Thanks for the comments guys really glad you like it.

  Paragon as come to another screeching halt for now.
  Had some parts arrive for other peoples macines so back to work i go.

  Heres what i did manage to get done tonight.

  Polished up the shooter rod and housing and installed new springs

Cleaned and polised the coach bolts and re installed the doors frame

Ive also installed the door and the dirty playfield just so i can push the machine back into the lineup space is an issue at the moment.

Really nice Daniel.

Hi Nino
           Playfield is mylared but it's cracked and shrunk there are a couple of wear marks near the pop bumpers and the paragon inserts have sunken hopefully not cupped. 
   
   I have brand new bumper bodies skirts and caps all new drop target all new plastic posts new flipper kits and coils for all mechs new flipper plastics.

  Plastics all look in good condition except for the top left one with the guy on it is broken but really havent looked that close at the rest.

  To be continued...........

Looking good Daniel.

Send me a pm re any broken plastics and I will check my spares. If I have them and they are not broken as well, will post them to you.
