Christmas Holiday projects??
« on: December 11, 2009, 03:21:43 PM »
Ahh yes.......one month off starting today....... &&

And Monday signals the start of a 'facelift' for my FT. Gonna start with the playfield and go from there. And after seeing shots of EB's 'LED blinged' FT I might partake myself.....Any hot tips will be appreciated!!! PS - anyone have a spare caster club plastic in good condition? (the one above the ball lock) She's trashed.....

Anyone else got big pinny plans for the silly season??

Im going to get into Jungle Queen restore and finish the cleaning ready for re-assembly. The more I look at this the harder it will be to sell!

Not all will be done -  The Aces High and Star Jet are 60's Ballys. Star Jet will be interesting as it is missing the score motor but I have a few boxes of score motors I can check. That's why I'm doing Aces High and Star Jet together - Same motor and era - so I can swap things around.

Canada Dry  #@# - I need a Gottlieb Fix !!

CFTBL - Well it was supposed to be in Santa's Sack for someone - But I've been VERY delayed in the last 6 months.

It's all GOOD FUN !

I have a Joker Poker that was going to have new art work stenciled, but instead we're gonna try doing it in decals (watch out, here come the copyright police!! ;)

I hope to make significant progress on my CFTBL project.

Hoping my missing rotisserie bits show up in time, but not holding my breath.
