Hi all, Time for a LONG OVERDUE update!!

I've been plodding along, on this restore along with several others at the same time.. as well as working several other 'real jobs'  :D
This game has sure thrown me a few curve balls and given me a few headaches as a result, but it's coming together finally  $#$

Time for some pics;

Drop targets fully rebuilt, with brand new targets Tony provided with the game.
I added some mylar for added protection.





The bumper switch spoons were looking a bit worse for wear so i replaced them with new items. I've seen these in the past completely worn out with holes worn thru them!



I ended up making new coil wrappers for all of the coils, i was originally only going to replace the ripped/damaged ones



Fully rebuilt bumper mechs.





Flipper mechs rebuilt, with new rebuild kit this time instead of my hand fabricated links as i would usually do.







Slings fully rebuilt; the kickers were badly worn so i replaced them with new Bally/Wms items.
Some redrilling was needed to fit them.




The apron and shooter gauge were repainted, and a Pinball Rescue decals applied.






Everything was test and adjusted before fitting the playfield into the cabinet








Next to be done; Backglass sealing and a few minor touchups, and the game will be complete  #*# #*#
