Thanks lads. I realise now that I've been 'on' this machine since last October. .... The playfield was the real hard part of this restoration. As involved as the work on the cab is, it seems 'easy' compared to the 4 months we spent on the playfield. After that had been done, it has given me the 'drive' to see this part completed. Ace High is one of the best Gottlieb's of its time.
Some folks think that 2" flipper games &/or woodrails don't play well, but I have no idea where this myth got legs. In all of pinball there were two great decades where Gottlieb brought out some of the most playable games of all time. I class 1955-1965 as the first of these decades (woodrails, wedgeheads, but ALL 5 ball push-up games.) Then 1966-1976 ... ( 2" to 3" flippers, auto ball shoot, drop targets etc but ALL wedgeheads {single player games}. .... To me these are pinball's 2 greatest decades .... just a few ramblings.
I'll post a few more pics when more progress is made.
