Update.
I have been busy moving house n changing businesses and storing and selling machines and buying new ones, so the Phoenix was put aside to do some other things, BUT I have done the following >
1. All boards in the machine have been totally professionally restored back to brand new with no expense spared by Beaky(Andy) and all the boards look better than brand new with all parts that could be replaced on the boards done.
2. I bought all Brand New pinled displays from the USA with a Brand New Master and Slave board so she will come up a beauty.
3. I purchased a second populated playfield from Rob at Bikecity so I can make/choose the best playfield and inserts etc from both populated playfields before I get the playfield fully prepped and clearcoated.
4. I have made my own stencils and its now time to go to the paint shop.
5. Making space in my garage/spa room to do the Phoenix and will document with photos
6. Also got a 9/outta 10 spare backglass as the first backglass was pretty much stuffed.
7. This job will be my first full blown restore, and I know it will come out a treat, cause If I get stuck, I will just pay someone who really knows what they are doing.lol but we should be fine, so much info on here re restorations anyway n so many great people to help via a sms or PM or phonecall.
Will take some photos n will add over the next week.
