Fitted repro side rails and door sticker today and finished debugging the faults .

Just need to make a few adjustments to Pop Bumoer switches and this game will be finished.

Here's a couple of pics .

Next up is Gottlieb Thoro Bred

Stunning. That is one sweet restoration. I've never seen an Old Chicago with decent original paint - all of them are faded. Well done - very pleasing effort.
