POOL SHARKS RESURRECTION

[millsy]

Well its about time I posted my resurrection of my rusty pool sharks.
My aim is just to get it presentable and playable. Here is my progress so far.
The playfield has no wear at all, however has been mylared & dirt has penetrated the edges of the mylar which cant be cleaned without removing the mylar (I did not want to take the risk of lifting paint so I have left it alone.

Doing well Kev this game was a bit of a basket case When I seen it must have been kept in a very damp place for a long time just like my bandit.    Glad you have been able to save it
