Black Hole and Spirit were the only 2 late SS Gottlieb games I played frequently on site when they were released.  BH has the best ever designed lower playfield - genius.
This one is coming up nice and brings back memories.

Looking Good , The new window looks great , Don't forget the globes that light up the Lower Playfield are 24V!! , Use #313 lamps. Mounted around the underside of the  new window.

When I finally get around to the restoration of my game, I plan to convert that lower playfield illumination to 6 volt - info here http://www.pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Gottlieb_System_80#Replacing_Black_Hole_Lower_Playfield_Illumination_Lamps_with_.2344_Lamps

Pretty simple and effective mod.

Yeh real happy, was a much  easier fix in the end. Very happy. The pascal mpu and swemmer sound/speech board are awesome. The spinner motor is noisier than i had hoped, but is ok.

Bloody hard game, or just my poor pinball skills.
