One of my fav BGs, and a cool game. Looks pretty decent pre-resto!

The playfield is maylared and I'm happy to keep it that way at this time. I have stripped and cleaned the playfield. I need to rebuild the flippers, still tossing up the best way to do this and I am open to advise on this. I am going to sandback and respray the cabinet once I get the stencils off Gav. I have rebuilt/repaired the MPU board, it wasn't to bad really. I need to fix the sound card, never put a tantalum capacitor in the wrong way on the 5Volt in line, looks pretty with the orange flame and blue smoke but doesn't make the sound card work to well! You live and learn, I should have been paying move attention. Legs have been stripped back and reprayed in hammer tone grey, they came up great, not you can tell in the photo. Need to take a

Looks real cool - and that pin rocks!

Really cool game and glad your putting the time and effort into this to bring her back to her former glory  ^^^

Keep the updates coming.

Just one small bit of advice - spend the cash and replace the 3 bumper caps, well worth the money spent and makes the game came alive

Still waiting on the bumper caps and bodies for the PBR, they were out of stock. I'll post more pics as I go.
Thanks for the comments.

Very nice.
The playfield scrubbed up really well.
I'd love to see some more close up pics.

Here are the lastest pics of the Cosmic Princess. Progress has been a little slow, still waiting on parts from the PBR. Been doing the thankless jobs like new pins and connectors. Anyway, enjoy.

Sweet!

Do you have some white rubber spare?.  Game will play 100% better with fresh white rubber.  ^^^
