Gee... that looks nice.. real nice. Coin door is on par with mine for Jumpin jacks AND Bank A Ball... both rusty as all hell.


...Is that an Allwin next to it?

Onya Ralph!

Ted & I are sitting here admiring your work right now.
Ted suggests you go back to Inkpen Tip & recover the white ant eaten boxes 'cos we reckon ya could restore anything.
Keep the threads coming now that you've finally started.

Cheers

Good one Ralph !!
You will have to put up some of your other "back from the dead" restorations. Seeing what some of your machines were like when got them to what they are now is amazing.

Phenomenal work, at least a true resurrection of the front end!  As Gavin mentioned, that coin door has had CPR on it and brought back to life.  Cabinet looks sensational.  What did the playfield look like before?  Any before images?  Well done.

Nice! Interesting game, very similar layout to King Pin, main difference being the upper flipper size and placement.
