Starting to come together now guys,

Certainly not much of an update, but i figure i may as well keep the posts coming as its a 'real-time' restoration thread...

New siderails installed...


Final playfield touchups and clear applied...now its ready for a cut and polish...


I'm hoping to get the backbox fitted out tomorrow, and get it reinstalled with the body. It should start looking a bit more 'complete' then.

I'm really excited to begin the playfield rebuild, as it was looking pretty tired last time i saw it.

Anyways, hope your enjoying the progress, and i'll try to update the thread again tomorrow  *%*

Hey guys,

The past few days have been busy, but i have got a few more bits and pieces done.

The cabinet now has a head, and is looking/standing much prouder now  #*# . To combat cabinet wear when folding the backbox, i also made some small felt protectors that attach to the inside of the hinges to stop them wearing against the sideart/siderails. I will post a small write-up at the end of the week if people are interested?

Here she is...


new warning decal is also applied. I still need to trim the rear vents, so ill get that done when all metal parts come back from zincing...


Its great to see something happening with the playfield also. Its funny, you have the playfield stripped of parts for so long, that you kind of forget that it will be covered in bits and pieces at the completion of the build. Today i got all metal guides regrained, installed new t-nuts underside and cleaned up the p-clips for the looms.

Just a few snaps...

Underside done...


Rails being re-installed along with some topside rubber...


Also got a start on the slings...


I went with the white rubber, i feel it brightens up the game a bit and will keep it black dust free for a while  !@#

I truly cannot WAIT to play this game, playfield is nice and level (much better than it WAS) and it should flow quite well.

More updates to follow guys,

Hope your enjoying the progress

Glad you chose the White rubbers, Tim. It just looks awesome to have white rubbers on that shiney clear coat.
