Really pleased to see the outcome at such a high standard. It looks GREAT. that's a lot of hours and dedication, that when completed, make the game more appealing to the owner. I love watching restoration work.
Well done - and what's next ?
Thanks Nino,
I really appreciate your comments and as you know I don't restore these to sell, I rebuild them to my expectations for my collection and usually spend more time and money on them than either what they are worth at current retail or what others might spend. If I were to sell them now I would possibly make back my spend but lose the hours, it's a hobby and keeps me at home and out of the pubs etc so family are cool with it and I really find it stress relieving and therapeutic in a way plus a lot of satisfaction knowing I did it all by myself with no outsourcing at all.
Wife just informs me I can no longer restore pinball machines in the living and dining rooms LOL so not having a shed it looks like my office will be converted into a workshop if I am to continue ;)
I really like system 1 Gottlieb's and Early SS Bally's from 77 to 79 and would also like to have a go at an EM as they were my favourites, I won a Gottlieb Jungle Princess in a Comp back in 79 and I would love to have it again in the collection, also looking for a Close Encounters and a Charlies Angels so I am on the lookout for the next one but will be very choosy which means it could take a while to source.
Still a few things to finish on Cleo so I will post more pics etc as I complete it.
Now to clean out the office ;)
