Well I wanted a restore that would give me a good taste of all the different aspects you could encounter during a restoration and this game will certainly give me that. That said I'm still deciding where to start.
Once the new board arrives I was wondering whether I should try and get it up and running first then go about tearing it down and restoring/rebuilding it, or whilst it's somewhat disassembled now just continue stripping it down and cleaning and repairing/replacing stuff leaving the boards and that side of things until last.
I was thinking about starting on fixing the issues with the playfield first, raised/sunken inserts and paint touchups.
