Cabinet photos with new door,coin plate and shooter assembly #.# The chimes, knocker and tilt board has have been installed inside the box. The Flipper Buttons are mounted using clear straps so they can be lit from behind with 47's or Coloured leds if you like. The 20 cent decal is white/black so any coloured lamp can be used. The bottom photos show how these are mounted.... Now onto the Playfield!

Long awaited update on King Pin . The owner Chris is happy with the results. Took sometime to get her going Due to oil on contacts. I used a piece of card and a little metho to reclean the offending relay contacts!! Game was not clear coated just waxed . Game was played by many on monday night at "Joe's" and this helped to iron out any issues. King Pin plays well , flippers nice and strong, I used a pair of the 'orange dot'(medium strength) Flipper coils on the lower main flippers , top flippers were rebuilt . Hope you like the results.

A couple of Shots of the front of Machine. Maxwhiz remade the 20cent logo's  ^^^. The Door, coin insert plate, coin inserts plastics and door locking plate are new from PBR and look nice . It  really sets the game off!!

Many a steadfast electronic era enthusiast really enjoyed playing this little beauty.
Love those chimes and what a great player to boot  #*#
Awesome job Sir Ralph
