I can't help but notice the lamp board is still under the removed inserts - did you remove these while the lamp board was still installed? If so, I'm impressed!

Hehe.  Nope just screwed it back in.  My two little furry helpers might get it confused with one of their toys if it hangs down and swings...

Side rails on.  Personally I prefer the Sys 11 rails as per the game flyer rather than the thinner WPC rails.  Either way they're on now and staying!

Progress.

Big thanks to RTBB for getting the extra long bolts in for me.  Anyone who uses the HD leg brackets these are a must!

Cabinet is now on legs and sitting how it should.

Playfield is coming back together nicely.  Most underside components are bolted back on, every coil rebuilt, cleaned etc.  Rudi back in, 100% rebuilt with a spare delrin set in case he breaks (will happen).

I had kept the playfield resto thread separate.  I will see how this playfield sets up and if no clear issues then I'll use it... &&

No topside components to be bolted on for at least another 6 days.  Playfield won't see a ball for at least 30 days  ^.^

He does look very freaky indeed!

I cannot wait to play it.  I'm hitting well over 50 hours into this already, so I'm guessing maybe another 16 or so and it should be ready to play....It has the home ROM so Rudi should come alive a bit more too!

How long til yours arrives?  Is it coming in as is or ready to roll?  I know of at least one other which will get a resto thread on here within 12 months at least!

Marco's has the new playfields listed already.  I believe IPB will have them ready for those on the list soon!
