My eldest son is having a bash now, had to laugh, standing on tippie toes, he is growing so fast, not so long ago he needed a chair to stand on

Matt - Outstanding work mate - just sensational !

Hey Matt,

Nice pic.

Something I note is the big window next to the pins.
I am so paranoid about UV rays fading my cabs.

“The cook” is actually making me some covers for all my machines at the moment as I have seen the art on my Mame cab fade in just a few months by having little exposure to UV rays  in a room where I keep the blinds 8 tenths closed most the time an there’s no way I want that happening to my pins.

Yeah, I have considered that mate, the windows are all doubleglazed which prob helps a bit, and we have a bull nosed verandah going all the way around the house, but I will need to consider doing something in the future, at the moment all the cabs are ok but could do with new decals so no immediate rush.

My wife is always pestering me for blinds in that room, but I think they would spoil the look of the rumpus room, we are on 5 acres and is looks out onto our backyard and outdoor entertaining area.  I have been thinking of looking into it for a little while though

Nice restoration.

 

[ajlaird]

Remendous work, you must be as pleased as Punch with the result you have got there!

[elkor-alish]

Nice one mate.
Top restoration on a top game.
I hope mine turns out as well as yours has.

[bigdaddy]

Great work. It takes a lot of love to get a machine to that stage. Love those coloured posts!
