs new cab art. The factory decals are scratched, missing or peeled. A previous owner tried using it to mix paints at some point ! This will be more a restoration as the cabinet needs a lot of work. As mentioned, the playfield will have the Playfield Protector installed.
Condition reportCabinet - 4/10 - Not presentable. Scratches and mixed colours all over the place. Holes in the front panel. Needs work and will have new decals installed.
Playfield - 8/10 - VERY solid. Has some wear that will be an easy fix in the CPU insert area. Fillthy playfield. Will clean up well. Broken plastics and other items that will be addressed.
Electronics - 8/10 - One of the better Terminator 2 board set. No major hacks.
The teardownHere's the starting point. Setup and a couple of games have been played. Very sloppy, but it has potential !
Filthy playfield
This is the point most stop and clean around posts and pop bumpers. Shortcuts in my view !
Under the playfield - EVERYTHING will be rebuilt.
Filthy plastics - I mean really filthy !
Here's a section of the playfield that has been briefly cleaned, and there's already a huge difference !
.. as opposed to a section I have not touched !
The stripped cabinet ;
Decals removed and basic prep work commenced.
